Other parts of this thread talked about "5 pin Beolink", which defintiely
sounds proprietary, even if they do use DIN connectors.

B&O have their own, proprietary connector topology for reasons they
obviously think are valid.

Get real. They have proprietary connections for the same reason Apple do -
to tie you to their designs, charge $$$ for simple things (like connections)
and make high, high high profits.

Actually, they aren't proprietary at all. Back in the seventies they were
extremely common and used by pretty much all of the European stereo
manufacturers. If anything, B&O is the last hanger-on of a formerly popular
standard.
