Hello,
I am trying to find a method to link a large NAS (16tb) with my existing system:
Beolab5; Beolab 9; Beosound 9000; BeoCenter 2 and Moment
Ideally have the NAS remote and the speakers on a network and work "like Sonos" with App or similar to select music and location. Moment is I think useless and never seemed to work.
What options can I pursue as I am building a new house and now is the time to specify wiring for cabling speakers, network etc. My dream would be to have 9000 in same room with Beolab 5 to play cd's and Beocenter2 in room with Beolab 9. Ideally link tv sound to Beolab 9 as well.
Big dreams-- any guidance greatly appreciated. So far no support from BO. I am moving south of Lisbon so if any one has a good contact to help, please let me know.
thanks again

Need help linking NAS with BeoLab 5+9

Thank you for your note. I have found the Moment to be a very slow and frustrating experience. Yes, it works "sometimes" and is continually hunting and often need to rebuild the DNLA which drives me mad.
I have heard that using a streamer like WIIM Pro Plus is a much slicker solution which will permit switching rooms (from BeoLab 5, 9 and cubes).
Do you have any experience with these 'streamers'-- sounds too good to be true, DAC and this way you can keep the analog cabling for speaker I believe. I don't know if you still use Powerlink cabling with this method and trying to figure this out as i am building a new home with polished concrete floors and want to cable in the floor.
Many thanks

A Blusound Node for each room - one connected to the BL9, one connected to the BL5.
BluOS is pretty well regarded, and can pick up your NAS music.
The Moment is not a good solution, nor a good product - I had one for a couple of years and got rid of it.
Why not just connect the Note/the WiiM to the line-in of the Moment?
I suppose that the Moment has auto sense there just like other newer products.

Many thanks for your response. Am I correct I understanding that by using the Bluesound Nodes and streamer this would all be done via wifi which I assume will not be the same quality sound as hardwired with large (16tb) lossless library. Does the Wiim ProPlus negate the wifi aspect? It looks like the Bluesound control and OS is slick and not sure if WIIM offer a similar approach. Maybe I missed it, but can the Bluesound work over a network and not wifi and with a Synology DiskStation NAS?
I am trying to find a 'simple' approach as the whole B+O Moment was a nightmare in so many ways and a product dead on arrival-- although aesthetically lovely.
Thanks
Hi, You should also consider Wiim Pro / Pro Plus. Great value for money. In my system, files are stored in a Qnap NAS with Twonky server (or whatever you want). Wiim coaxial output connected to BL50 / Line output connected to BC2 Aux-in. Works fine. Kind regards, Yann.Location: Brittany, France
