MELCO

[K4680]

I use an iPad to control a Melco N1A (recently upgraded to EX, minim server). It’s connected to my 220 by USB and last night when the battery ran out on the iPad, the music stopped playing. Out of ignorance I then thought “I hope the music isn’t going from the Melco to the iPad to the Devialet”. Can someone explain how it works for my simple mind?

Also the iPad control of the Melco seems quite primitive and will periodically ‘lose the Melco’ where I have to restart the app and go back through the whole directory to get to the music I was playing. All three components are in the same Wi-Fi router.

Hi, which app are you using?

Melco playlist:
The playlist can either be saved on Melco N1 (mode 1 = Open Home), so that the playlist can also be saved when the app is  not in contact or the playlist is saved on the app (mode 0 = UPNP) when the  App requires it.

  Mode 1 (Open Home) Playlist is saved on Melco, the app does not always have to be connected!
  The setting is: Mode 1 for USB mode !!
App:  Kazoo, Lumin, Kinsky

  Mode 0 (UPNP) playlist is saved on the iPad!  iPad must always be connected
  App: Melco HD, AK Connect

Configuring the Mode for Managing USB-DAC Using Controller App
By default, “Hybrid Mode” is selected and it supports many types of controller apps. However, depending on the controller app you are using, we recommend changing the controller settings to “UPnP/DLNA compatible Mode”, “Playlist Mode”, or “Roon Ready Mode” instead. It will optimize communication between the Digital Music Library and the controller app.
• UPnP/DLNA compatible Mode: Select when your controller app is UPnP/DLNA-compatible.
• Playlist Mode: Select when your controller app is not UPnP/DLNA-compatible, and is not by Roon Labs LLC.
• Roon Ready Mode: Select when your controller app is by Roon Labs LLC.
Note: If the selected controller mode is not set to “Hybrid Mode” and is different from the one on the controller app, the Digital Music Library may not appear as a player on the app.
To change the controller settings, follow the procedure below.
