Does somebody have a Level without GVA and can you confirm whether or not it has favourite buttons?

The Beosound 2 without GVA does not have these programmable buttons. However, even without GVA it would still be convenient to have these buttons with the ability to program them for a specific source or channel, just like you can with the BeoRemote One MyButtons in combination with the Stage of BS2 non-GVA.

The B&O website and product documentation is very vague about the differences between the GVA and non-GVA products unfortunately. 

Also, it seems you cannot stereo pair a GVA with a non-GVA Level, I wonder what the reason is for this.

Thanks!

I own a non-GVA Level. It has favorite buttons that work just as advertised. One-touch to a favorited B&O radio station.

And yes, stereo pairing must be done within the same type of speakers (i.e., GVA Level/GVA Level, non-GVA Balance/non-GVA Balance).

Currently: BeoLab 17, BeoLab 18, BeoSound Core, Beosound Level, Beosound A1 2nd Gen, BeoPlay S8 Connection Hub, Halo, Essence Remote

Previously: BeoSound 1 non-GVA

Thanks a lot for confirming. The missing favourite buttons seems to be BeoSound 1/2 non-GVA specific then. I assume all non-GVA Mozart products will have them.

Yes, all non Mozart products favorite buttons are unfortunately only connected to Google shortcuts.

I never use that on my GVA BS1.

I would assume that you can program favorite buttons on Beoremote 1 and Halo when you use it with a Beosound 2 non-GVA. I have programmed the favorite buttons on my BR1 and BR Halo for radiostations when used with my BeoPlay A9 2nd Gen and BeoPlay M5.

Anybody knows if the favorite buttons on BR1/Halo works with Beosound 2 non-GVA?

Best

Yes, I can confirm you can use the BeoRemote One MyButtons with the BeoSound 2 non-GVA
