If the cable from the N1A to the LAN switch is removed while audio is playing, the audio stops.

I believe that both of your statements are incorrect.
I do not remember exactly how it was with Melco N1, but when I unplug the patch cord from LAN port of my NAS DIY (it have two LAN ports as Melco http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.p...#pid328246) playback lasts for about 30 seconds - I believe it's access time intervals of NAS and Klimax to the router or vice versa to confirm network parameters. If to shut down the DHCP client service and to set static network parameters of NAS DIY, playback does not stop.
