I have wondered if using external storage would compromise some of the features of the internal disks they use, unless the disk type was the same as the internal ones but then the USB connectivity may be a disadvantage over how the internal disks are connected (PCIe?).
Yes, its not clear to me how this works. I would have thought they would use the same approach for the N1A and N1Z w.r.t. transferring data from external storage.

I'd understood that's exactly what they do use it for.
As you were: I think I got that confused with amabrok's description of the Aurender N10. Sorry

+1
..and Paul's lab reports are concise and useful as well.
Hi
I Will soon listen to the N1A with D400.
I will give my feedback

Looking forward to your feedback. What control app will you use?
I was used to plug player with my Linn akurate. I think I have read it suits the Melco ?
Did anybody try to playback dsf/dff files over pcm (DoP mode)? Do you have gapless playback for DoP? My friend Michael haven't gapless playback of dsf from USB player Melco N1Z to DAC TAD DA1000 for DoP mode. The dsf playback in "Convert to PCM" mode on Melco is also not gapless. PCM (flac, wav) is played in gapless mode. Firmware is 2.10. Mediaserver is Twonky. CPs are Lumin and PlugPlayer.
is the Melco the issue since USB is not recommended by Devialet ? is the AES output really better ?
Which Melco model does provide AES?
AES is better in my system..

None. The digital audio output is USB only.
