You don’t even need the app. I personally don’t use the app so often, including for Multiroom operations.

I have a different approach,  I use the apps all the tme (mostly the Beoliving app (or the Halo))

It can for technical reasons not be done with e.g. Tidal, Qobuz… (they don’t allow for redistribution this way…..it is not a choice that B&O has made).

A contradiction! It can be done, but they don't (seem to) allow it.

Still with the use of Audirvana, Tidal as well as Qobuz can be NL multiroom distributed.

You are right…I know.

But that is rather advanced, when one is just trying to explain the difference between AirPlay and NL.

Not sure if thats correct - a Linn system used with a TV can borrow audio playing in another Linn room.

Yes, not with the Linn. remote. It requires using the app.

But generally the idea that sharing different sources to different rooms using one app is just a B&O thing is wrong.

Not sure if this correct - Naim devices can share (for example) line-in input sources to other Naim devices.

Linn devices do this too.

And I'm pretty sure Sonos speakers offer the same.

I believe the Mozart platform is not capable of this yet

 

But they can’t share - like in my setup - to my BV’s with just a push on Join on the Beoremote 😉

I don't know the Linn system capabilities, but can it f.e. play source A in the kitchen and study and play source B in the living and garden at the same time?

Yes it can - and I believe Naim, Sonos can do similarly.

Just to extend this I use the app to play different songs from Deezer in different rooms

I can understand that, you are not using the regular App so much 🙂

So you either anticipate a move to another room or you carry your smartphone, tablet or Halo with you all the time. I don’t, wherever B&O sound room I go, I don’t carry any remote, I just use the B&O product control

Going back, I don’t feel there was any progress since the essence and the wall remotes. That to me was the last real good concept I saw coming out of BO. Maybe this is why I am so frustrated with the Balance because it doesnt support any pf that.

 

I dont want to get up to adjust the volume of my speaker. I dont want a 10 second app load delay and 3 taps on my phone to djust the volume when the phone rings.

I wish Spotify and Apple Music would cre a bit more how we consume music and let third parties implement more advanced controls.

There is so much clever stuff they could do.
