The same happened to me once, I posted twice and then tried another web browser - somehow it worked in the other browser while the two first posts appeared after some hours.

Edit: Double post (ironically)..

MM that still begs AnalogPlanet's question.
B&O systems are (and always have been eg my 5000) incredibly sophisticated systems.
So why has the documentation over decades been so sparse ?

It's as though the minimalist philosophy has been applied here as well.
But that prevents us exploiting their solutions' rich capabilities.

That's exactly what I thought. I think this is a wonderful addition to the "wheelie" (as I am not even using it with Essence), B&O should be less "shy" and more prominently than just in FAQ section put it on display for current and potential future users.

And then back to the original topic: I think with this Essence Mk2 becomes even more "sexy" product, with one bit more of that B&O magic we all so frequently here demand. :)

Thank you so much! 

Now both my TuneIn presets work, and my Deezer is able to play more than the 30 seconds preview.

I don't get why they don't tell you in the set-up that you need to log in both in the BeoMusic App and the Setup :/?

Hi,

I read almost every post and I am still confused.

My actual setup is a BV8-40 (incl 4 BeoLab Speaker / 1 Subwoofer) The BV8-40 is connected to a BLC (ML/NL) trough a Masterlink-Cable. The BLC is connected to a ethernet-switch. The BS Moment is connected to the same ethernet-switch. The switch to the Router.

Is it possible to replace the BS Moment with the Essence MK 2? Will the TV power-up, if I press something on the "Essence-Knob"? Will the Essence Power and the BV-8 power up and start playing, if I press Music on the Beoremote One? Do I need the BLC?

I checked the B&O-FAQ, but I didn´t find a correct answer. HELP

Cheers Beroli

Hi Beroli,

the question was (more or less) asked somewhere in this (or another) thread.

Since I am interested in a similar question:

'Will the BS Essence (knob or app) be able to turn on a NL-tv/will the NL-tv behave like, if a BS Moment is connected to it/will the sources of the Essence be visible in the source menu?'

I have contacted Beocare to get an answer.

When I receive the answer, I will of course post it here.

However, It would be nice, if someone could try it out and post the results!

Quick update

The Essence MK2 is working with the "wheely" in Bluetooth mode AND the external IR-Receiver!

NICE! Placed the "wheely" on the wall and a Beo4 is anyway next to the sofa...

Very nice Carlito,

Is there a difference in soundquality between the moment and the essence mkII.
