Hi,

I just bought Beoplay A1 and thought it would be an easy task to sync it with my beoplay M5. Afterwards I’ve found out that it may not be possible. Can someone help me out?

That will not be possible if you mean sync to play the same source, A1 is a bluetooth speaker and has no access to wifi. Therefore it cannot e.g share sources from M5.

But if the B&O app was aside a controller also a renderer than it would be imaginable.

It would be impractical to implement. I suggest returning the A1 and getting an M3 instead.
