Mm still with multi room function or individual stream?It is Spotify Connect , that is built in. Meaning, that you can redirect your Spotify stream from another device to the Essence 2nd gen and then let that do the streaming. MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Spotify does not allow multiroom streaming
Use Deezer instead.

MM, are you quite sure multiroom will not work with spotify? A dealer told me (without much confidence, though, and without demonstrating) that Spotify would do multiroom on Beo products with spotify connect (i.e. on A9 MK2 and Essence MK2, but not on Moment).
That's my main question deezer app on the bvs avant 55 and v1 are horrendously slow and unresponsive wonder if any fellow beoworlders experienced this spotify connect seemed to be much betterMM, are you quite sure multiroom will not work with spotify?

Spotify will not distribute digitally. You can try to trick things using Spotify connect, but it is still not distributing. If you want to distribute Spotify you will need to run an analog line out of something back into the aux in on a BLC, Essence MKII, or aux input of the A9 MKII. Deezer is the only answer to this currently. I have not experienced nor have any end users that I know of experienced any of the sluggish/unresponsiveness you speak of.
Sorry for a dumb question, but I am a little behind on the new products. Is the Essence only for use with stand alone speakers? Or can it be connected to speakers that are connected to a Beovision?
The MKII is basically a NL active kit that can share sources. It can function in a network and without one.Sorry for a dumb question, but I am a little behind on the new products.

So with a netlink converter, I could connect to the current MasterLink system?And then using the Essence remote could turn on just the front speakers connected to a TV?Is it possible to have an individual Essence controller for each TV in the Masterlink system?
Good Morning,Can anybody explain me, what is the real difference between MK1 and MK2? OK there is Deezer in MK2 and they say multi room. In the manual I can't find anything that I cannot do with my MK1. My MK1 works fine with the new BeoMusic App 🙂Thanks Mat
