[quote user="moxxey"] ie. the Beosound 5 can only pull in audio from a Windows formatted drive? [/quote] That only applies to HD connected directly by USB. Also Macs can perfectly read and write FAT32 formated USB HD, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately I think the whole concept of Beosound 5 and Encore is flawed. You shouldn't have to stand up and use close-up operation to choose your music. B&O was the first to introduce music systems with remote controls or, even better, control panels. The navigation should be on the remote. BeoMaster 5 + Beo6 should be the combo. However

[quote user="Carolpa"]It would also mean that the lossless files would take advantage of the BS5 DAC rather than having to connect via an analogue connection from Airport Express and having to use the DAC of the Express which will severely dent the quality of the lossless source being played.[/quote] Just for info, the Airport express also

I have just installed Lion to be able to test the new version of LinkPlayer. LinkPlayer isn't an iTunes plug in, so it shouldn't be impacted by the new version of iTunes. If you do have LinkPlayer on a standalong Mac (Media Center), then I think there is no goo reason to upgrade to Lion, as it wouldn't bring much, and would remove FrontRow

For those who want Airport, simply plug an Airport Express into the Audio AUX IN of the Encore. But I agree, it would be goog if it were built in the BS5, BS5 Encore and BS8.

Thanks!
