Beoab 6000 line in issue

Hi, I have connected my good old Beolab 6000 to a Cambridge Audio CXN streamer via de line out RCA outputs. Works fine when playing music; but when the streamer is in standby the speakers make a humming sound. This also causes the speakers to be not reliable for turning into stand; when in standby, the speakers turn on occasionally and make the same humming sound. Any ideas what could cause this? And if so, what a good fix might be? Thx! Dennis

Re: Beosound Core or DAC for Beolab 9

Hi, I took quite some time to compare different options and I feel that a Streamer/DAC makes a big difference in sound quality compared to the option using an iPad. Good options to consider without spending too much money are the Node 2i or, a bit more pricey but also money well spend, the Cambridge Audio CXN V2. A beosound core will also work great I expect (but I did not test myself), but I think this will only give the best performance if you will switch to Deezer which is natively supported.

Re: Use BL5 digital input for streamer

thx for the reply; this is also my concern; I would loose a bit of the B&O luxury of 1 integrated setup with 1 remote and user friendly. At the same time I think the sound quality of the Beolab 5 is better when using the digital input. Any other ideas how I could incorperate a "high end" streamer in my setup?

Re: Use BL5 digital input for streamer

[quote user="kimchr"] I experienced the same auto-off issue with a beosound Overture. In the end I abandonded the idea. It was too much hazzle. Today i only use my B&O for tv/movie watching while i have a hifi system in another room for music listening. Sad to say. [/quote] This is another idea I am considering; I could move my Beolab 9 to the front; get some other rear speakers (beoplab 3?) and move my Beolab 5 to another room and dedicate this as a music setup. But I feel this is

Re: Use BL5 digital input for streamer

[quote user="Millemissen"] Personally I would not make much fuzz about this. Connect the dig-out of the streamer to the digital/analog combi port of the Eclipse and make a Speakers Group with the 2 BL5’s as L/R (connected via PL) for that. I know that you are convinced that the BL5’s ‘sounds better’ when using the digital connection. It might be that the audio processing in the Sound Center does a better job even with the BL5’s connected via PL, than you would

Use BL5 digital input for streamer

Hi all, I would like to get your thoughts on the following: - Current setup: Currently I have a setup with a beovision eclipse, 2xBL5 front and 2xBL9 rear. Furthermore I have a Beosound 9000 connected. I use of the digital out of the Beosound 9000 for CD playback; to do this I have powerlink switchbox connected to assure the BL5 receive the CD signal to open up the digital connection. I am very happy with this setup; watching tv or movies is giving the advantage of proper surround sound and playing

Re: Bang & Olufsen terminates every ten employees.

Very sad indeed. An expected sales decrease of 20-29% is also quite alarming

Re: Use BL5 digital input for streamer

Thx for your reply; My understanding: If I turn on the Beosound 9000; I would be able to control the volume of the Beolab 5 similar to using the Beosound itself (this signal would be send over the blink connection). Correct?.
