MELCO Music HD

It still is bad..had to use this for a few yrs now..still garbage..can’t get on internet to listen to qoboz

It still is bad

Completely unable to find its own Melco server. Multiple other apps succeeded. Mconnect, on which it is based works really well and finds both available renderers and other servers easily. Lumin, Auralic LightningDS, Arcam Musiclife all find the Melco server. The only one that fails is its own app. Waste of time.

This upgrade connects more quickly with my N1/A but initially crashed each time I tried to play something from Tidal. I then turned off cloud sharing for Qobuz several hours later( which I don’t use) and then Tidal selections played well. Turned Qobuz back on to test a hypothesis but the Tidal still worked

Love my Melco N1HZ Mk. 1, and very happy to finally have a Melco app, but v1.2 crashes a lot when trying to launch albums in TIDAL. If and when that gets fixed the app will be five stars. Update: New version v1.3 does NOT fix the TIDAL crashing issue, and when I try to launch vTuner, I get a pop-up notice stating “selected device does not support vTuner.” Five stars for Melco’s hardware, but I am downgrading this not-ready-for-prime time app to two stars.

This app is a disgrace. It’s worse than all the other apps I have tried so far. Hard to imagine that the makers of a great device would be so cavalier in releasing an app to control their own hardware. Shame on you Melco.

Finally we got an app that works and connects reliably. I have the N1A player unit and had the hardest time. Now it finally works every time I start it up. My request : Come on please add DEEZER, its the best HD streaming service next to Tidal which is too American in music style for me.

Love the Melco, first class bit of kit and true Hi end sound. for yrs Melco didn’t have an app to control their products, was surprised that a high quality product such as this relied on third party control apps. To start off I used 8 ball, the same as the dealership that sold me the Melco did. Then moved to Linn app, great. Eventually Melco released their own app.. At last, …. what a disappointment, their own app cannot find their own equipment on its network. Worked intermittently for a few months then got progressively worse, now cannot find its own server, spoke to Melco, they suggested a couple of changes in settings, WORSE, now can’t ever find my Melco. Have to ask why do they bother making this product when they can’t even be arsed to provide a simple app to control it, you need the app or the server is little better that useless. If I bought a high end pre amp and the remote did not work I would send it back and demand my money back. This could not care less, you bought it now sort out a way to make it work yourself attitude is shameful, what is the point of giving a free dedicated app that does not work. My old 8 ball finds it immediately, ditto the linn, but they are designed for other equipment and each have drawbacks. SORT YOURSELVES OUT MELCO, PROVIDE A WORKING CONTROL APP OR STOP MAKING SERVERS AND RIPPING PEOPLE OFF, SIMPLE AS. Only gave it a one star review as their is no option to give a zero.

I installed the latest version today and its worse than the previous! I am a visually disabled user using Voiceover. Buttons are not labelled which is a major hindrance. When using and it discovers my DAC, it raises the Voiceover volume to an unacceptable level. The latest release speaks unnecessary text every time one reads a line in the app which is frustrating. Please test the app thoroughly before releasing! Andrew Booth

Have now had two Melco units, two iPads (note cannot run App on an iPhone), three routers and three different houses. Melco App crashes most times I start using, especially on Qobuz. This has been going on for two years. Also, my new iPad just won’t see my Melco. Thinking of ditching Melco, maybe for Auralic. Don’t want to buy Chinese but, hey, if their App works, then sold!
