Crazy idea - can a pair of beosound level last compete with beolab stereo speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2022 18:34I agree, Stan. Even the Beolit 20 has a richer, more full sound and, if you have the space, the Stage is far better. Aesthetics override performance with the Level, I think.
Price reduction on BS1 and Edge

Belkin Airplay 2 Audio Adapter- New alternative to Bluetooth for Beolit 15, 17, 20?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2021 18:30Everyone: I just came across this product in a review. I have not had the best experience using the Apple Airport Express as a streaming device because its DAC is pretty poor. While the Chromecast Audio is much better, i…

Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2021 15:43Can you let me know what the update for the A6 included? I can’t tell whether my unit received it or not. There doesn’t seem to be any material on it on the Internet.
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 15, 2021 14:10So it looks that Chromecast will no longer work for the A6 at all? The technical support department’s reply that an update’s “not possible“ doesn’t make a lot of sense. I wish they had explained it better. It only reaffi…

Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2021 05:49I am still having the same issue as well. I have just decided to keep the Chromecast audio dongle plugged in and operating. The Chromecast built-in function is so spotty that I just can’t rely on it anymore. It is frustr…
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 29, 2021 09:19Same problem with my A6. Long time that it didn’t work; suddenly it worked for a period of about 2 to 3 months and now it has gone back to not working at all. In point of fact, it doesn’t even show up on any app that I u…
Beolit 20 launched!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2020 02:40There is a cheap fix for this. I have actually talked with Leo’sgonewild about it for the A6. Just buy a Chromecast audio dongle (they are quite cheap on eBay) and it gives you fabulous streaming quality and capabilities…

Beoplay A9 can‘t connect to google home, have to be repluged to reconnect
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 17, 2020 22:48I had this very same thing happened to my A6. I started a thread on it. It turned out that, by buying a Chromecast audio dongle, it solved the problem. Bang and Olufsen just wasn’t able to figure out the problem. I had t…

Can I use a Chromecast audio with Beoplay A6?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 13, 2020 03:29Unfortunately, no. I don’t think that they’ve made the A6 for a very long time. I actually had wanted to buy a second one and couldn’t find one. (At least from the dealer.) I found a Chromecast audio online on eBay and I…
Can I use a Chromecast audio with Beoplay A6?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2020 05:27Thanks for the quick reply. The unit is hard wired directly to the mesh router (Eero Pro) and Airplay 2 works flawlessly. Can’t figure it out; if I power cycle, occasionally it works. Love Chromecast, want the functional…
Can I use a Chromecast audio with Beoplay A6?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2020 01:48I have been having a devil of a time getting the Chromecast built-in function to work on my Beoplay A6. I’ve been back-and-forth with Support for a very long time and they have eventually advised me simply to use airplay…
Why does a Chromecast audio sound so much better when streaming to Beolit 15 than an Apple Airport Express second generation?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 30, 2020 02:51I have four Beolit15s. I use them equally with Bluetooth and with streaming audio. I have tried for over a year to get a quality audio streaming signal into the 3.5 mm port from an Apple airport express and failed. I hav…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 9, 2020 15:13New question on the same topic. AirPlay two has now come out. The fidelity is a lot better and it is much more stable. How do I get an airplay two signal into my Beolit 15? Do I need to get an older Apple airport express…
