Along with the aforementioned new feet, a new HDD mounting is said to offer greater isolation from external vibration.Īs previously mentioned, the casing of the N50-H60 is the same as that of the N1A/2, which means a typical 43cm wide box that’s available in either black or silver. Melco claims that the power supply fitted to the N50-H60 produces 25% more power than the PSU fitted to the N1A/2. Alan Ainslie of Melco’s Distributor, ADMM, tells me that SMPSUs can be built to produce very low noise, but they have to be designed correctly. The entry level Melco models have always used high-quality SMPSUs (switch mode power supplies), with the top-of-the-range units containing LPSUs (linear power supplies). The NA50-H60 takes advantage of a few things Melco have developed for their more expensive models, making these benefits available at a lower price point. A short demo against its natural competitor was all I needed to part with my money and purchase the newly launched NA1/2, I have not looked back since. My journey with their products goes back around five and a half years, having been clear from the start that I did not want to use a computer in my hi-fi system, the original Melco NA1 music server was the product that convinced me that time was right to migrate to a file-based audio system. Buffalo Technology is said to have invented the first printer buffer and has been at the forefront of IT ever since. Which gives them an edge over the competition. Whilst there are other manufacturers of high-quality audiophile servers, Melco is probably the only brand that is part of a group that includes a major manufacturer of computer components. The NA1/2 evolved into the NA1/2EX a couple of years ago. That, along with Melco’s obsession with reducing all sources of noise and, of course, clock accuracy. Still, one of the main features that has given Melco servers their edge over the competition has been the way they mount their drives to avoid such disturbances. It may surprise many that an audio server, fed by a hard drive, is susceptible to vibration at all. Confusingly, the new model uses the same casing and switchgear as its predecessor, the only apparent external change being the upgraded feet which are said to have improved vibration feedback control.
