(We just 2 new SILVER Melco in stock and more to come)    
Friends, 
My search for Music Server is over and so is for so many of our customers. Under $2000, you are getting an Audiophile Music Server with 4 TB of internal storage that sounds better than $5000 to $7000 servers (yes, I have owned / compared them with Melco).  I have owned half a dozen music servers: Modified Mac Mini, Linux server, purpose built (better than CPAS) Windows media server etc. Melco bettered them all. The last comparison was with a Stereophile Class A+ $7k+ media server that I had in my possession for a few weeks. That media server was not only difficult to use but Melco easily sounded better in one song. Melco has this "undigital" sound.
We can do a nice package price with Wywires USB cable - compared with much more expensive cables and has glowing reviews.
It is super easy to use. You can use your smart phone or a tablet as a remote or control it from your Mac / PC. Melco is easily better sounding than purpose build computers or modified Mac Minis. Melco was built ground up as a music server. The only surprising piece is the price. My highest recommendation! Melco is made by the same company that make buffalo hard disk drives, so they have access to those drives at the best possible price. The owner / designers comes from an Audiophile / Analog heritage. They made great sounding turntables at some point. 
Melco has all the necessary tweaks addressing RFI, EMI, Vibration damping, electrical isolation, data integrity, transfer and re-clocking. 

How does it sound - musical and un-digital compared to most servers out there.  
Please call with questions or make an offer.

  •  Automatic sample rate adjustment to match the capabilities of the connected DAC - e.g. 192 kHz is automatically downsampled to play on a 96 kHz capable DAC.

  •  Automatic conversion of DSD to 24 bit PCM for USB DAC that does not support DSD. (Manual setting in the Menu)

  •  The Playlist can be stored either on N1 (Mode 1) to allow the playlist to be maintained even if the App is out of contact,or the Playlist is stored on the App (Mode 2) when the App requires it. Please see compatibility chart.

  •  The Melco Local USB-DAC player can be easily controlled by your favorite UPnP control Point (App).

  •  The Melco Local USB-DAC player will play Music stored on open shares on the Network in addition to music stored on the Melco.
