There was a discussion regarding the sound quality on the Moment-thread that is worth considering since you have the BL90's. It all started with John from B&O Manchester (see his youtube channel), who was baffled by the improvement in sound quality when he removed the Moment in the shop and replaced it with the Core. 

I love the look and user experience of my Moment, but must admit that I'm considering the Core just for the improved sound quality. 

B&O will shortly release a new remote with a display that will make replacing the Moment easier: think of the Essence remote and add display, sort of a round remote thing.It will retail for approx €750, and if you add the cost of the Core you are perhaps paying more than you would for a 2nd hand Moment.

Cool! It was a long time since a new remote was launched. Think it makes sense with a screen, since all current products lack information on what is playing. My wife hates flipping between channels on eg M5, BS1 and our other units with no information on what is playing.

Its not always convenient to grab the phone and use the app.

This really baffles me! Why should there be any noticeable difference in sound quality from any top of the range B&O sound source (as opposed to speakers)?

Have a look at

@vikinger - this is what I got from the man himself back when the issue was adressed:

Subject:Moment vs Core on Sound quality

I've just asked about this and was told that since the comparison was done using BeoLab 3 the connection was via PowerLink (where the Moment outperforms the Core) so the comparison in the video was likely using Deezer HiFi on the Core and normal Deezer on the Moment. Before upgrading to the BeoLab 50 you should audition using optical connection from the Core, and PL connection from the Moment, and see what you prefer as a total package.

I would have thought it would be a level playing field between the digital out of the Core versus digital over WISA between Moment and a Beolab.

 

 

Why would there be a difference if exactly the same track at the same bit depth and sampling rate were fed to the same Beolab...?

If I'm reading all this correctly, I believe there are known sound differences between the Core and Moment's PowerLink.  That is, the Moment has superior PL output to the Core, and this is what John from Manchester heard on the video.  

Does anyone know how to connect the Beosound Moment to a BL90?

The Moment has two powerlinks coming out but the BL90 has only one Powerlink in....
