I went back into settings and next to the line message, what I thought was just an indicator, was in reality a box I could check. Checking that box did disable the volume feature of the app as well. That would appear to be the correct way. Thanks. But if the box is not checked, then the app can control the volume, although turning up too high in the app does seem to affect sound quality.

Thank you again for directing me to the right/better setting.

When I receive the Beosound essence, I will say to you how I configured it.

Thanks all

I was using my Essence as "master" with a BS Ouverture, i.e. as main gear, BLs plugged in it, Ouverture plugged in the Essence Line in.

I think it depends on your way to use your equipment...

If you're mainly listening to networked sources (internet radios, NAS) it's better like this (you don't have to turn on other equipment).

If you're mainly using your BS4 (CD), then plug the Essence in the Line in of the BS4, not the contrary.

The sound quality may not be that different (it's simple to check this point by a trial).

Sure that would be a(nother) way to use it.

Since I still have a couple of masterlinked rooms (and even a MCL-room), I choose to do it the other way 'round.

That way I have the sources of the Essence available in all rooms...

....including in the room with my new (second) tv, the V1-32 (without having to use the converter).

The Essence is a very 'flexible' device - fits in everywhere ;-))

Hi everyone...as per my experience one way you could do it, is to use the PowerLink-out (you'll need an adapter cable) to connect the Essence-box to the Aux-input of your BS4.The Essence will have to be configured as 'fixed line-out' and you won't be able to use the 'wheely-remote' for volume controlling! This will have to be done with the BS4. The Essence has a line-in connection, which has autosense.
