To mark 45 years of Hi-Fi design and manufacturing, Japanese digital music library specialist, Melco, has launched the N10 45th Anniversary Limited Edition, a special version of its flagship half-width library. Limited to just 50 units, the N10 45th Anniversary will come in an exclusive presentation box containing an official Melco certificate, pen, chopsticks, coaster, notepad and USB drive. This special edition N10 is only available in Europe and will be notable for its champagne gold finish and capacity upgrade, from 3 TB to a 5 TB HDD.
The device also benefits from all the recently introduced EX Series upgrades, including the introduction of a powerful software suite, Melco Intelligent Music Library (MIML), plus vTuner Internet radio and web control (from internet-connected devices). Roon compatibility is available via a USB download too.
Like the normal half-width N10, the 45th Anniversary Edition has been designed to offer even better audio performance and comes in twin units - a head unit, with all the processing electronics and the data connectivity, plus a power unit, containing a low-noise linear power supply and power management.
With no standard IT components or PC parts, the N10 hardware has been designed and optimized from the ground up as an audio-specific device. It uses a new low-profile main board with the same RISC processor and architecture as the N1Z series, ensuring very low noise and precise data management, the company says.
Connections include twin Ethernet ports and USB slots and the N10 will operate with both USB DACs and Ethernet-connected players, even without connection to a data network in standalone Isolated Mode. The internal storage of 5TB can be upgraded via external USB hard drives and data rates up to 32-bit/384 kHz and Octo DSD are supported, as well as gap-less and marker-less DSD.
Importing CDs is possible by connecting an external drive - the Melco D100 external CD loader is an option here - and direct download of Hi-Res files from various vendors is supported. Once all your music is collated, backing up is as easy as plugging in a USB HDD and pressing a single button.
The N10 45th Anniversary Limited Edition is available in Europe only for now.
