Japan’s Melco Audio has launched its latest flagship SSD-based digital music library.

The the N1-S38 stems from a ground-up design with a new platform, casework and power supplies.

Featuring a new mainboard, mains transformer, power supply and local regulators, the N1-S38 houses an audio-specific custom 3.84 TB SSD drive that’s directly connected to the data path without any intervening RAID controller.
