Forgive me, but I'm going to leave this one to Simon, as I have neither a Mac nor a Melco. I too needed quite a bit of help from Simon (including a new feature in MinimServer) to get FFMPEG to work on my NAS. David |

TBH, the main thing is I'm very happy with my system (Melco N1A with minimserver installed, Moon 380D DAC, Moon 340i amp, Sonus faber Venere 2.0 speakers). I'm always striving to further improve SQ but should probably just be happy with what I've got and enjoy the music with the excellent tagging features provided by Simon...(29-12-2016 11:29)Melco Man Wrote: Thanks. I kind of get it. Just not sure I totally understand about the 'space'. My files are stored as uncompressed FLAC and are now being transcoded to WAV 24. The 24 bit FLAC to WAV 24 must surely make no difference? The 16 bit FLAC to 24 bit WAV I can't get my head around as surely the 16 bit will remain as 16 bit??? |

RE: Sound quality
If you are transcoding FLAC to WAV or WAV24, you don't need to install ffmpeg on the Melco N1.
For other transcoding combinations that require ffmpeg, you would need an ffmpeg static binary that is compatible with the Marvell ARMv7 CPU that is used in the Melco N1. Unfortunately, I don't know of any available download sites for this file. There are instructions for building such a binary from source code in this tutorial but this requires some technical expertise. |
