Ground currents within the USB environment that adds noise to other components in the Hi-Fi system. Internal batteries in Laptops have a floating ground and wall warts and 2-wire inline supplies have no grounding for interference rejection from circulating Melco's level of sophistication in power supply including true ground reference using 3-wire IEC connector and metal casework is not even considered in plastic On Standard solid state drives (SSDs) may degrade sound quality, Melco SDDs are carefully controlled so these processes do not intrude into music streaming Low-noise power supplies, separate regulators and true ground reference Since the typical background wear leveling optimization algorithms that are needed to prolong life The audio-grade duty internal disc drivesĪre run at a lower speed and there is no noisy fan in the unit. Melco writes to and reads from internal hard drives in a different way than implemented in standard computers. Custom hard drive and SDD control electronics High fidelity interfaces something which is never the case in the typical computer environment. Internal architecture designed for low jitter dataĪ proprietary USB-like internal bus architecture always keeps the data under rigorous clock control all the way to the USB audio connectors which become true Require varying numbers of clock cycles while creating higher levels of electrical noise and proximity interference that is very hard to completely remove becoming a problem elsewhere. Data is preserved inĪ single stream like a CD giving far greater audio data timing precision than complex multithreading CISC processors (INTEL) whose internal machine level instructions Melco uses a RISC type processor to manage the digital data with simple instructions executing in one clock cycle on one 'pipe'. Melco Audio products are specialized audiophile-grade source components dedicated and designed to stream audio data without compromise. How a Melco Music Library is built from the ground up for higher sound quality The digital samples it interferes with the DAC's ability to handle the digital stream. Sound is further degraded by the introduction of noise from several sources Ĭlosely packed circuits operating at high frequencies, bursts of processor activity, and power spikes from hard drive operation. The lack of precision creates timing errors that induce jitter within the audio samples.

Precision and internal USB data transfer may not be bit perfect unless the drivers are well designed and robust. Moving data to and from disk drives is optimized for speed over Tasks using an interrupt driven polling process to allocate processor resources moment by moment. They are designed to manage multiple simultaneous In general purpose computers and their operating systems, audio processing is never the highest priority. Why Sound quality is limited when streaming from 'computers', DIY based servers, or plastic NAS drives No computer hardware or peripheral devices required
