This is a word for word reprint of the Hi-Fi News article! Didn't think they were allowed to do this sort of thing. Anyway, a very favourable review.

Ah! Ooops! That's kinda lame.
Well at least we've been able to read it now.

Good news; the RSP is £3500; an excellent product.

Hmmm.. A badly written review and no real information about the (lack of) a decent control app and no info on the (lack of) music steaming service integration (Qobuz, Tidal etc).
Exam grade for reviewer : 3/10 could do a lot better
@Oxford Audio - do you have an N1ZH on demo?
IMac macOS 10.15.3 (no link to Devialet ) / MacBook Pro Retina OS X 10.14.4 / Linn LP12 / Devialet 200 / Wilson Benesch Discovery.
Qobuz Desktop Latest Version / Audirvana 3.2.18 / Audirvana Remote / iTunes 12.9 / AIR 3.0.4 / Wi-Fi / FW 8.1.0 / SAM 50%

Can you use any DLNA app with the Melco or do you have to use their own?

You can basically use any UPnP app: Kinsky, PlugPlayer, Bubble etc
I believe Kinsky is their recommended app.
Ships with Twonky but I believe it's possible to install Minimserver.

With pre-installed Twonky, it works with the Lumin and Arcam Life too.
Yes, MinimServer can be installed.
