P.S. I believe that you can set a default volume for your audio master (BeoSound 5) and a different default volume for your video master if you have a B&O video master (tv). Therefore, switching to B&O for your video in the future might solve that problem.

I own the BeoSound 5/BeoMaster 5 combo and love it. I think from the original poster's remarks, he really wants the total integration and simplicity that comes from keeping everything B&O. The BeoSound 5 is ideal for those goals. Also, if one can afford BeoLab 5 speakers, that person would likely not mind spending a little extra for B&O's

[quote user="tompa"] [quote user="beojeff"] It does seem a shame that B&O used a DVI instead of HDMI connection from the BeoMaster 5, though. With all the attention on the BeoSound 5 Encore, B&O needs to show added features to market the BeoSound 5/BeoMster 5 combo. [/quote] And what is the problem??... DVI and HDMI is the

Does it give an option as to what format for the ripping? I hope Apple Lossless will be added in the future. Does it ask for confirmation for the tags?

[quote user="Vienna"] [quote user="Razlaw"] Does it have to be physically mounted on the Beosound 5 ... [/quote] That's the idea - and the supplied cables are very short. [/quote] I cringe at the though of re-doing the wiring in the mount and twisting the BeoSound 5 back on correctly. Remember how we had to follow that convoluted

The B&O site and B&O on Facebook now have a video promoting the Beo6's 2-way wifi feature with the BeoSound 5. Yet, there is still no software update for the BeoSound 5.

[quote user="Ron Pruitt"] You mean the net radio stations, not your itunes content stored on the cloud correct? Ron [/quote] I do mean the iTunes content stored on the cloud. The latest BeoPlayer app actually shows not only the net radio stations but also all of one's iTunes Match library stored on the iCloud -- complete with cover art

I just discovered that on the iPad/iPhone BeoPlayer app, the entire music library from the iCloud now shows up and is completely playable from within the BeoPlayer app. Complete with cover art.
