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.
