Melco Audiophile NAS

[maikeru]

Hello Simon,

I've finally gotten ahold of my own Melco N1A.

Installed Minimserver 2 and logged in to my paid service..
Successfully installed Minimstreamer-2.0.3 and ffmpeg-4.1-melco-2.0

But when playing FLAC it doesn't always convert to WAV24 (it does for some, not others, I am unsure what the difference might be).

Setting: Flac:wav24 in stream.transcode


Ideas? Many thanks.

That fixed it thank you very much. BTW the N1A with SSD makes a lovely and noticeable change in my system. Bravo to Melco. I was a bit crestfallen with the S100 but this is a significant change.

I have yet to use the S100 in tandem with the N1A as I wanted a benchmark to my normal listening pattern. I wonder if the S100 might play nicer with the N1A in the system.

Note - I have been using the N1A as a 'dumb' NAS in my testing. If I were to connect my Lumin direct to the N1A (using the player out LAN) would the N1A be acting as a switch? or would it process any of the music before it reaches the Lumin? I'd prefer the former rather than the latter.
