Has anyone tried or been able to play the studio master quality FLAC files? I was looking at them on the Linn Records website. You can download 24-bit 96KHz (or 88.2KHz) files of the music. I downloaded a test file and could convert and store it in iTunes as a 24bit 88.2KHz aiff file although it won't load onto my iPod. It appears then my iMac and

In the Audi cars, even if it has B&O speakers, the control head units are still the same right? Who makes these? It doesn't appear to be B&O. I always thought the center section of the Beosound Century would be nice to have in the car- it's about the right height for the single-DIN slot size.

AT: Alex: But then its all about design again. Or not ? Good point. IMHO currently B&O mostly want to sell their products only by the design, and that's the problem: It's not enough.

I have a 9300; when it came there were two small screws on the bottom that go up into the CD transport and hold it down (normally it floats a bit). I would imagine the 9500 had this also. There was a warning label reminding the purchaser to remove them, so check on that. I would imagine the seller has long lost the screws but a dealer might be able

I'm trying to figure out what options I have for playing music from my iTunes library on my system. This is what I have: - BC9300 w/BL8000s in main room MCL wiring to: - kitchen which has a BL3500 - master bedroom which has LCS9000 - family room which has CX-50s connected to an MCL2AV The (Sony) TV is in the family room and the sound output is wired

One of the things about B&O is that there isn't just one key feature- it's the sound, design, usability, and integration all together that make it so nice. I asked my wife today about our system and what she liked about it. (System is BC9300 & BL8000's in living room, BL3500s in master bath and kitchen, and CX-50's in family

I think the reason the iPod sits in front is that it makes the ergonomics of operating it better. The iPod is designed to be operated by your thumb as your handle cradles it; if you mount it into something and have to use your index finger to operate it, it isn't so nice.

I have the 8000's and would like to add the Beolab 2 someday, but I was wondering- don't they have crossover settings for the beolab 1's and 6000's? Have they updated that for 8000's, 3's, and 9's?
