RussR: 10%, those of us in the US hate you just a little bit...you'll be in possession of your BS-5 before demo units have even appeared in our shops. . The East. Not just a continent of cheap food, MSG and happy-endings! . Seriously though, may not happen. I think that the price is pretty eye-watering and I'm having a bun-fight with my dealer

moxxey: 21st of Jan? I was told it wouldn't be available to buy/ship until March and that was from a B&O UK guy who was at my local dealer this week. Got to admit, I'm cheating a little:- Vietnam, Australia, Singapore, Thailand roll-out on the 21st Jan, Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan roll-out early Feb Europe late Feb/early March. All to do

Subject to a bit of red tape, I think I'm going to dive in the deep end on this. The BS5 will substiute my BC2 which is used only as a CD player (cant understand the radio) and will enable me to put my CD collection back into storage. My dealer has offered me a unit for delivery on the 21st January. 10%

Thanks guy's. big help. I trawled the manuals both on Beoworkd and the Official site - all the manuals I read did not explicitly state the mode of transfer. Anyway, problem solved Thanks 10%

Hi guy's. Need some help on understanding BM1. Can any of you tell me the process of how you load your files into the BM1 harddrive? Is it done via your PC looking at BM1 harddrive as another mapped storage and using Windows Explorer to transfer or is it more illogical like using Beoplayer to "copy" album by album to a "known device"

I've been re-ripping my entire CD collection and swapping between WMP10 and Beoplayer 4.83. I have found that WMP10 - although not the latest and greatest software I'm sure, - it is fine for me to ripping, tag-edit and cover-embed. Once I have edited all my albums, I let Beoplayer scan and load-up the data. This is quick and easy and I can do

I bought one and my dealer gave me the software. I broke the glass touchscreen (drunken stuper on a tiled floor) and sent it back for repair. In the 3 month turnaround (my doing not B&O's) I got cosy with the Beo4 again. I had to force myself to use it over the Beo4. However, having done so I am happy that I did. Still, it is a pretty tall order

I would argue that every single audio machine made in the last 20 years has had the same features you do not seem to like. Every machine from the Beosystem 5000 to 8000, Beocenter 9000 series to the Overture and so on has had as a key function, a presence for the user to interact with it directly. Sure, they can all be controlled by remote control to

Alex: RE the sound performance - B&O have taken the sonic performance very seriously - think of a product to compliment the BeoLab 5 (hence the '5' moniker). The audio circuitry was designed by B&O - it's not an 'off-the-shelf' sound chip. I may be on thin ice here but I always assumed the '5' moniker was to represent

wonderfulelectric: I remember that I read somewhere that the sound quality of the latest iteration of Windows has better sound performance than a Mac OS. So guess it's okay. You guys should know that Mac don't really support HD 24bit audio well right? I don't know if there is a difference between the sound quality of an Apple OS and that
