DoubleU: So you think you get better quality, by using 3 converters? 1 converter from the Express (ADC), 1 convertor from optical to coaxial, 1 convertor from the BS3 (DAC) Just feed the analogue signal, like Coolskin suggested, and your done! Cheap, simple and the best solution, if you ask me. I'm afraid you've been confused by the input here

The Airport Express has optical digital Toslink OUT through the minijack. You really should get a converter of the kind shown above, which will convert the optical s/pdif from the Airport Express to a coax s/pdif which you can connect to one of the digital RCA IN plugs on your BV7 MK III. You will then get full quality transfer of your audio files,

martin01: Hi, I have a brand new BV7-40 Mark III (Full-HD). I have bought a Panasonic BMP-BD10A blu-ray player. When I look at blu-ray movies at 1080p (full-HD picture) the camera-movements i sometimes a bit jerky. I have tried other blu-ray players with the same result. When I look at DVD movies, the movements i soft and very good. Mayby the pictureprocessor

jazz: i thought i'd do a quick test to see just how BeoLab 5's perform in regards to word length, so i went and bought the sound track to mary poppins. My BL5's had no trouble with Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Funny! To ungeek a bit. A word in computing and in digital media is a group of bits that are handled together by the processing

linder: I considered the iPhone calculator as a homage to Dieter Rams. Mr Rams did not influence the design of the iPhone. He-he. I don't think anyone has said Mr Rams designed the iPhone, the discussion there relates to the UI of the calculator pad. At any rate, what we're also looking at is the fact that certain functions/uses lend themselves

AT: soundproof: Look at the buttons on the keypad of the calculator -- the iPhone simulates buttons, and it's obvious that the inspiration is the buttons from the Braun calculator. Same shape, colour scheme, and annotation, with some slight adjustments to accommodate for today's keypads. (Click the picture to enlarge it.) I think, You wish to

Just have to add something on a tangent here: was once speaking with a B&O dealer about Master/Slave functionality and how to set it up. My girlfriend was with me, and was just barely overhearing the conversation. When we left the store she wondered why I was discussing sex with a stranger. No inferences, please!

AT: I think, the iPod is really the same design, but I beg Your pardon - the rest is absolutely not, IMHO. Just for example, I can't even find any "it's the same" feeling about the calculators, for example, because they are totally different - IMHO again ;) Look at the buttons on the keypad of the calculator -- the iPhone simulates

And here's Braun's calculator applied to the iPhone's calculator ...

Just caught this over at Gizmodo, an interesting comparison between the designs of Dieter Rams who worked for Braun, and those of Jonathan Ive, Apple's avowed design genius. One wonders whether the genius label doesn't belong to Rams ... http://gizmodo.com/343641/1960s-braun-products-hold-the-secrets-to-apples-future There are lots of examples
