No more B&O sound system?

25 replies
What about the Beo6 remote? It shows artist, title, album and cover art, and you can browse through albums and artists. But I believe it’s limited to BS5/BM5. This remote had endless possibilities...

Sure....in it’s time.

That was a controller mainly based on DLNA, when it comes to playing music i.e. from the harddrive of the BM5.

Most people got into the BS5 after it became the Spotify addition - for this the Beo6 was useless (apart from on a very basic level (skipping tracks). 

And after the Spotify support of the BS5 ended, people lost their love in that system.

The Beo6 is a remote - not a music system.

And even if the support for Spotify had continued, imagine searching for artists, albums, tracks on that tiny display ;-(

Would be nice when the Moment got a softwareupdate.

It has the option in loudspeakerconfiguration to "use tv loudspeakers". I've used that with the NL/ML convertor to drive the BV9 with its speakers.
Despite the fact that all NL devices are found in the list of NL devices in the menu, you won't find them (BV V1 for instance I have)  as possible option to choose as output for the Moment.

I find the Moment nicer and easier to handle DNLA content and other music sources than the B&O app. And I still can't part with the Moment as it is the latest Beosound.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

You can connect the Moment to the V1 and use the TV + speakers as standard with the Moment.

Make sure you have also selected the Moment as one of the two connected devices in the setup menu of the V1. Then it pops up under tv’s in the setup menu in the Moment

The moment was a train wreak. B&O is no good with modern software. I would simply use a dedicated iPad and the phone that's in everyone's pockets all the time.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried this and it works. Thank you.

Will it also work with the Eclipse and Harmony?

I've not even charged it up since the last time it ran out of battery (again), then came to terms with that. Was chatting to my dealer and realised it was...£700. For a remote, which lasts about 5 days.

Then I became a little disappointed with myself for buying it, which doesn't happen often.

On a more positive note, I've ordered the gold/marble Balance! Arrives tomorrow.

Make sure you charge it before getting any visitors after COVID-19 so you can make them unimpressed 😎

No, you can not integrate that (or any of the other NL/Beosound devices) with the Eclipse/Harmony.

No. 

If you are looking for a sound system, I can highly recommend Roon Software. Additionally a Roon Nucleus if you are looking for an "out of the box" solution.
The user interface of Roon is just awesome. It connects your local media with Hi-Res Audio streaming from Tidal and / or Qobuz. Additionally, multiroom is offered via Airplay, Chromecast, Sonos, LMS or Roon.
If you are looking for an impressive touch control (not comparable to Nativ Vita Player), you should watch the YouTube video
