[quote user="Paul Winn"] Razlaw i'm sure Moxxey certainly did not mean to offend as he comes acrosss as a very decent and knowledgeable guy! [/quote] Thanks Paul. Totally correct, which is the reason for the above post. As professionals, we should view this as it is - a discussion forum. A debate which probably enables us to be a bit stronger

[quote user="Razlaw"] However I must make an exception and respond to Moxxey, as he seems to have an insatiable need to respond directly to my post in a personal way... [/quote] I thought you were a professional lawyer Razlaw?

[quote user="rednik"]I'm not sure your postings on here help the future sales for the company, and so the R&D spend, development, PR image etc etc. [/quote] Oh, I didn't realise that only positive posts on this board will determine the future success of the company. Silly me. I somehow assumed my other B&O purchases may go

[quote user="Peter "] Actually I think the wheels are not that intuitive either. [/quote] I like the wheel and the volume control is fine, but that lever is one device too many (for me). I find it slightly tricky to position it correctly, when it should never be tricky to use. I don't see why I need a lever to choose a menu option. I

[quote user="rednik"] A big part of what makes B&O B&O, is that they don't just do what everyone else does for the sake of following a trend. [/quote] It's a trend for a good reason! The 3 wheel approach is ok. I'm not knocking it, but it takes some getting used to (and find that it's really easy to get the selection

[quote user="Chris"] I'm still strugling to get the Encore to be honest. It streams media(only music!!!!!!!!!!) and stores it. [/quote] It doesn't store it. The Encore simply streams music from various sources. I had a good look at the Encore yesterday. I still don't like the Beosound 5 UI. The build quality is superb, as always

[quote user="Razlaw"] Bottom line is, if you want Apple, buy Apple. If you want B and O, buy B and O. The two are not mutually exclusive, nor do they need to be mutually compatible.[/quote] Apple do not produce hi-fi equipment (nor, at this stage, TVs). Buying Apple equipment to handle this side of our requirements isn't an option, so

I wonder if this is the app that B&O were promoting? http://www.plugplayer.com/ Enables you to connect to a UPnP device. Rated only 2.5 stars in the iPhone app store though. Mixed ratings on the Android store https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plugplayer.plugplayer

[quote user="Raeuber"] ...the usb adapter is a lousy solution, first because of the low-quality DAC in the airport express. Second point is that no covers will be shown [/quote] Correct. Another point for not supporting AirPlay is that, by connecting to the AirPort Express, you simply get A.AUX on the Encore! No usabilty, no album covers,

[quote user="docskb"] I don't see the usb adapter as a problem.. My Beomaster is well hidden behind books.. Only the BS5 shows. [/quote] But that defeats the object of buying cool lifestyle products when we have to hide cabling, USB conversion switches etc. Why should I have to do that? The whole point of the Encore - for me - is that
