Two flagship Melco music libraries were launched with a mid-sized chassis: the N1ZH (HDD) and the range-topping N1ZS (SSD).
These midsize models introduced a greater number of design and technology enhancements to improve sound quality even further.
Upgrades including the heavy aluminium chassis, noise-eliminating construction and vibration-isolating feet, give the N1Z models’ advanced circuitry the optimum environment in which to operate for optimum performance.
