BS5 Encore&nbsp;WILL NOT&nbsp;replace BS5/BM5. All the featrures included on the new BS5 will be implement on the current and eventual BS5/BM5 set ups.&nbsp;The great diference, even&nbsp;the hard disk,&nbsp;is that BS5/BM5 is ready for current BeoLink set ups and also for the new BeoLink, avalible eventually, with the possibility of&nbsp;work as client or media server or both. The BS5 Encore only supports new BeoLink platform as a media client.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/300606.aspxMon, 08 Nov 2010 09:14:08 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:300606avus170https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/300606.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=300606<p>Does anybody know how the new BeoSound 5 Encore will be connected to a PC?
