There's an interesting audio interview with Alan Ainslie of Melco on Paul Rigby's (The Audiophile Man) site here:
http://www.theaudiophileman.com/#!sound-...port/c22he
No mention of the control app but he does explain how Melco have gone about optimising their design for audio replay and simplicity of use, confirmation that an external drive can be added for ripping CDs accessing metadata from Gracenote and also why the N1Z is so expensive - just one of the 512GB SSDs costs the same to make as a complete N1A. He confirmed that the N1ZH is based on the N1Z but unfortunately got side-tracked in the interview and didn't get around to explaining how it sounds in comparison to the N1Z.
Alan appears to be a very knowledgeable and credible person and I would suggest that Melco should ask him to review and improve the information on their web-sites some of which is quite confusing.
