in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 12, 2020 10:37[quote user="ToeKneeAus"] There certainly is a simplicity to the GX - but for a TV that is going onto an older BV7-40 stand (and likely never on a wall) - im still in two minds whether to go for the CX with the really th…

Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2019 09:00[quote user="Millemissen"] There is no ‘ordinary’ DAC in the BL5’s. The audio processing is done within a DSP solution, that works with 32-bit floating point 180 MFLOPS, (512k byte Flash-ROM). You can get a good overview…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 4, 2019 20:28I think consensus on streaming transports is that they affect sound quality. I appreciate that whether they matter enough to justify a certain investment, of course is subjective to a large degree. I am predominantly loo…
Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 1, 2019 20:43Any thoughts? for streaming transports I am looking along the lines of Auralic Aries G1, Bricasti M5, Lumin D2. Curious to hear to what extent the Beolab 5’s DACs can benefit from such streaming transports.

Some questions on Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · May 24, 2018 15:34[quote user="Putzgrilous"] If you have now an "old" main chassi, then probably you have speakers running different firmware versions. The newer one blinks the led on volume changes, the old one doesn't. (?) When you turn…

Some questions on Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · May 21, 2018 15:56Putzgrilous, thanks for all you input and photos. Your speaker appears to be the same as my 'green' one in terms of the microphone cabling. I acquired a Beo4 and got the speakers working. They sound great! I've noted tha…

Some questions on Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · May 20, 2018 21:41David, thanks so much. Would you say it is odd that the swapped part is actually an older part and in poorer condition? Let me illustrate what I mean some more: Here you find the 'right' speaker (highlighted in green), w…
Can Beolab 5 be controlled by a Logitech Harmony remote
in General Discussion & Questions · May 20, 2018 14:01I just tried to control a set of BL5 with the Harmony, but no luck yet. Do they need to be set again in option 1 (using the beo4 remote) if they have been powered off? If I add the Beolab 5 as device, my logitech remote …

Some questions on Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · May 10, 2018 19:52[quote user="Putzgrilous"] The IR is not very sensitive in the BL5. On my setup I decided that BL5 are activated by the Harmony remote itself instead of the blasters. To be assured that both speakers are always at the sa…
