Exclusively available at Len Wallis Audio, this innovative data switch is designed to deliver pristine audio quality by minimising noise and optimising data integrity. Whether you’re streaming high-resolution music or enjoying tracks from your NAS drive, the Melco S100/1 ensures every note is reproduced with stunning clarity and precision, transforming your listening experience.
Unique Features That Redefine Network Audio
The Melco S100/1 is not your average data switch – it’s engineered specifically for audiophiles, with features that set it apart:
-
Dual-Speed RJ45 Ports: Featuring four 100 Mb RJ45 ports optimised for audio devices and four 1 Gb ports for high-traffic devices like PCs or Roon Core processors, the S100/1 ensures delicate audio signals are isolated from bandwidth-hungry AV components.
-
Two SFP Fibre Optic Ports: Compatible with optical fibre components like Lumin streamers, these ports provide an ultra-clean connection, further reducing noise for superior sound quality.
-
1.5 MB Packet Buffer: Designed to handle erratic external connectivity, the generous packet buffer ensures stable, resilient data streams, even for extreme high-resolution audio streaming.
-
Audio-Grade Capacitors: The power supply implementation uses a bank of audio-grade capacitors to minimise noise, creating a low-noise environment ideal for digital music.
-
Switchable LED Indicators: Control noise levels further by switching off network operating LEDs, ensuring minimal interference with your audio signal.
Benefits to Enhance Your Lifestyle
The Melco S100/1 is more than just a network switch – it’s a gateway to a richer, more immersive audio experience:
-
Enhanced Sound Quality: By isolating audio signals and reducing network noise, the S100/1 delivers fuller, more structured sound with improved tonal balance across frequencies, as noted by reviewers using devices like the BlueSound Node 2i.
-
Versatile Connectivity: Whether you’re using Melco NAS, Roon systems, or other network players, the S100/1 adapts to your setup, ensuring optimal performance for all your audio sources, including streaming services like TIDAL and Qobuz.
-
Future-Proof Design: With external power supplies allowing for future upgrades to linear power supplies, the S100/1 offers lasting value and adaptability as your audio system evolves.

What Customers around the web are Saying
The Melco S100/1 has earned praise from audiophiles worldwide for its transformative impact on audio performance:
-
“The S100 slots in perfectly… swapping between my old Netgear switch and the Melco S100, the difference is clear – silence is golden, and you just don’t realise how much noise is introduced into your system until it’s gone.” – The Speaker Shack
-
“With the S100 in place, the BlueSound Node regains a fuller, more structured sound… swapping out the S100, you lose that refinement, and the sound is less satisfying.” – The Speaker Shack
-
“Adding the Melco S100/1 to my Naim Uniti Nova immensely improved the sound quality. I would definitely recommend this upgrade.” – Dr. Shahid Qazi, MCRU Review
-
“Melco S100 removes restrictions to performance, allowing the full benefit of optimised player software and tweaks to be enjoyed.” – Audio Therapy
