Surrey’s Melco Audio has given its entry-level digital music library a major storage boost. The new N100-H50 benefits from a 150% capacity increase over its standard 2TB N100-H20 sibling, with a whopping 5TB of storage. The N100-H50’s upgraded HDD is also the same audio-specific model that’s featured in the £7,499 N10 45th anniversary edition .
Audio specific storage
Each dedicated drive is hand-picked by the factory to for improved performance and is designed from the ground-up as an audio-specific device, eschewing standard IT components or PC parts.
Data rates of up to 32 bit/384 kHz and Octo DSD are supported, along with gapless and Melco markerless DSD. Control is via Melco’s Music HD app, from the front panel, or through approved third-party remote controls. The N100-H50 is also Roon Ready following a recent firmware upgrade.
Pricing
The N100-H50 will be available at the beginning of July priced at £2,499. The existing N100-H20 is also still available and priced at £1,999. Both come in a choice of black or silver.
