MELCO N1 FLAGSHIP SERVER
The flagship Melco N1 has been researched and developed from the ground up, incorporating a brand new aluminium chassis up to 5mm thick, a new mainboard, high grade low noise internal linear power supply and extensive pro-grade connectivity. These aspects add up to increased performance whilst retaining the most important goal:
Unrivalled Sound Quality.
The N1 improves on the fantastic N1ZS and N10 Melco music library products, incorporating the technologies learnt, and developed to the next level.

MELCO N10/2 REFERENCE SERVER
The Melco N10/2 is a reference level two-box solution designed to improve sound quality by separating the unit’s power supply from the sensitive ‘head’ unit.
A half-width design, like the entry-level N100, the N10/2 offers easy placement in the home, but with the sound quality benefits of the enhanced N10 solid aluminium chassis and upgraded internals, plus the linear power supply.
Furthermore, the N10/s is available in two distinct variants :
A 5 TB HDD, or a premium 3.84 TB SSD version.
MELCO N50 PERFORMANCE SERVER
Stepping up from the half-width gateway-level N100, the Melco N50-H60 (6TB HDD) bridges the gap with exceptional performance and pricing.
The next step is to the Melco 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 Melco N50 brings contemporary high-performance features and the latest Melco expertise to a classic design aesthetic.
MELCO N100 GATEWAY SERVER
The award-winning Melco N100 is the starting point to Melco ownership. The half-width design is easy to place anywhere in the home, and despite its compact dimensions, there’s a choice of 2 TB or 5 TB storage capacities, enough for even the most avid music collector.
Easy to set up and use, the Melco N100 benefits from simple to use front panel buttons to navigate the internal menus.
In addition, music playback can be controlled with Melco’s free iPadOS app when connected to a DAC.
For the US market, outboard Linear Power Supplies were tested as an upgrade to the stock 12VDC. The Melco-approved Plixir Elite LPSU (12V-4A) is available from your dealer.
MELCO NETWORK SWITCHES
Melco S10
The Melco S10 is the company's flagship data switch and comprises a ‘head’ unit and a power unit, separating the sensitive data-carrying areas of the design from the power supply. The two-box approach echoes that of the Melco N10/2 library, and offers the least compromise when it comes to ultimate sound quality.
The Melco S10’s head unit is based on a heavily upgraded Melco S100 network switch, and benefits from a greatly improved power management section, better aluminium casework and a rigid-steel screened chassis.
Melco S100/2
The second generation Melco S100/2 data switch creates an ideal low-noise environment for networked music libraries to operate in, helping to deliver the best possible sound performance.
Compared to an ordinary IT data switch, the Melco S100/2 offers extraordinary architecture, with a total of 8 ports for PC connectivity and other high-traffic-flow devices.
The second generation Melco S100/2 also gains an improved power circuit board with a carefully selected AC adapter.
MELCO CD-RIPPER & PLAYBACK DRIVE
The Melco D100 is a highly advanced Japanese-technology optical drive that reads optical discs, such as CDs, with great precision. Using a D100 to ‘rip’ CD collections onto a Melco library or hard drive, allows for optimum data transfer in archive quality. The D100’s Melco-branded circuit board is further audiophile-optimised to deliver the highest performance ripping from CD.
The Melco D100 can even be used as a high-precision CD transport into a USB DAC.
