    Beosound 5 Encore: Will I still need a DAC?

    Reply Contact

    Dear all,

    I am just about to buy or give back a Cambridge DacMagic. Right now I have the following setup:

    iMac -> USB -> DACMagic -> Beoport with BL6000 and port into my ML Network.

    Also in the ML Network are:

    Mainroom: BV8-40; BS3200; BL3; ATV2

    Linkroom 1: BV8-32; ATV1  /  Linkroom 2: BL2000

     

    If I change now to BS5 Encore (instead of BS3200) then I will still use the iMac or the attached TimeCapsule as storage for music. But I guess I will not need any DAC anymore, because the Beoport becomes obsolete. Correct? Is there still any use for a DAC? 

    I assume that B&O brings out the ML<->Beonet converters quickly and one of these is in front of each "old" B&O Product. 

    Thanks for clearing this up a little. 

    Heribert

    Nope. The DAC is in the BeoSound 5 Encore.

    Hi Trip,

    Do you have info when the ML to Net converters will be available?

    Thanks, H.

    A lot later than I'd like. The only estimate I've heard is fall, but a few other things have been pushed back a month or two already so I don't know if that date can be relied on.
