It is actually pretty simple.
The 9000 is set up as normal and the streamer is connected to the A.Aux input there using the analog output of the streamer – most streamers have analog outputs.
You’l need an adapter cable for that – probably a male L/R RCA to a male 5 pin DIN.The A.Aux on the 9000 must be activated/turned on using the Beo4 – the music must be choosen and controlled via an app (according to the streamer) – the volume control is best done with the Beo4/the 9000.
You must connect the streamer to your home network (where your NAS also is connected).
This can – with most streamers – be done either wireless or using a network cable.
I’d prefer a wired connection, if possible.
The streamer must be setup according to the user guide.Enjoy CD’s or streamed music from the speakers/the 5’s ?
Note!
You can not connect directly to the speakers/the BL5 with a network cable!2:
Since it seems that there is no need for connecting both B&O systems (using a ML cable), I’d suggest running these independently and add another streamer to the BC2 just like with the 9000.
Both setups can then be used in similar ways – which might be important to other family member….what they do in one room is also how you do it in the other.As I understand it, you already have (and use) a B&O Connection Hub – the socalled S8 hub.
Probably with a tv now and the BL3’s (?).With this hub you have different options – see this picture:
This means that you can connect different audio sources there (only one will play, the other must be turnded off).
You could use the optical in for the sound from a 3rd party tv (that is maybe what you do now).
And use the Powerlink input for the BC2.
In this case there would be no speakers connected to the BC2 itself, but to the hub….these could be the 5’s.
This way you’d have sound from CD, streaming device and tv using the same pair of speakers.
Enjoy ?The (spare pair of) BL3’s could be used as additional speakers somewhere in the big room, if needed.
However, you might want to use the BC2 and the tv/hub setup indipendently.
In that case connect the 9’s to the BC2 and the 3’s to the hub (or vice versa).
It all depends on your needs, your use habits.3:
Yes, you can access what you have on your NAS with the Sonos devices.
Please read here.There might be other ways to set up your systems – however, here I have tried to describe a rather simple way to do this.
Feel free to ask again if needed.

The ‘Gen…own General Up’ in some cases instead of the volume bar must be something temporary.
I’m not sure. If you tap on the product icon near these commands, it opens a sub-page where you find the volume of possibly linked products.

I only have the ‘Gen…own General Up’ thing with my converters.
Neither has speakers connected, so I can’t test why they are there/what they are supposed to do.That pushing the product icon reveals the multiroom options has been so for quite a while.
On my iPad it looks this way.
Of course that looks different due to the different form factor.
For the phone they had no other option than letting it slide up from the buttom.Thinking about it……why not have an icon for all sources (including B&O Radio and NAS-based music) on the right side of the volume bar and let these appear similar to the multiroom options on the left.
Then have the Home button on the top instead of the ‘Sources’ arrow.
This way they could skip the lower bar with the (now) three icons, that you can only reach by closing the ‘Now Playing’ screen.This would mean being able to manage all basic control right from the ‘Now Playing’ screen.
