Melco /Dela Audiophile NAS / streamer / player

Consolidating from another thread:

What I found experimenting with the Devialet over the weekend was that it really shines and goes to a whole new level with the better digital source and cabling you gave it. My favorite out of the Lumin digital bnc (requiring a bnc to coax adapter), Auralic Aries (tried usb, aes/EBU and coax), MacBook Pro (usb) and T+A PDP3000HV (coax) was the T+A PDP3000HV. The differences between digital sources, cables, etc. was dramatic.

The muckety mucks over on the Devialet Chat forum (who know this product inside and out) tend to love the TotalDAC Server via AES/EBU. Would love to try that.

Those same guys have compared the TotalDac D1 Server vs the Melco N1A/N1Z NAS, which can now function as a network player/streamer too (uPnP compatible) but with USB output only. Used with the Devialet, the N1Z, the top model, beats the TotalDac Server. The N1A is comparable to the TotalDac server - probably a points decision depending on the user.

No distributor in my country yet but trying to meet the Buffalo sales guy to see if I can buy direct from Japan.

Apparently, one can now install MinimServer on it and use the Lumin app too. Simon from MinimServer is impressed by Melco but is puzzled as to why it should and does sound better.
