Would be good if we do. I find it somewhat ironic that we're getting £3K speakers, but have to listen to compressed Spotify music and basic Dolby Digital Apple TV movie audio, on these speakers.
Little point spending nearly £10K on a new 5.1 setup, then listening to audio from your Apple TV. Not a patch on the uncompressed audio you get from a Blu-ray.
I suppose so. It's only logical to upgrade all streaming systems to 24bit now to match with the speakers.
Also I think the current wisa line is simply a softcore introduction as to what do come. Remember how the Beolab1s & Beolab5s a grand entrance into the product line showcasing a new technology? I think we are missing that from B&O. They need another publicity hit like ice power and the lenses. Perhaps finally with a Icepower upgrade into The Direct digital amplifier category? It only makes sense since new offerings now have digital inputs. Why no more breakthroughs from ice? Although direct digital runs a lot less efficient so maybe it can only be reserved for the high end.
i think B&O needs to shift away from boutique only sales and start selling through the common dealership chains to show shoppers what they are missing out on. TV and everything. I am sure B&O TVs will not lost out in side by side comparisons. How else will people be aware that B&O is known to make TVs ? There are the apple products to get the audio division some attention but what about the TVs?
To be very honest, I am not interested in anything but an upgraded playmaker with more current wifi and a design I actually like to put onto a shelf.
All I need is Airplay, otherwise I throw my funds rather at better speakers.

To be fair, that's all I use these days. Used to have a BS4 connected to BL3s and a BL11. Removed the BS4, bought a Playmaker, stream all my audio, radio and other content to the PM. If they brought out a better PM, I'd buy it immediately. Something that looked a bit better than a smoke alarm, basically!
BeoNut since '75
elephant:Moxxey - did you sell the BS4 ? Get a good price ?
No, no-one wanted it! Dealer had 3 pre-loved/ex-demo BS4s to shift.
I did manage to trade it in against the BV10-32, along with the outgoing BC6-23.
actually I have an airport express on the A.AUX of my beocenter 9300!!!!
and you, what do you do with your numeric music????

What more would we need?
