BeoSound 5c - Open source revival of B&O's BeoSound 5
in BeoSound · Oct 28, 2026 21:27I think buying a BeoMaster 5 off eBay is the easiest option. You may even try your luck with one that is marked as untested or broken, as it is mostly the motherboard or the HDD that breaks on them. With the BS5c, you ne…
BeoSound 5c - Open source revival of B&O's BeoSound 5
in BeoSound · Oct 21, 2026 02:19I think most people just chunk away the BM5 and hide it somewhere, so the size doesn’t matter so much. You can always get longer cables if distance is an issue. Back in the days B&O even made an extender solution also ov…

in BeoSound · Oct 17, 2026 13:20The description on Amazon is not clear, it says input as both 230V AND (!) 24V and output 12V. I suspect that it may instead be 230V input and 12 V AND 24V output. If that's the case, you may en up burning the IR circuit…
Masterlink gateway beosound 9000 issue
in BeoSound · Oct 14, 2026 09:30Hi, I suspect something's off with ML rather than settings. Can you test BS9000 to another link unit - e.g., Beolab 2000, 3500, or a PC2 Office. Just to confirm ML is working from the BS9000? Possibly MLGW to another aud…
Beomaster5 map Music is "read only".
in Dutch · Oct 14, 2026 08:54The Music folder on the BM5 is meant to be writable. That’s how BeoConnect adds music. The "Read-only" box doesn't matter. However, The share is hidden. It won’t appear under Network. In File Explorer, choose Map network…

in BeoSound · Sept 30, 2026 17:16Hi, With the original BS5, you can use a USB adapter to get RCA in. And on the RCA you can connect a Bluetooth adapter. And you can obviously connect it in the other direction from the BS5 as the output and to a bluetoot…

in BeoSound · Aug 25, 2026 16:23Hi, I played with the idea of repurposing an Encore as well. Actually thought I bought one, but when I got it - it turned out that the seller was mistaken and that it was a BeoSound + BeoMaster 5. So, never tried. Howeve…

in BeoSound · Aug 18, 2026 19:20Some users have reported success in their setup both as master and N RADIO/MUSIC provider but I don’t remember if I have heard somebody using it as a ML Slave. The only tests with links I’ve done myself is with the BS5c …

in BeoSound · Aug 12, 2026 21:18Jellyfin is possibly quite easy to add. Let me know if you have will do a BS5 build and I’ll try to add it for you. Two options if you don’t have the BeoMaster. Either use a network streamer for the audio output. Or do a…

BeoSound 5c - Open source revival of B&O's BeoSound 5
in BeoSound · Jul 4, 2026 15:05BeoSound 5 Encore is actually another platform altogether. It would require some changes - most notably I imagine it would require converting the UI to a native app. The CPU and GPU on the Encore is not powerful enough t…
