Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your explanations.

I may have been unclear in my post, so here are some more details:

1:  In my mind, best quality is seen on the technical side and means to minimize conversions/filterings made on the signal path and have the necessary ones done by the most efficient product of the setup (BL50).

2: My project is to have a sort of 2 in one system: one for TV and casual listening through the Theatre/BL50 combination and one for “active listening” using the best quality defined hereunder.

3: Music files are stored in a QNAP NAS connected to a router dedicated to A/V (as recommended by B&O when I bought a Moment) with Core, Eclipse, NL/ML converter, all wired.

In the 4 options you mentioned, the second seems to be the most adapted but unfortunately the Core is limited to the 24/96 bitrate, when BL50 supports 24/192.

I agree, this is a personal “snakeoil” approach but I like to use the maximum of what a product can offer.

I totally agree with you when it comes to wired connections vs Wifi. I plan to connect the master BL50 through Ethernet and use DPL to link master to slave.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hello Geoff,

Thanks for your explanations.

I’m waiting for delivery of Theatre and BL50 to replace my Eclipse + BL.

My setup also include a BS Core and a NL/ML converter connected to ML products.

I’m wondering what would be the way to connect the products in order to have the best quality when listening to music.

May you give me your advice on the alternatives shown below:

1 – Core to BL 50 via optical (Limited to 24/96 birate)

2 – Core to BL50 via Digital Power Link hoping it can support 24/192 bitrate (there is one DPL socket on the Core and 2 on the master BL50),

3 – NAS to BL50 via Ethernet.

A side question: What would be the best way for calibration:  run BL50 first then Theater or run Theatre first then BL50?

Thanks and kind regards,

Yann

Hi Beoworlders,

Today was for me “a storm in a skull” as the decision had to be made.

Spent the afternoon comparing specifications, connections, possibilities.

Finally, I watched several very interesting videos from Geoff on B&O’s website…

And ordered BL50!

Thanks for your help and wise advices, I’ll keep you posted when my new setup will be delivered.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Sandyb and MM,

I will keep the 8000 as rear and the new speakers as front, it’s more convenient for music listening when sitting in the couch.

Hi MM,

My idea is to keep the BL8000 as rear and put the new speakers as front.

The room is 30 square meters: 4,5 meters wide and 6,5 meters long.

TV and front speakers are alone on a narrow side and rear speakers at around 3,5 meters from the screen.

Thanks to both of you.

I decided to change my setup because my BL5 fail on a regular 2 years basis.

One of them failed again and the electronics are gone on holidays in Denmark since March….

I’ve chosen fabric as my furniture is black lackered and wooden slats would break the harmony.

So for the time being and different reasons, 28 hold the match.

Let’s see the other Beoworlder’s arguments.

Regards,

Yann.

Hi,

According to B&O website, Contour is a stand-alone TV.

The Connectivity list does not mention Speaker outputs, nor Wisa.

IMHO this TV does not meet you wish.

No way on a NAS too?

I have a QNAP model with the latest QTS.

Hi,

Very interesting video, thank you Hiort.

If I welll understand, Home Assistant needs an always-on computer or NAS.

Is there a solution to add Home assistant in an Apple TV?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Thanks Stan,

What you describe is what I experience with my Eclipse, mine is also on it’s second screen.

So for the time being, Theater wins.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi,

According to the B&O website, BR1 can be paired with Emerge.

Check this:
