Thanks for the tip! But since the Core sits between 2 int. amps of which 1 is actually some sort of preamp, and the second one is a poweramp, the poweramp-one will be the main one to do the volume for the system in the living room. The Core is only for sending the signal to other rooms in the house (ie. sending a vinyl record to the kitchen and such). And otherwise I could see to find a Beoremote. The question was mainly about if a Tape Out signal can be used to send around the house with a Core. 🙂

That’s right, sorry, both are integrated amps. The one I am currently looking at (and its mainly aesthetic) is a Holfi audis, which as far as I can see only has a Tape Out as potential connector to the Core.

Thanks, but I’ve also hooked up a cd player and turntable to the Core to send it around the house using multiroom. Also my wife uses Spotify, so we do use the multiroom stuff.

I see, I do get that the BS1 doesn’t run this Mozart platform, but on the other hand, neither of my other M3’s or Core do (and will ever do?), so I’m f’ckd anyway when Google decides to upgrade their standards to a higher version, or? I am a frequent Chromecast user so that feature is quite important to me (it was actually one of the features that made me buy into the B&O system).

But good to hear that sound-wise the differences are negligible between the two (and the A5).

Thanks so much for your extensive replies! Also listened to the new A5 which seems like a contender. Did manage to listen to the Level next to the A5 and the A5 went deeper in the bass regions, but then the level was a bit clearer. So it seems to be coming down to a design preference, and then also what is available with a good deal closely. They are all a bit too close to call. My preference design wise also lies at the BS1, and the physical volume dial in a kitchen is also a pre for the BS1. We’ll see. But if anyone has more experiences, please share! 🙂
