Well, following the kind invitation to join this illustrious group how could I resist.
I am not going to embark on any technical tutoring or sales pitching, and neither am I able to claim any Brownie Points for the Melco solution - it is a rather excellent team effort and my involvement was relatively late in the day.
I will say though that the architecture and engineering approach is just so compellingly 'on target' that from the minute I met the guys I knew that we should be doing something together to move the whole Streaming and Computer Music experience forward.
It is possibly unique that an IT company with the huge resources of Buffalo Technology could ever get involved in high-end Audio - all down to the origins of the Company as a boutique high-end Japanese Hi-Fi manufacturer from the 1970s, with the founder, Mr Maki, still taking an active interest in this particular project as he has always been a serious Audiophile.
So back to lurking, but happy to clear up any misunderstandings maybe - although I feel that the two corespondents so far are doing a far better and honest job of describing the product that I could do!
Enjoy the music!
Alan
