MELCO
RAVENNA for Melco excerpt here from PR sheet :
The advantages of using Ethernet were plainly obvious to other DAC manufacturers and there has been much interest in how this could be be incorporated into other products. During the High End 2017 show, the RAVENNA Corner of the Merging stand J06 in Hall 3 will amply demonstrate where this is going. A Melco N1 Hi-Res Digital Music Source will be on display as will the Aurender X100 Digital Music Player. Both these popular products take advantage of Merging’s LINUX Virtual Audio Device which could be adopted by other devices using the same operating system. Merging has also developed drivers for OSX and Windows to ensure that RAVENNA can be used with any computer platform.

Interesting concept but there may be limited availability of compatible DACs?

Hi all, first post here. Happy owner of a 440 Pro, I just wanted to mention that Melco is quite open to renewing their older products, was offered to upgrade a 1x 2TB HDD to 1x or 2x SSD with minimum premium, quite enjoyed the service.

Having audio breakup 1s-2s (as the song starts) moving from one song to the next picking randomly, the issue is limited to 24/192 files (setup is Melco N1A-->SoTM-SMS200--->Mytek Brooklyn). Everything is wired and control point is Kazoo on my laptop. Can someone confirm if this is expected behaviour.

I have an N1A straight into a Brooklyn.  I've never noticed this behaviour but I'll test for it...

[edit] - forgot to ask. Is this with the default Twonky Server on the Melco, or Minimserver?

Hello Devialetuser, maybe this helps!

No issues when directly connected to Mytek via USB. Will try with a different router/switch. Thanks

Hello! I bought an N1A in Japan, it's 100V only and works very well. Recent firmwares improved it also. It's really a pure branding issue, the firmware is the same.
