Well, I guess Naim must be wishing that he'd stayed around for longer - their streaming strategy now seems well behind most of their competition particularly with respect to supporting on-line music services.
The Melco does seem like a complete update of the Naim servers which Alan brought to that company, and with added bells 'n' whistles. That might be an over-simplification, but the technical excellence must derive from Alan in the main. Be interesting to what happened to Naim and him, because NetStreams died soon after he left. Naim should be kicking themselves for losing someone who actually understands the whole serving / streaming process.
