It’s great to hear that my Beoport/Beoplayer investigations have been useful! Apologies also to the OP, but he hasn’t been seen since 2 Oct so I hope I haven’t frightened him off with all my ramblings. To be honest much of my input has been to preserve the ‘knowledge base’ as some of these devices get older, and it’s great to see that XavierItzmann is looking at novel ways to use the Beoport to solve a particular problem – namely providing an ML audiomaster. Please keep posting back with your findings and suggestions.

My Beoport is back in the cupboard for the time being. Today’s task is to dismantle (and hopefully fix) my 16-year-old Brother printer that is malfunctioning – typically I am too tight to buy a new one!!

I have a few Wiim minis – they’re great little streamers.

Hi alls and apologies to the OP for interrupting. Could those Wiim mini stream from their aux in to usual airplay device like Airport express boxes? From the user guide I understand they can from Wiim to Wiim but I wonder if an usual Airplay network can catch the stream also. Thank you.

No thats not possible I’m afraid, but as you say it can distribute line in to other wiim streamers.

I already figured out that connecting a USB charger to the BP’s USB port doesn’t work.

Hi alls, sorry to break in. You know one thing leading to another… Here I am…

Xavier, one thing leading to another, there is this thing: an old audio interface that is meant to be used with a computer but drivers get outdated and the interface became useless. Until a guy found a trick to make it believe it is connected to a computer.

I wonder if there is the same chip into the Beoport and/or this can be an inspiration?

The trick…
