Melco Audiophile NAS

Some similar issues with Melco Firmware 3.9. My N1 defaulted to Direct player connection with no IP address. When this was changed to Nework the setting was DCHP not the Fixed IP address I always use - luckily the IP DNS addresses were there just not selected. Two restarts and I was up and running. However, I use my Melco to feed two systems one with MinimServer and one with Audirvana. Once I tried the nobody/nobody p/w for SMB file sharing on my Mac I could mount the library for Audirvana which then needed a new password for EVERY TRACK played. In the end I had to delete the library and recatalogue. To keep my Audirvana playlists I had to rewrite the rules for every smart playlist and export the fixed playlists and reimport them - half a day's work because of unwanted p/w protection. MinimServer has been working fine with the new Melco App and my Devialet in the main system.

Has anyone seen anything about this direct wired connection for iPad or Tablet with the Melco directly connected? I can only guess this would be a USB connection to the Melco and an Ethernet direct connection to the amp/DAC.
