Llewelyn: I heard Bosscom have gone bust and made to destroy all their stock due to a copyright lawsuit so I think you may struggle to buy from them now. Their online shop is still open ?!?

Alex: I don't see why I would want to download an album when I can buy it for the same price or thereabouts and get a physical copy which is sonically superior. It is about choice. many people are moving to dematerialised music. B&O would be ridiculed if it did not address people's new needs. I am not saying they should stop making CD players

Downloading MP3s off the internet, naughty boy! Well, then instead of putting them on a USB stick, you have a program on your PC that transfer them wirelessly to your BM5. Et voila!

A BluRay device would only make sense with a HDMI connection of course. Scart might still be there for unencrypted (recordable) SD, and AVL and multi room distribution.

Yes as it would be based on the same platform as the new BV7-32, I think. p.

Like Dave, I would recommand that you link the two together. You need a Beolink converter and a masterlink cable as well as a datalink cable, and a fully cabled powerlink cable.
