Hi,
Bigsound is on its way My current setting is made out of a BS Essence (master), a BS Ouverture, 2 BL8000 and a BL11.The 3 BLs will soon be replaced by a pair of BL5 !The B&O guys were unsure about a direct connexion of the BL5s to the Essence!?!Is there a known issue here?
How is your Essence connected now?
And why do you call it (master)?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Hi MM,
The BL11 is connected to the Essence via PL mk3 cable + a converter PL to RJ45. The two BL8000 are connected to the BL11.I called the Essence "master" because the BLs are plugged on it and it's my main device. I don't need to start the Ouverture to listen to music (Internet radios or Spotify or NAS).
The Ouverture is plugged on the Line In of the Essence (I don't have/need multiroom for the moment)What I (partly) understood : The PL mk2 cable required for the BL5 seems to have 8 pins instead of 7 (+1 for shielding?) and there may be an issue with the converter PL to RJ45.To be honnest, I don't know very much about these connexions, but I'll be surprised if the converter wasn't shielded...

@Christophe
Every (DIN)/PL has 8 pins..
RJ45 is 'just another plug'.
