Melco Audiophile NAS

[MNG]

I found this thread very helpful as I was looking at buying a new NAS and was persuaded by this thread and one on the Linn forum to try out the N1A. I'm glad I did as the improvement that this unit brings is quite surprising and substantial.

Alan at Melco is a nice chap and he went out of his way to help me get things working - I had an issue where my streamer kept disappearing from view when connected to the N1A. Alan sorted this out with a firmware update which he brought round to my house on his way to a show. How's that for service?

Ironically, he was involved with developing the Chord DSX1000, which I own, as well as the Naim streamers. He told me about why the N1A does improve sound quality as well as the development plans that they have to improve functionality, which was all very interesting.

Overall, a very good purchase for me and I am very happy with the sound that I'm now getting. I'd definitely recommend trying one out if you are interested or curious.

Thanks Simon for your helpful comments in this thread and for Minimserver.
