Melco adds Qobuz Downloader to EX Series music libraries

Melco Audio has released new firmware bringing Qobuz Downloader to its current range of EX Series music libraries.

The new firmware version 4.20 allows users to browse and directly download Hi-Res Audio files using the Qobuz Downloader. In addition, the update offers a number of other improvements, including enhanced media server stability, additional markerless DSD compatibility with a range of USB DACs and updates for Melco music libraries already featuring firmware version 4.10.

The new firmware will be pre-installed on all new Melco digital music libraries and is available immediately for owners of existing EX Series machines, plus customers who have updated their Melco music libraries to EX specification, unlocking their full potential.

The Qobuz Downloader offers access to thousands of tracks in high-res and CD quality, which can be downloaded directly to Melco music libraries and stored for playback.

Melco Audio’s UK General Manager Dan Raggett described the free over-the-air update as a “Fantastic proposition for music lovers.”

He said: Qobuz is a well-known and highly regarded resource, offering both access to streaming and download content. The Qobuz Download library gives Melco customers access to thousands of artists, albums and hours of high-quality music.”
