Hello perhaps I do not understand your “problem” but I think it is really easy. I assume your recorded CD’s are in your iTunes account. In this case you can just connect your iTunes account with the B&O app. In case you have the CD’s not in your iTunes account, just install a DLNA server (like plex). Now you can add this DLNA server in your B&O app. Both solutions work like a charm on by Beosound 28 (an other B&O sound systems)

Thought Police is using Audirvana.
Audirvana is in itself a Music server already.
But despite my calls to try to use Audirvana as a DLNA streamer and the Audirvana app as DLNA controller, he seams to get stuck in his own thoughts that he must Airplay to the BL28.

note: my reply to his post from April 5, 2022 at 8:39 pm has never appeared on the forum (to his excuse)

So, I can then use Audirvana as the source for the music.

Did you ever try using the Audirvana remote app to control your collection and/or Qobuz/Tidal music? You should try.

If the BL28 and your Mac mini or Laptop are on the same network, you are able to stream directly to the BL28 (just a case of right the settings, maybe some trail and error, but the BL28 must be set as output)

To me the Beosound Shape is the most appealing B&o design in their portfolio.

It has a hugh WOW factor, sounds great and most new visitors do not understand what it is (for). The concept is so far off everything else in the audio business.

Do you use Audirvana Studio or Audirvana 3.5?

note: both can stream directly to the BL28.

And you can change the stream-to-device in the Audirvana remote app also. So you do not have to change the setting in your Mac every time.

Note: you can stream from Audirvana to your Beolab 28 directly also.

Just set the BL28 as output.

you need:

1. Beoliving blackbox + sw upgrade to Pro (see website of Khimo)
2. Halo (of course)

this will open doors to extended home automation

for the interested………
I got similar Macros for Link/Join devices and for setting devices to Standby.

Let it know and I will make them accessible.

You didn’t setup your network correctly, I would say.
I have an access point and the router itself. Both Wifi senders/receivers are on. Both have a different name. But both are with all B&o devices in the same subnetwork. All must be in the same (sub)network to work correctly.

If I connect my iPhone to the AP or to the Router, the accessibility to all B&o devices stay the same.

Did you create different subnetworks one for every AP?
