In the Melco app, I logged on to my Qobuz account and gained instant access to my Qobuz Favorites. The Melco also offers access to internet music sources: Tidal, Qobuz, and vTuner Internet Radio. This is good to know but perhaps not important: If you're going to buy a device with 3.84TB of internal storage, you might as well use it. Navigation of music stored on those external libraries was adequate, but not as convenient as with the resident N50 library. For those, the N50 relies on embedded metadata, which may not match up with the N50's display structure. SongKong doesn't function with external libraries. See Jim Austin's sidebar.įor local files, including files on USB-connected drives, content can be organized with a Melco-optimized version of SongKong, 'an intelligent music tagger app designed to make the task of managing, organizing and cleaning up your digital music collection easy.' This retagger is downloaded onto the N50 and, after customizing it or using one of several 'standard' options, it will repair and reconfigure your library. So, while the N50 Music Library, with its dedicated library, looks very much like a networked music server, it doesn't work as I expected. MELCO USB Local Player is compatible with many other UPnP/DLNA/OpenHome app also, not only this Melco app.' I searched for another Melco app, one that did support the network connection, but I didn't find one. If you need an App to control a Network Player (Streamer) connected to Melco this App is not suitableplease consider to use the Network Player own app, or mConnect Player HD app.

Investigating, I found a note on the download page for the app at the Apple App Store: 'This free App is designed for the MELCO USB Local Player. Because it provides a second, dedicated Ethernet port, the N50 can ensure the integrity of that digital waveform.īut when I tried connecting the exaSound s88the only network-enabled DAC I have in the houseit didn't show up on the Melco app. That means the server device cannot guarantee the integrity of the Ethernet signal. One of the N50's more interesting featuresit's found, I think, on all Melco Music Librariesis the dedicated Ethernet output labeled 'Player.' Computer-based server devices (including, for example, the Roon Nucleus and Nucleus+) have a single Ethernet connection, so they must be connected to a network-capable DAC via a network switch.

Melco has a long list of compatible devices on its website. The Melco requires that the attached DAC be UAC2 compliant. I then tried connecting my exaSound s88 to the N50, also by USB, but the two devices failed to communicate.

I heard music, but the tracks were not routed to the proper channels/speakers and there was noise in unused channelsthe Melco N50 is not a multichannel device. I then selected some multichannel files just to see what would happen. With stereo tracks, the N50/Okto combo was just super.

I connected the N50 to my Okto DAC8 Pro multichannel DAC.
