How to connect a Beoconnect Core to an Almando SoundCenter Surround

[Alfihar Aldhari]

Grettings,

Actual configuration (Beolink Multiroom + Possibility of adjusting each speaker individually which is not currently possible with a B&O device – except Beocenter4 or…. THE BSTH):

Beosound Core (With Rega P3 connected) – Toslink – Almando SoundCenter Surround – BL11 + BL3 (Front L+R) +  BL3 (Rear L+R)

Expected configuration (Beolink Multiroom + Possibility of adjusting each speaker individually which is not currently possible with a B&O device – except Beocenter4 or…. THE BSTH + Mozart):

Beoconnect Core (With Rega P3 connected) – ?????? – Almando SoundCenter Surround – BL11 + BL3 (Front L+R) +  BL3 (Rear L+R)

As there is (unfortunately) no more Toslink on the Beoconnect Core, to connect it to the Almando SoundCenter Surround, is it possible/preferable to use :

1. Hdmi port of the Beoconnect Core – Hdmi cable – Hdmi port of the Almando SCS ?
2. Usb-c port of the Beoconnect Core – Usb-C/Toslink converter – Toslink of the Almando SCS ? If yes… Do you know a good converter ?
3. Usb-c port of the Beoconnect Core – ?????? – ?????? of the Almando SCS ?
4. Powerlink RJ of the Beoconnect Core – Powerlink RJ to Powerlink DIN cable – Powerlink DIN of the Almando SCS (I’ve tried with the existing Beosound Core… but the sound is far less better than with the Toslink… Maybe a question of setting on the core but I’ve not found how to set “line” for “speakers connected”…

Thank you in advance for your help, your possible solutions and I apologize for my imperfect English… I’m French and no longer have the opportunity to practice Shakespeare’s language on a regular basis…

Best regards
