Hi,

what do you think about a B&O dongle to use the multiroom plattform of B&O with 3rd party Hifi systems or active speakers?


No powerlink out, no home automation, just line out (analog and optical), controlled by the B&O app and of course an optional Essence remote, Beoremote one BT... Like a stripped down Core and a nice opportunity to lure customers and infect them with the Beovirus.

Yamaha had something similar to get customers into the Musiccast world:

too niche to be commercially believable. You can already mix B&O to third party systems via Ariplay 2 and Google cast.

What you are asking for is basicly what the BS Core (or the BS Essence MK2) do.

Just use an adapter cable RJ45/PL to RCA-L/R.

The only thing that you ask for to be ‘stripped down’) is the input port of the Core/Essence…..which I would sadly miss if it was not there.

(Home automation does not come with the Core - not unless you have a Beolink Gateway/BLI in the setup).
