I am planning to add a Philips NP1100 Internet Radio receiver to my 32 years old Beomaster 4000. Can anybody tell me if there's much difference regarding sound quality between a 3.5-to-5 pin plug and a RCA-to-5 pin plug?
Thanks a lot

The connectors themselves cause no diffence whatsoever. However, on that product the 3.5mm socket seems to be for connecting headphones, so you should use the proper line out connection which has the RCAs.
Take care that you get an adapter/cable that carries sound in the correct direction (from the DIN to the RCAs), or get an adapter with four RCA connectors so you can try which two are the right ones.
Hi Joan, Have a look around for a second hand Roku M1001 (SD card) faily cheap and look like B&o check out others which have spdif output too 😐

No probs - just noticed though that I wrote incorrectly, you of course want the sound from the RCAs to the DIN 🙂
Hello,
I just bought something similar for my dad's Beocenter 9000.
I opted for the Terratec Noxon iRadio for iPod.
manual can be found here: link
Advantage: Also an Ipod dock included (= only one cable to connect "two things" an internet radio and the ipod), plus can stream music, has a timer set to go on simultanously as the B&O, can be used seperately, nice build quality and screen, remote control. can be used seperately as a stand alone radio
Little strange: the "line-out" can be controlled by the volume button
203euro (at redcoon, sold out on Amazon)
He's quite happy.
