I would have bought an Aurender last summer if they had supported Qobuz - I guess I will have a borrow one and try it again probably in comparison against a Melco.
Hi PhilP,
I heard recently that Melco are working on native Qobuz integration. I believe it will feature in the new iOS app which is due out shortly.

@ Guillaume, a belated thanks for the info. for some reason I missed your post. If the Melco app is 100% robust and handles 24-bit streaming then it may be exactly what I'm looking for. It's a shame that they persist with the over-the-top pricing for the N1Z. I've lusted after one ever since you reviewed it but I can't bring myself to pay so much for a device that should retail at around half the price. That said the N1Z is cheaper than my previous Naim NDX/XPS2 which now retails at £7,040 and doesn't have any internal disk drives.
Hi PhilP, how about trying the new N1Z model with the spinning disks? I should think the sound will new pretty spectacular.
I still think the N1A is a steal in terms of what you are getting for the money.
