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

Thanks for the kind words. Masterlink is supported in the latest version that I published a few weeks ago. It is supported both as a N MUSIC provider to your existing link system, and as an audio master. It is experimental, and I have only tested it in a limited setup with a BeoLab 2000 as I don’t have a masterlink system set up anymore.

My favorite feature is though that the system now automatically streams music videos based on the song played. Works regardless if you’re playing the song from the built in HDD/SSD, from Spotify, from Tidal or somewhere else. And regardless if you then play the music on PowerLink speakers connected, Sonos or BluOS.

Your milage may vary, and just ping me in GitHub if you decide to try it out and if you run into any trouble – https://beosound5c.com/

WOW ! This is amazing – Would the same be possible on a Beosound 5 Encore , I have one that is not working ( It powers up goes to Power Save On/Off ) and upon selecting Country goes Back to the Power Save Loop . I would love to do this if you could guide me .

It’s a fantastic project. That’s why I bought a Beosound 5 and Beomaster 5 in non-working condition, intending to convert them into a 5C. So far, I’ve managed to get the Beomaster 5 up and running. But now that I see these new developments, I think I’ll definitely go ahead and convert it into a Beosound 5C.

BeoSound 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 to run the UI as it stands now.

Appreciate the interest. Just ping me on https://github.com/mkirsten/beosound5c/ in case you have issues where I could help

What a wonderful project and reuse of the BeoSound 5!

I wondered if its possible to also start music streams from ASE products like a Core or Essence?  I think I understand this currently does similar, but to the Sonos/BluOS devices currently?
