Hello again!
Yes currently I am using Jriver 21.0.80 (windows) with Melco, but with some problems. Jriver runs on an Intel NUC PC, where earlier I used to have my music files on the same SSD, as well. I reset everything on Jriver and started a new library (Main Library),configured auto-import to read from the shared drive of Melco. Im controlling Jriver from Jremote on the IPAD and select as player N1 Devialet USB Audio 2.0 Media Renderer. Audio is connected from the USB 3.0 backside port of Melco to the USB input of Devialet. SQ is great. I have two problems, which I need to analyze in detail.
1) The moving cursor line in the bottom showing the length of the song currently played is moving back and forth sometimes and occasionally showing the total length wrong. This has no effect on the playback!
2) A few times the playback stopped in the middle of the playlist.
I can't really say anything more at this moment , whether these problems are related to Jriver or Melco (3.0) or any issue on my network or configuration. I may have more time in the weekend to check and keep you updated if I can identify anything.
On the other hand according to an email from Alan Ainslie sent to me today, there is really Roon development in progress. There were some problems and both parties are working on it. Melco can be Roon Ready in a few months time or even quicker. I tried Roon last year, but didn't like it so much mostly due to pricing policy and sniffing around your internal music library to create a profile. However if Melco starts supporting it as kind of an official app, I will try it again.
