@Yasin1

The B&O stickers on the 3 party equipment... You are closer than you think!  🙂

Did you know the Marantz AV receiver pictured has a B&O Essence mkII embedded?

They share exactly the same hardware module from Microchip.... 

BTW. Cool collection ! 😎

I believe that is only a very generic wifi card actually.

Actually it also does audio; https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Standard_Microsystems_CX870-3B

I'm actually quite curious about the 'hifi-ish' this card actually is?

It's a SOC (System on Chip), a memory and a network PHY, that is it! No fancy audio circuitry here! The module is 28$/1000pcs, and anyone can buy a development kit complete with software tools! 

The Essense has diversity antennas on the motherboard but apart from that, the Essence hardware IS the module!

If you subtract the price of the Essence from the price of the Marantz... 👍

It definitly has a on-board DAC for line-level output, quality?. It also has spidf and other digital connections for external (B&O chosen) DAC. Did anyone find one in the Essence?

Kvadrat cover in dusty rose

I've also relocated my cable box from the bracket to a vertical position on the wall and in the process of tidying up the cords that go from the cable box to the power outlet none of which is visible. I'm much happier with this configuration. Before with the bracket you wild see the big black snake hanging down from in front of the TV. Now you don't see it at all.
