Sorry Stefan, I was saying that I though we had to use the PC connection because otherwise the BeoSystem 3 tries to process the video. With PC mode, the signal from the mac mini in this case would be sent in as it is? Or does it not matter?

But doesn't the BeoSystem 3 process the signals of the V.AUX/V.MEM ?

Hi Stefan, Thanks for all your help. The thing is that since my BV1 doesn't accept the PC command, I still won't be able to access the music, right? Does this option offer any advantages over the Airport Express solution?

Thanks again Phil, I guess this Beonet is the one to wait for...

Exactly DoubleU and no DACs! Apple really is as far as I want to diverge from B&O... I always feel like if I start using other equipment... I'm doing something "wrong" hehe

I think I got it! Why don't I just use an Apple AirPort Express!? Then I can have that connected to the Ouverture. This would then let me: Itunes :- Stream over WiFi from the Mac Mini to the Ouverture, then to the BV1 Boxee :- Keep the SPDIF... etc cable to the BV7. Thanks Apple :) And thanks to BeoWorld :)

Hi Phil, Thanks for the post, I checked the prices of the DACMagic and they go for around £250-£300! If I didn't go for this option, then if I set the mac to output in analog, a simple y-splitter would work I guess. If I replace my bedroom TV with a BV8 for example that can accept the 'PC' command, would the current setup suffice

P.S. The other advantage is that using my iPhone, I can control anything I want to listen to in the Linkroom (just need to figure out what to do with this splitter)...

Thanks Mat. Im thinking about using Boxee. Now there is an iPhone app for it as well, and I have the STB for it. So its full control. I paid £250 for the mac mini with 2GB Ram and 120GB HDD, which is loads cheaper than any other decent solution that I've had to consider. Worse case its still a very usable computer. with the use of arRsync

Hi Guys, I finally bought a mac mini to act as a dedicated media server. My setup is: BV7-40 MK3 with BS Ouverture in lounge and BV1 in bedroom, BL2000 in kitchen. I think there will be no probs outputing the mac mini sound via toslink + spdif adapter to the BV7, however, I also want to split the signal in order to listen to the music via the ouverture
