Five years ago today we launched #Beocreate 4-Channel Amplifier, together with #bangolufsen and #hifiberry. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this little device.

Even though it’s been quieter since I started at B&O, the whole project still brings me joy every day and I definitely have plans for it.

So, distinguishing between “paused” and “stopped” allows me to keep the Toslink transmitter (and thus the connected Beolab 18) powered on during pauses. They would then turn off after their internal standby delay or when the last active source on #Beocreate goes into “stopped” state (and I cut the Toslink transmitter), whichever is sooner.

TBH, I don’t expect many people other than myself to use this thing as a streamer for their #BangOlufsen speakers, but hey, if you want to do it, it works.

To this day, it’s been 28y since I started my career as an RF and electronics designer. My first design was the ‘System Modulator’ (PCB63) located behind the red mark shown here on the #bangolufsen Avant32 TV. I wish I could find a picture of the actual module but it seems to have vanished from history 🤷🏼‍♂️😢 I would absolutely love to have an actual unit, but I’m sure they’re long gone now ☺️ #engineer #electronics #bangandolufsen

@nund Oh wie wahr. Hatte kürzlich einen sehr langen Austausch mit dem #BangOlufsen #Support. Bei der aktuellen Generation der #Kopfhörer wurde der austauschbare Akku gestrichen und es gibt kein!Programm für #Reparatur mehr. Entsprechend sind alle Kopfhörer, die gerne 500,- EUR und mehr kosten, nach 24 Monaten bei jedem Problem sofort #Elektroschrott. Ich bin wirklich irritiert oder besser fassungslos wie man Kunden insbesondere bei Kopfhörern in so wenigen Jahren daran gewöhnt hat.
