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.
First impressions is it has a fuller bass and definitely a more spacious sound. I loved this about AIR, but this seems to do it better. Disappointment is the Lumin app, is not really functioning for me. Can't even use a shuffle play facility. Switched to Kinsky and it's not the best looking app in the world, but it works and that's the main thing. Melco app hopefully will be here soon so this is not a worry. Off to work and the end of the day can't come quick enough as a full night with my new toy ahead. Funny how a new gadget still gets my pulses racing

To bad you dont have an Android because the Bubble app is really good, after using that for a while I think that it is better than Auralics app that the use with the Aries. I tried the Lumin on Android and that did not work at all.

You need to make sure the 'Settings->USB-DAC->Controller->Mode' is set to '1' to enable Openhome, otherwise it's a very disappointing UPNP experience! The default is '0' but I'm betting the dealer may have changed it?
Also the auto power settings might power it off after 5 minutes with a loud 'click'. I don't know if you're using Minimserver... The default Twonky server is a bit disappointing IMHO & also annoyingly clears and rescans the database each time you start the Melco from power-up (this is a Twonky 'feature' which they've never provided a setting to disable). Hopefully Melco are going to remediate this fairly soon if rumours of things like Roon are true.

Has it had any impact on the "brightness" you were experiencing earlier with your system? David

Rufus - care to expand on the Roon situation with Melco????? I'd ruled the Melco out, but that would be of real interest to me... >>> 1st Place Award: Devialet, last decades most disappointing technology purchase. <<<

I think I may be talking rubbish. 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 anyone does have contact with the Melco developers, it would be great to know if they're considering it…. >>> 1st Place Award: Devialet, last decades most disappointing technology purchase. <<< |
