This is not a usual situation. I purchased a SMMC1 from Soundsmith and am completely satisfied. I would most certainly purchase products from Soundsmith again. There is going to be another heavy snowstorm this week. Air travel, package deliveries, and especially the postal services will be affected throughout more than three fourths of the country.

[quote user="sorenfelden"] Thanks for the link which, however, seems to support my above comment that FLAC does NOT work in iTunes. So the question still remains whether there is a LOSSLESS format which is compatible with BOTH iTunes and Beomaster5. I'm afraid not...... [/quote] I am afraid not.

[quote user="TripEnglish"] I can't believe that people, especially active participants of BeoWorld, are still unclear as to what the BeoSound 5 Encore is or does. It's been gone into in more detail than would ever be included in a press release and greater detail than most B&O product owners ever discover about their own equipment

Are there going to be upgraded products such as Beolab 5 or Beovision 7? I think that I would be reluctant to buy any product without a more clear idea of production plans.

I am never really sure what is happening in these long drawn out discussions which essentially bash Bang & Olufsen no matter what new product they introduce. I have a few comments. 1. Not made in Denmark! In this case the reason for production in China of the Beosound 8 was easy. Cost of course is a factor but I believe the case for investment in

I agree! I use them all and it works just fine.
