    Is it possible to connect a Beosound 3000 or Ouverture and play a cd to a HomePod mini wirelessly via wi-fi ?

    [More complicated, but just to be thorough:] Possible by interposing an Apple computer inbetween.  Only Apple brand devices can *send* AirPlay, even though they license lots of speakers to *receive*.  So you could, if you were willing to dedicate (and hide!) an old Mac Mini with recording software and output its โ€œstage monitorโ€ to system audio output, which, in the latest releases, can be selected to be any AirPlay speaker.  (Or buy rogueamoeba.com Loopback or AirFoil?) I suppose the same could be done with an iPad or even an old iPod Touch, if you could find the right utility.  A lot of hardware, just to avoid โ€œnoโ€.

    Thanks for your answer ??
    i think i could buy an Emerge and a bluetooth adapter and send the music like this.

    OK for that guys?

    The Wiim Mini will receive audio from its Aux-In/Line-In port (you can make that input port be either one from the Wiim Mini app).

    The Wiim Mini can be set to transmit any audio it receives from that In-port to a paired bluetooth device.  It can also be set to be automatic, so if sound is detected from the In-port it will immediately start transmitting to bluetooth.

    However, I would not recommend this solution.  It is well known that bluetooth is a bandwidth and data-rate limited protocol.  Your audio will be degraded from its original CD quality.

    A better solution to integrate with an Emerge would be to run a stereo audio cable from the BS3000 or Ouverture to the Emerge.

    Thanks Xavier,
    The bluetooth solution is because the Beosound and the speaker canโ€™t be in the same place.

    Itโ€™s a project but if the BS 9000 is in another league, the BS 3000 or Ouverture is B&O essence, and I miss my Beosound 3000 (with large clamper).
    So Iโ€™d like to buy a BS with small clamper, more B&O magic

    Maybe another option, more costly than BT but full B&O:

    BS 3000 / Ouverture connected to a 2nd hand Beoplay M3, maybe hidden in a cupboard or a cabinet, volume set to 0.

    Then wireless connection via Multiroom to another Multiroom-enabled speaker (Emerge, M3, M5 etc.), placed wherever you want.

    Much higher quality than BT via Wi-Fi.

    Not my recipe, few others have walked that path in this forum, mostly with turntables instead of CD players / sound systems.

    Regards.

    Not bad at all, thanks for the recipe Olivier.
