BS5 Encore/BEO6 or Playmaker/Ipod

Hackel,

thanks - how do you connect your S3 to the B5 ? I am afraid that if you use the aux it will not be processed through the internal DAC in B5 or ?

Hi mbee, sorry I dont have it ! will see if I can get a hold of it.

Hi Spuns,

I contacted my dealer about this new soft, and he wasn't aware of it... He phoned B&O in Denmark and they confirmed that there is no 2-way software available for the Encore... 

So : I think that you have a BS5 and not an Encore!

Hi Mbee,

the reason why I thought that 2-way communication was now possible was that I saw the encore and the beo6 on the web each of them showing the same album art, link:

I wrote B&O and they confirmed that 2-way communication was now possible with the Encore. I talked to my dealer here in Copenhagen, who also contacted B&O who said it was not possible...

I have been waiting for a final answer from them as they have been more or less on holiday for the past month - I called them today and as soon as they revert I will let you know.

thanks, Jesper (as confused as you are I guess)

 

 

 

the picture of the Encore and the BEO6 has now been removed from the B&O website after being there for a couple of months - might be that B&O is reading this thread...
