Aurender N100 v AIR

"Melco are apparently working on their own control app"

Within past couple weeks I've been in touch with Melco/Buffalo and there will be no Melco control app in foreseeable future and perhaps not at all - so if that matters to you probably good to look at Aurender, Lumin or Bryston devices. These apps can be expensive to develop and not every manufacturer is ready to spent the resources in time/money if they cannot expect to recover the investment through sales. The Lumin D1, the Aurender X100 or the latest Bryston USB player may be good choices for you.

I seem to recall that you preferred the SQ of the Melco over the Aurender.?
Having its own app does not really bother me as Lumin and other apps would work. What bothers me is I would probably have to set the Melco up myself and copy all of my music across. Then change my DBPoweramp settings to save the rip to the Melco. This is not my strong point
I am sure I also read on another forum that it took someone 3 days to transfer their music collection over. Wow surely not. I have about 1500 Cds ripped to Flac.
