My first ML/NL product

Hi. Just a quick question, i own today a Encore and stream my music from the NAS.. When it comes to fileformat on the music, most of my music is playable on the Encore. So if i move my libary over to the beosound/beomaster this will work won't it?

Pretty much the same.

You wrote about future-ripping to losles - and I told you to use FLAC (or WMA-losless).

If you rip with iTunes (as a Mac-user often do) to ALAC, you would have to convert afterwards.

Oksy. Thank you.. As of today nothing is linked together, so i have to do the hole ML job around the house also..

i am starting to feel the Bs5/Bm is the right product for me to start with.. And link everything from this and the future beovision..

Hi guys,

I am pretty much doing the same thing - waiting on B&O for an installation date and delivery of a beovision 11.

After an incredibly long debate with B&O, I have gone with the Beomaster 5, Masterlink gateway (connection to Lutron), some new speakers 12-2's with an 11 - there is also a playmaker in the mix Soni can stream music. The rest will be connected to a 3500 and a beosystem 2500 with 8000 speakers. I am also building a HT (next month my build out starts), so I am looking at the beosystem 3 - but have many concerns B&O has not addressed yet using a projector with 2.35:1 screen).

What is unusual and in a way interesting, is the way they are connecting the 12-2's to both the Beomaster 5 and Beovision 11, essentially the speakers are connected to both! So that if I watch tv and play music, both will be played at the same time - not ideal, but a connectivity compromise I am willing to make to overcome the dam no delay.

Unlike Norman... My NAS music has deteriorated due to corrupt index's on my Mac and after 3 migrations I have lost songs - so a re-burn of my library is best. My big question is the best quality format to use when burning songs again on the Beomaster 5 (lossless is preferred), in such a way that I can also copy/ convert the files into iTunes and get album artwork? Any opinions?

I'll let you guys know ow it all works out.

Another connection issue is how do I connect a V1 to my a9? Anybody have any ideas?

Will you be able to use MOTS with this setup (no Beosound 5)?

Hi Simbohm,

what you describe, seems a quite messy setup. i hope your B&O-dealer knows what he is doing.

Do you have the BM5 without the Beosound5?

If without, how is the BM5 connected to the BV11?

Normally I would say that it is impossible to run one set of speakers from 2 different masters at the same time - at least without a swich of some kind. Could you tell more about how it is connected???

 

When you rip to any losless format, you can always create (burn) a CD-A afterwards without any losses.

You want to rerip your cd-collection? If you have the BS5 as well, I would recommend to buy the ripdrive - it makes things much easier.

You can connect a V1 to the line-in of a A9. You need a special cable: RJ45-PowerLink to RCA. You can get that from your dealer - he should know that!

Hi.

What formats is it possible to rip the cd collection in with the ripdrive? 

Yes, using B5 as my primary NAS storage (backed up to NAS). Plan to use MOTS
