Yes, the Nucleus+ has an extra port on the switch.Yes, I have the same experience, that locally stored files on the Melco do sound better than streaming (i.e. Qobuz with BubbleUPnP). And with locally stored files, do you hear a difference between listening with Roon or just listening with the Melco alone with a UPnP app?

Even so, saved songs from Melco sound clearer! I can't hear such big differences between Lan and Usb port. My perception !!Ah, I see, thanks for your feedback.

Will also try a similar setup with an external NAS. But at least it seems plausible that the Melco does sound a bit better, when there is less electrical load like spinning hard drives.

FW Ver 4.04Beta [14th September, 2020] [USB-DAC Local Player] - Roon Ready Mode added. *MELCO won’t be "Roon core" or "Roon server" because Roon requires specific processor chipset for core. - While MELCO is working as Roon Ready USB transport, MELCO won’t accept any playback requests from UPnP AV/OpenHome Controller App. - To turn off Media Server is recommended when Roon Ready Mode. Roon Core manages all metadata. - MELCO’s internal storage can be used as a source. All tracks will be sent to Roon Core once for processing and be sent back to MELCO to play. - TIDAL/qobuz can be managed by Roon and play on MELCO. - Customer can utilize the high quality volume control of Roon core by setting DSD playback mode as PCM. https://www.melco-audio-masters.com/roon.html RE: MELCO - philoouu - 15-Sep-2020 (14-Sep-2020, 16:25)K4680 Wrote: Melco becomes Roon Ready!@K4680 I am still very interested by a Melco unit but I am not still 100% convinced by the Roon ready part. It is a huge step as many people d0 not want to use something else than Roon to select/play their music for obvious reasons. Before the Roon Ready news, you could already store your music on the Melco and play it in the Roon Core but it could not been sent back to Melco I guess. I am wondering if sending the data to Roon core back and forth will produce the same quality of sound than playing them directly on the Melco as it was up to today? Will the Melco be more like a Roon bridge (SMS-200 for example) with data storage? Let us know if you get a chance to compare the quality of the sound with or without Roon.

I love the comfort and the information that ROON provides! In terms of sound, I can't really tell the difference between USB and LAN. Tonight I will install and test the new Melco FW 4.04! MELCO - philoouu - 17-Sep-2020 Hello K4680 Did you test the new firmware ? How did it go ? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: MELCO - K4680 - 17-Sep-2020 (17-Sep-2020, 03:15)philoouu Wrote: Hello K4680 Hi, FW 4.04 installed via USB update. No problems, Roon is running. A few more settings are required: 1. Please activate the Melco menu. 2. Go to the point "Settings" (menu point 4). 3. Go to the USB-DAC settings (menu item 6) 4. Then in the control modes (menu item 1). 5. Activate the "Roon Ready Mode" mode there (menu item 2). To use the volume control via Roon, the output must be set to "PCM Mode only", since Roon can only change the volume of PCM signals (menu item 3). https://3-h.de/wp-content/uploads/Print_Version_Roon_Press_Release.pdf. MELCO - philoouu - 17-Sep-2020 And the sound ? Any difference versus direct play without Roon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
