I would buy the Beosound Moment without hesitation.
No doubt, it will be the next addition to my setup.

Yes. It's certainly got it's quirks but it's getting better everyday and now it's an important part of the family instead of just a neat curiosity as it began a few weeks ago.

I waited until now to buy one because of what I knew then - since the moment was released. It's perfect.
yes definitely, despite installation issues and some improvements yet to be released
No.
Yes defenitly... I like the design, I like the sound coming from it, I like the Deezer and radio integration...
But there is still a lot of work on it to become more user friendly as a whole, the Beomusic app. per example. I'm waiting for: random play for DLNA playlists, bigger albums overview and tracks overview, etc... Please B&O rewrite the app. I'm getting so tired of using that small user menu in the app.
A fine example in a way I would like to see it is, the Audirvana+ remote..
"Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see, let your ears tell you the truth."
Yes I would have bought it. Nothing is prefect in the beginning when it is software related in my opinion, look how Apple started when they transitioned to OS X and even with the iPhone back in 2007.
This platform has all in it to be the next big thing on Audio for Bang & Olufsen. Think in a couple of years the Moment will be Iconic as the BeoSound 9000 for example
Erwin,
Thank you for your well considered response which has truly intrigued me.
I have often wondered why so many B&O fans (including myself) are willing to cut B&O so much slack!
I actually do worry a bit that this encourages B&O to rush things to market which are not fully baked.
The Moment is not a cheap trinket. It is supposed to be cutting edge produced by the world leader n luxury audio/video.
Would it not be reasonable to expect that this product works exactly as advertised and actually should exceed expectations.
Should one it expect an iconic product today
This is a little bit like Ferrari asking its customers to Beta test it's new 488.
