@ Umetaro, can you share the link please. Its not on the Melco Audio website yet. Would like to read the release notes.
@ IanG-UK, to be fair to Melco, the N1 series have been around since 2014 (earlier still in Japan under the Dela brand). 2-3 years product life cycle is not uncommon for at IT product, even if not exactly inexpensive.
I purchased a Synology DS213 NAS with 2 x 3TB WD Red drives (fairly costly then) expecting that it would be good enough and would cater for any conceivable growth in my music library. Less than a year later, it was replaced / supplemented by the Melco.
For me, at least, given the resources available to Melco (or actually Buffalo, the parent company), it would not be a matter of whether but when they come up with new products/versions. So, that a Series 2 is now being introduced is not a surprise.
