BeoLit 12 is in the shops! Initial impressions?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2012 09:09Have the stores gotten demo units to display and for custimers to try out in addition to sellable stock? I may very well buy one, but want to hear it first. Have been hoping that my local store here in Atlanta would get …
BS5 Encore Tech Question - MOTS on NAS Content
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 15, 2012 18:15Thanks to all for the help. That makes sense and explains my answer. It's good that it works that way, though I wonder how long it would take the system to analyze over 8300 albums. :) Jeff
BS5 Encore Tech Question - MOTS on NAS Content
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 15, 2012 14:04Hi all, I was speaking with my local dealer the other day and think I may have been misinformed (or they may have misunderstood what I was asking). I was told that MOTS analysis can be used on a BS5 Encore when connected…
DAC music streamers.
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2011 07:36Hi Sandy, While only your own ears can tell you if the result is an improvement, I think the chances of you having success with a USB DAC vs the analog mini jack are pretty high. Computer internals are often very noisy e…
So maybe now they'll support ALAC...
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 27, 2011 20:37http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/27/apples-lossless-audio-codec-alac-now-open-source/ That would seem to cover the main argument against doing so, right? Jeff
New B&O earphones for iPhone
in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2011 13:47I think the Apple stores used to sell the A8 and maybe even the EarSet 2 but I haven't seen those around in the store in a while. I wonder if the 3i will make it in to join the BL4 and BS8 (US store)... Jeff
The BeoSound 8 - Live Review!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2010 12:13I'm very interested in taking a listen to the product and I'm trying not to go in with a pre-conceived notion of what I'm going to hear. Of course, for anyone that likes to test listen to lots of different speakers, it's…

Beosound 8: Let´s talk about AIRPLAY!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2010 07:53Realistically, after Apple's announcement, any product in a category where other models offer AirPlay is going to have the same problem. Even the preferred partners like iHome and B&W who have committed to AirPlay compat…

BeoSound 5 Bang&Olufsen's big mistake?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2009 21:38I honestly think that the product is a step in the direction of where the world is moving, but is not the step I would have taken. While not a fan of the interface type, I can see why there would be desire to go this rou…
Bad Salesmanship - Not doing BS5 any favors
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jul 21, 2009 17:02So, I've posted here before regarding my reservations about the BS5. It's not that I think it's a bad piece of hardware, it just isn't my preferred choice, especially in comparison to other systems out there. For some fo…

Missing basic elements that narrow the window of BS5's appeal
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Nov 25, 2008 23:09Thanks to all for the comments. I tried to be fair about this, even going so far as to ponder whether there was a valid #5 to round out the list and then deciding that there wasn't another one that jumped out at me like …
