Since the USB on the BM5 can only be used for the external soundcard/the Behringer, you will have to use the analog L/R input for connecting the WiiM via the L/R output there.

To my knowledge there is no way to connect directly via the USB.
However, I did not try it – nor have I heard anyone else do that.
Why not try it yourself and report back here.

 

P.S.

What is wrong with using the L/R’s for connecting the WiiM/what are your concerns there?

Try one of these.

Two are for in and 2 are for out.
You only need a 5-pin plug.

The one that you have tried probably only allows for outcoming signals from the Century…..due to how the DIN plug is made.

The short answer is: yes!

But there is no need to buy one with the ‘joystick’.

I do not think that a registration from abroad should be a problem.

Just try it, and you will find out!

However, not every seller is willing to ship out of Denmark.

You could start reading this – especially the section on NetworkLink:

Hi Stan – good move 😉

Sure it can, but that gives us only ‘double stereo’.

What most people are waiting for is, that it may function as a Digital PowerLink <u>receiver</u>, though.

Thank you for pointing to this great tutorial ✔️

Toggling between modes on the BROne/bt is a pia….
….not much WAF in that.

“BLC (NL/ML converter) between the Core and the BV6”.
That is exactly what the converter is/was made for – for bridging between old and new Beolink….in order to make controlling simple.
The only thing to consider there is, that the BLC needs a wired network connection!

Another option would be to push a little further to get the wife to accept a BV11-40….
…..I am sure that in the end she will be happy with that 🤗

No, this is not the way the BL8000 are supposed to work.

It is either or!

There is even a physical switch for choosing the input.
So, no automatic switching there.

This said…..
……if you want to connect both, you will have to manually connect/switch between the two connections.

P.S.  The newer BL speakers have this ability of auto switching in a prioritized sequenze.

P.P.S.

There are a couple of companies, that make powerlink switch boxes.
A ‘google search’ will tell you more.

I have a 6.57689 version on all my ASE products – but that is from back in October.
They are on automatic updating.
Most are hardwired, some on wifi.

I am not aware that there should be any later SW.

By the way….they all run flawless.

A tip…when they won’t update – please restart pulling the mains.
Then wait until they are online again.

I do respect the commitment that people have to these speakers 😁

I would not call this ‘a hack’….it is simply a description of how to use a (B&O) speaker, that had an external amplifier module, which failed.

Back in the yesteryears I did that with my 5000’s – I used a Beolink Passive to power them.

Some might still know that Peter Pan was a huge proponent for the Pentas.
He had a pair connected to an ICEPower module for many years (he even had a spare set i the basement….just in case).
