The Melco N5 Digital Music Library is the next generation of the acclaimed Melco concept for extreme sound quality from both music stored within the N5, networked music, and external streaming services when used with a USB-DAC.All Melco Digital Music Libraries play music into either Network Streamers or will play into USB-DAC, and can also be configured to operate without an Ethernet network. Melco N5 features all-new electronics, with a new mainboard, high grade low noise internal linear power supply and extensive pro-grade connectivity. Mechanical construction contributes to sound quality by minimising vibration and resonances, with isolating HDD mounting, robust steel panels and substantial aluminium components, and TAOC cast iron feet.Selected 5TB HDD drive with Melco HS3 (Highly Stable Storage System) mounting to optimise sound qualityPro-grade Neutrik ethernet connectorsEthernet SFP port for optical LAN connectivity Pro-grade Amphenol USB connectors2 x USB 3.0 ports and 1 x USB 2.0 port for easy backup, expansion and DAC connectivityEasy music import from CD, USB flash drives orHDD drivesMinimServer or Twonky UPnP server or Roon Endpoint selectableSongKong metadata editor

The new Melco C100 Ethernet cable provides the very best quality cabling solution for Melco libraries and other Ethernet audio-enabled devices. The C100 has been carefully tested and matched with all Melco libraries to ensure no loss of quality. It also benefits from asymmetric drain wire grounding, where one end of the cable features a ground point. Unwanted noise, either external or from connected devices, travels in one direction to the ground end, not interfering with delicate signal transmission.The opposite (non-grounded) end of the cable features an innovative ‘floating’ shield, which is not attached to the connector plug, meaning unwanted noise cannot transfer to connected audio devices downstream.

Stepping up from the half-width entry-level N100, the N50-H60 (6TB HDD) bridges the gap with exceptional performance and pricing. The next step is to the N50-S38 (3.84 TB SSD) which is Melco’s first full-width library to benefit from an advanced SSD (solid state) hard drive. The 3.84 TB SSD drive at the N50’s heart, brings the benefits of solid state storage and playback to discerning music lovers wanting a full-width (43 cm) solution to complement existing audio devices.Based on the original N1A library, the new N50 brings contemporary features and the latest Melco expertise to a classic design aestheticSpecially selected HDD and SSD drive for audio performanceHigh-quality positive-click front panel buttons Crystal-clear easy-read low-noise OLED display3x USB 3.0 ports for easy back up, expansion and DAC connectivity Easy music importing from flash, CD or HDD drivesIEC mains inlet with true electrical ground to define the source component as ground point Internal power-line noise filterNew PCB, layered rigid SSD mounter and feetMade in Japan

Melco N10 is a two box solution designed to improve sound quality by separating power supply and the head unit. Compact half-size head unit has selected 3TB 2.5” SFF HDD with all signal processing and connectivity, while the separate linear power supply is totally isolated from the head unit. The elegant solid aluminium casework has the familiar Melco OLED display and simple 4 button interface for delightfully simple operation and setup. New N10 Head Unit To realise the 215mm width half-sized component, the head unit has both newly designed internal electronics hardware and new operating software. The case is solid aluminium including the end cheeks giving both a sophisticated look and also mechanical integrity and freedom from vibration, further assisted by a complex and rigid internal steel chassis. The front panel has the familiar Melco OLED display and four control buttons – from this simple interface both initial setup – just language and time zone – as well as advanced customisation can be accomplished.  When playing music the OLED is very informative showing file name and data format.  All connectivity of external devices is also confirmed on the OLED. Playing directly from CD using a USB CD loader such as D100, or playing directly from a USB drive, the OLED and buttons give full browse and navigation. The front panel USB port is convenient for connecting either USB drives or USB optical drive to import files or directly play. The rear panel has two additional USB ports which allow for USB connected CD loader, or USB HDD for music import or play.  Additionally also Expansion of the internal capacity with either an IT USB HDD or the high sound quality E100 expansion drive to increase capacity of the N10 without any additional settings. Ethernet connectivity is special for all Melco machines – there are two ports.  One is a dedicated Player port that connects directly to a network player or streamer without any intervening data switch or IT devices that would compromise sound quality. The second Ethernet port is the LAN connection for access to the N10 for music transfer, control of the N10 local player from a control App, and for accessing streaming music services, activating direct music downloads, and making Firmware updates with just one click from the Internet. A newly designed power management system in then Head Unit ensures stable and reliable operation. Internal HDD storage The Head unit contains the small form factor HDD, specially selected for sonic performance.  The HDD is supported on the Melco HS-S2 - Highly Stable Storage System – to limit the influence of vibration. The HDD is mounted on a heavy stainless steel plate for damping heat-sinking, and there is additional 3 mm plate to complete the acoustic isolation.  Separate Power Supply Unit Housed in the same elegant solid aluminium casing as the Head Unit, the Power Supply has a toroidal transformer and extensive filtering to ensure a low noise supply. Connection to the Head Unit is by multi way cable with Neutrik connectors. The Power Supply Unit is supported on 3 isolating feet from TAOC.
