Bring Beolab Penta into digital world
The penta are actually version 2 - not 1.
hi
I really dont know but maybe https://soundsheavenly.com/  can help out ?
Hi,
This is the streamer that Jeff mentioned: link
This plugs directly into your Penta 2 speakers via a normal 8 pin Powerlink cable:

Still quite enjoying the little TIBO box Steve. Amazing to find a third party device like this that actually has a Powerlink output. I've tried both BT and wifi streaming and it just works. Turns the speakers on a couple of sec after I start a stream to them, turns them off a couple of min after I stop. Simple, no muss, no fuss.
Nice to find a product that just works without hair pulling.
Hi Steve
This TIBO streaming box. I have the Chromecast audio. Will I be able to cast music from Youtibe / YT music app and the other apps that where I use the Chromecast icon ?
So really no need for Chromecast audio if I have this TIBO streaming box ?
Can I connect it to AUX in my Beosound 9000 or should I connect them direct to the Beolab 4500 that I have ?
Thanks

PS: I have set my beolab 4500 and BS 9000 up woth your cables , sound very googd. I have returned the extra parcel that I got , the one from France you know , I hope you get it soon )
Hi Anders,
Yes, this device can replace the Chromecast to stream for any app where you currently use the Chromecast, via bluetooth, plus it will stream via wi-fi using supported apps such as Spotify.
If you have the Beosound 9000 connected then please link the streamer to this, otherwise it can work directly to the speakers in a room where you don't have a Beosound.
I will let you know by email as soon as the parcel arrives, thanks for returning this 🤒
Kind regards, Steve.

Great discussions. Thanks everyone.
steve from sound heavenly also suggested in PM a cable to link the bluesound to the penta.
So I now have 2 choices the little streamer from Steve or the bluesound node 2i, which is more expensive. Any insight on the potential sound quality for both?

So, I decided to go with the node 2i.
main reason is Qobuz integration, and full WiFi connect of the streamer.
hope it will work !
will report back after christmas
