I'm sure I saw a mention somewhere about Melco and Roon but I can't find it. Disregard and put it down to my memory loss! If they are getting Roon then I am really intrested in the Melco. RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Hifi_swlon - 05-Nov-2015 Me too. Aurender are definitely planning on doing it. Hopefully there will be a flood of interesting new hardware too. And since you don't really need local storage on the device - as this will essentially become like a NAS with what Roon are proposing - something like a 'mini Melco' without the storage would be great. This is of course all assuming that RAAT works when its released and is actually good! Bearing in mind their background, this seems very likely.…. I was hoping Devialet might add the Roon protocol direct, finally allowing users to go back to a 'one box' system that they bought into in the first place (albeit you'd still need a roon server behind the scenes) but sadly that isn't going to happen. RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Confused - 05-Nov-2015 Didn't Guillaume post "Melco are working on something big"? He gave no hint as to what it might be though, the big tease. (In fairness, I'm guessing there is a very valid reason why he could not say more) RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - octaviars - 05-Nov-2015 (05-Nov-2015, 12:42)Hifi_swlon Wrote: Me too. I also have a NAS today so I dont really need the internal storage of the Melco, maybe it is better soundwise I dont know as the Melco is only built for audio purpose and a NAS is not built only for audio. If Roon is the next big thing for Melco I hope it`s something like ELAC is doing with the upcoming Discovery streamer were Roon is built in and you dont need a computer to run the server. RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - fraserhadden - 05-Nov-2015 Slightly OT: Do Melco N1A owners use the RAID options or span the discs to get 4TB storage? It seems that, in the event of HD failure, the device has to be returned to Melco. Thus the data on the surviving HD may not be retained anyway. In this event, maybe the spanned array is best - with a 4TB backup drive permanently attached to the 'Backup' USB slot. Needless to say, I went for the RAID option, and am now rethinking, even with the effort involved. I'm betting that reconfiguring the drives will necessitate reinstallation of MinimServer, but I may be wrong on this.

The default is '0' but I'm betting the dealer may have changed it? Yes the mode is set to 1 now, as this was why the Lumin app just did not work at all. I have no idea what I am using, i am presuming it is Twonky. Tonight neither the Lumin or the Kinsky app recognised my 200. I had to restart both again to get it to work. I was just going to use Kinsky as this worked fine last night.......tonight however not so. Not picking up all my albums, and the playlist function is also not working ......ie only playing a few tracks and then it stops. Also the shuffle feature does not work. This is so frustrating right now after my problems with AIR i just wanted something that worked flawleslly after set up RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Womaz - 05-Nov-2015 (05-Nov-2015, 10:05)brit Wrote:(05-Nov-2015, 08:41)Womaz Wrote: First night of listening and well impressed so far. It's funny because I always struggle to hear differences in demos. For me it only happens when I get the chance to sit down and listen on my own, but yes I can hear a difference. It is vert early days but my first impressions were that it had not really helped. A few more days will be needed to assess fully though RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Womaz - 05-Nov-2015 Also today I went to work and left the Melco on as I had read somewhere not to power it off every time as it takes ages to restart. Come in tonight and it had not gone to standby, so I have had to change this to go into standby after 15 mins. RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Rufus McDufus - 05-Nov-2015 I'm not 100% sure but I think there isn't a 'standby' as such - it's either on or off. It actually has a relay inside which physically switches the unit off! It makes quite a loud click when it does it. RE: Melco arrives tonight ! - Womaz - 05-Nov-2015 Yes on the advice of my dealer I have turned this back off again. He says just to keep the MELCO on all the time |
