Reply To: BeoSound 5c – Open source revival of B&O’s BeoSound 5

It works without a BM5 too if you want actually. There’s three parts that makes sense reusing from the BM5, but it is flexible

• Power supply. Without this you need a stable 12V supply and set up the right cable to the BS5 (so it’s easier to just reuse it from the BM5)
• Daughtercard (that sits on top inside the BM5). Without this IR won’t work. I’m not using MasterLink myself, but that would be possible to make work
• The box. To keep it tidy

General failures on the BS5/BM5 has been, to the best of my knowledge the HDDs and the motherboard. None of which that are reused. So hopefully this can revive a few dead units.
