[quote user="TripEnglish"]I have every reason to believe we'll be there soon enough and some of the recent updates point firmly in that direction, but when Moxxey and others lament the lack of AirPlay it's really not an unreasonable expectation for such an expensive piece of equipment. [/quote] I'm still considering an Encore,

[quote user="Razlaw"]And if AirPlay were built in, what happens when the inevitable Apple changes/updates/improvements occur and the built in AirPlay is obsolete? [/quote] That's irrelevant Razlaw. AirPlay is just a new name for the previous AirTunes! If you supported AirTunes (which has been around for years), then AirPlay will be supported

[quote user="Razlaw"]Why would it be better? [/quote] As you have to buy a UCA-222 U-CONTROL - BEHRINGER ? Connecting an Airport Express is easy. We had this conversation previously. My dealer showed me that USB conversion kit (which isn't small btw) and that's not the solution I'm seeking. I don't want yet another box hanging

[quote user="rxcohen"] I have been looking at the BV7-40 and would appreciate your opinion on the picture quality and any issues. Recently I popped into one of the BO stores nearby and was surprised to notice pixilation on the video it was playing (animation) specially given the the cost for the system. I am not sure whether it was the case

[quote user="Carolpa"] Sorry, but you did give a refference to formats! And go back to the first second page of this discussion, where you made the remark about Apple Lossles. [/quote] It was more of a passing reference! The general debate is about AirPlay support. You're arguing about nothing. I'll drop out of this discussion as it

[quote user="bsantini"] I sorry I wasn't clear: I'm saying that almost *any* software based product is beta tested by purchasers. It can't be any other way, if you think about it. It's really about how *fast* corrections are made and uploadable by the purchaser.[/quote] Yes, but Panasonic, Sony and Samsung TVs don't ship

[quote user="linder"] My Beocenter 2 will be on ebay soon. [/quote] I may buy it from you and connect an Airport Express to it. I still have a Beocenter wall mount (hidden) which I used with my original Beocenter 2. This is an iconic DVD/CD player, IMHO. Never used mine much as I bought a BV7-40 with builtin DVD player. Ended up selling it

[quote user="bsantini"] To be fair, I can't think of ANY *other* software based product that the same would not be said about as well. [/quote] Oh come on. Did you read the discussions about software issues with the BV7-40? Many issues over many years. Beocom 5 was the same. So was the Beosound 5 when it was originally released. All three

[quote user="Carolpa"] The only MAJOR format as you put it is presumably Apple Lossless. But why do you call it MAJOR. [/quote] I was talking about streaming standards not audio formats. I've not mentioned audio formats in any previous post! If Encore is supposed to be a £2500 do-it-all streaming audio device (which it is), I'd

[quote user="shinobi52"] Beovision 7-55 3D is launched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jTQVI_4J4 [/quote] It's these kind of launches that, I don't know why, make me cringe. "you're the first person to see the picture in the UK!". Who cares? "Exclusive interview with Derek Martin" Pardon? And hearing his interview
