Looking forward to testing the new FW 3.0.
Do you think with FW 3.0 the Melco is SQ wise further ahead of AIR 3 again? I'm quite curious about the results of your comparison between the two.

Not a lot in it but I'm preferring Melco v3 to AIR 3 SQ-wise now. I was already a bit biased because I just prefer using the Melco day to day with a UPNP control point than my MacBook Air too so I'm glad I don't have to put up listening to the inferior option just for better usability.
I agree, I can also hear a significant improvement in SQ (more air, noticeably clearer and cleaner, more natural; as if there is less jitter...).
I really like the new FW, kudos to Melco!
I can't compare the SQ to AIR3, but I don't bother right now, just enjoying the N1A
Just curious - how does S/PDIF feature in your system? Do you not connect N1A to you Devialet via your Audioquest USB cable?
