Mine has now departed back to the dealer, who kindly refunded me. In a way I kind of miss it, there was a lot to like about it, and a lot that frustrated the life out of me. 

The good

sound

solid internet connection

easy to turn on/off

nice layout of operating system

wood

the not so good

angular design

plastic cheap feel

B&O app

screen would flicker on turn off

I feel relieved mine has gone, but at the same time I do believe it was a faulty unit. Does anybody else get a flickering screen when the screen automatically turns off? The app drove me mad, in that it doesn't automatically rotate from portrait into landscape. It would also only show me half a keyboard (on Deezer) which rendered it useless. In the last couple of days I used the B&O tablet which made things so much better, particularly after this weeks software update. 

I also have a flickering screen when put in stand-by. Normale i have the wood Side on top so i cannot see it.

overall I am happy with the unit which replaced the encore.

plus

- wireless connection with the beolab 18

- tablet so I can choose my music from the bench

- after some cleaning up in my nas all art cover is there

- after the update the unit is better and quicker

negative

- app is kind of basic

- search music from my nas only with one letter

- no information about interaction with the nas ( example adding and removing tracks

Mine neither

It's nearly six months on from my initial purchase, and I love my Moment now more than ever...

I've been following this thread daily, and I truly sympathise with the trials and tribulations that many of those with more complex setups than I have been through, and I can also fully understand the points of view of it's detractors. My own set-up is just the Moment with  a pair of BL18s connected wirelessly, and using Deezer as my source.  I had initially hoped to use my Library of ripped CDs on my Macbook Pro as my primary source, and initially went down the Twonky route -  but naively I hadn't considered the problem of what happens when my Macbook was elsewhere, which  - happily as it turns out - forced me to look to Deezer.

Deezer via the Moment has been a revelation to me, and I've not only rediscovered many oldies from my youth, but it has opened up a whole new world of new music to me.  I (and more importantly my partner...), find the jukebox actually really simple to use - there's basically only a handful of taps or swipes needed to access our collection of hundreds of artists and thousands of albums.  Now there always seems to be music playing in the house - not something I could say even with all the iTunes and Airplay options we've had available to us in the past decade... it just seemed like too much effort sometimes, but not now.  I've also found that a lot of my ripped 80's and 90's CDs have since been 'remastered', and I suspect that the streamed versions of these - via Deezer - probably sound better than my original CDs ripped to iTunes anyway... 

Personally I really like the current Moment/'WiSA Product' Aesthetic, and any visitor to our home who has seen/heard the Moment/BL18s in action has been mightily impressed.  I do think the new products are a bit pricey, but they do feel substantial and to me have proven their worth so far.  The support of my local dealer has also massively enhanced my experience, and their willing support has justified a large part of the 'luxury' price-tag. 

There has been a side-effect though; since buying the  Moment 6 months ago, I've got the Beovirus bad - I've since bought a BV 7-40, BV7 -32,  Beosound 3000, Beocenter 9500, four pairs of BL 6000s, two pairs BL 8000s, BL 4000s, a BL 3500, BL 4s ,a Playmaker, a BS 3, and I'm currently coveting a BS 9000 and a Beosystem 7000 (in white of course!).  I'll shortly be undertaking a major home-move, and I expect I'll go for an Avant 75, BL 17/19s, and a whole assortment of NL/ML boxes to connect everything together; all of this comes off the back of a Moment demonstration one afternoon in March.  Of course, I've had a few minor hiccups, but all I can say is - Long Live B&O!
