Hi Rufus!
I am currently using Arcam on IPAD with Melco FW 3.0 setting hybrid. Playback is USB. What exactly is your problem with Arcam? App doesn't see the library or player or none of them?
The app can find the library fine on the Melco but not the USB-DAC source - it just keeps searching.
I have similar problem with other devices (Apple TV, Marantz Consolette, Sony TV) in my network, they just disappear as "player". In those situations the magic solution of the IT World RESTART helps.
1) Disable the Wifi of IPAD, then enable again.. TRY Arcam
2) There is a free App "FING", which is very good to scan all devices in the network. You can select the device and ping later individually, too. TRY Arcam.
Restarting Melco, Main Router may be worth trying, as well.
My non-technically proven idea about such situations is that detecting devices may not be always successful, if the network is complicated like mine (Router,Modem,Several switches, power line extension, wireless access point etc.)
Please check attached screen shot. I hope I was able to upload.
Good Luck!
