Melco Audiophile NAS

[maikeru]

Understood. I’ve opted for AIFF and this seems to work fine. I may try a different compression level for FLAC as well but the number of DXD albums I have is small regardless.

New question - Dela/Melco is now offering an optical conversion set for the S-100.

Where would this sit in the chain? Directly before/to the player? To the N1A? Or between the S100 and the other switch or main router?

Also what are your thoughts about their choice of multi mode rather than single mode?

(One more note - they released a new switch - the S10 - with its own external linear power supply. 600,000 JPY!!). ,-)
