don’t know Meni. You can go to set up, network, and select the other mode. Direct was a setting by default on mine. The first hours i was a bit disappointed…
It’s too expensive, the vodka is enough for me about 300GBP
Mine is always pointing to network mode,I tried to change to direct but it’s always goes back for some reason…don’t know why
so all is fine! How are you changing metadata, specially cover albums ? it seems not so easy to me to understand songbook working.
Don’t know yet need help
try google then songkong for melco. But not easy for me…
previously I had covers on my all album when I used Asset on a pc with dpower sofwere, when I drop those albums into Melco some of them between 5-10% doesn’t appear,so how do I add pic covers for those missing ones
I ran mine for six months with the stock Naim power cable (I have plenty of these spare) to save costs, as I’d just purchased a lot of items (ND555, Melco) and thought it would be good enough to get on with.
But I’d auditioned it first at home with a Naim Powerline that my ever-friendly helpful Dealer thought would be ‘best’ - and I kept thinking that my now-purchased and owned Melco without that PL lead may not be quite as good. Managed for a few months to persuade myself it was fine - then broke and borrowed one to try just to confirm I didn’t really need it - and in never went back.
The PL on Melco tightens-up bass, improves perception of harmonic tone-structure and removes lots of HF noise - by comparison, as I did not think it very noisy but with the PL cable it was darker and quieter.

same for me. The right cover on pc, but not on melco. 5/10 % like you.
I`m trying to add a new folder here from this pic,nothing happens when I tried to save any changes…need help
you can try also Melco support. They responded to me the same day.
where can I find Melco support?
I’m keen to hear how you get on going forward FR. ‘Lack of Involvement’ is exactly what I found in 2 separate home trials of Melco severs (N1A/2 and N1ZH/2). Hard to truly define since all the cosmetic SQ parameters were demonstrably better, but the music just made me quit every track I tried long before it had finished. My Unitiserve, for me, won hands down every time for involvement despite being comparatively uncouth and unresolved vs. Melco. I’m aware that my findings are very non-consensus, but that was my experience. Please keep us posted.
This is what I use:
My two Melco Disks are configure to be a single raid 0, 6TB drive - lots of space!
Yes - the insistence of Melco pushing the File Share off and Direct Mode on makes it sound totally unacceptable and uninvolving to me - I’m sure many have assessed it with these set and made that conclusion.
Given my own system I did not decide to purchase something that ruins it for me, so something is different. I discovered the options by mistake - one by one I toggled each on and off and decided if I preferred it - especially over a long time in terms of wanting to play more music.
Some of these options make it ‘clearer’ and initially crisp-clean but by removing low-level information as I hear it. I did discuss it with Melco at a show and they said they would look into it - perhaps they should do so if they want more sales.

on the melco site. Then you have contact and you can send a message.
if you read all the posts, i find now that all the prat and involvement is back. It was the direct mode set up which gave that lack of involvement.
Now the sound is more refined, open, and with same prat as my past unitserve / linear ps.
The Melco was probably wrongly set up at your dealer place.
The melco n1a2 is a bit better than unitserve / big linear ps i had , which was already a bit better vs the uniticore.
The simplicity of use is also better, and i have no noises as from the unitserve.
I saw Lucinda Williams at Birmingham Town Hall last night. The set list included all the tracks from the Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album as a celebration of its 20th anniversary.
It was interesting to hear how this album sounded live.
Soundstage and location of performers- apart from a sense of spatial position, there was no sense of precise location independent of the whole.
There is very little micro instrumental detail discernible, nuances are in speed, emphasis, key changes, and emotional charge.
The last thing you want to do is to dissect the music into constituent parts, it’s all about how the music hangs together. Naim seem to have managed to do this better than other brands I’ve heard, the ND555 gets close to the live experience, obviously not in terms of scale or volume but in musical engagement.
I’ve found that some audio manufacturers are intent on extracting the very last bit of detail from the recording which has an initial wow factor but somehow misses the point.
I think you address an important aspect of the greatness of the ND555, the way in which it manages to present the music in a total and engaging manner, without perhaps going as far in detail (while I am even arguing that it goes far beyond what most do)…, i love the machine. And it shines even more with two times the PS.
Hush now - we don’t need to hear that kind of talk, thank you very much
