From my first impressions I did not hear a big step up in SQ from the Melco compared to AIR, but it is very early days and not ideal to compare on a demo.
To me it just had to sound as good and not worse as I have lost patience with AIR.
The lack of app is a disappointment but they have one in development so that did not put me off. The Lumin app looks ok but not a patch on JRiver that i currently use, but hey you cant have everything.
The Lumin app appears to be able to facilitate Tidal and internet radio, but I think that may be just with the Lumin gear, not sure on that yet.
It will be interesting to see if the Aurender tames your brightness. I have the PMC23s and the Melco did not help with this, but I didnt really expect it to.
For me I think it is only certain tracks that I find it too bright, and it is possibly just badly recorded music
