I keep my Master Files in three folder on my Mac (a: DSF b: FLAC c: AAC (legacy files from the iTunes era) – I do curate these files carefully on the mac – manually. This observation is part of my answer to your question. Did not take any measurements but it will be in the range of 1:10 in favour of the Mac. Well, the Melco ist glacier-slow with regards to analysing those 500GB. Can't believe that this is THE answer to my problem.ġ) LED is green = 1 Gb/s – so that's not the issue.Ģ) With the introduction of Songkong running on the Melco itself I was able to "benchmark" the performance of the Melco against my MacBook Pro for the very first time. PS I talked to Melco on this issue before: answer was sort of we focus only on sound quality not on speed. The Melco will use around 24 hours for that 500GB chunk – super annoying.Īny idea what goes wrong? Any insight appreciated? Also any copy speeds from you guys for comparison/reference more than welcome. Also have an Naim Unit Core which takes double the time (which ist still acceptable).

All will take around 2 hours to receive 500GB. I have teste this from two different Macs (2017 MacBook Pro, 2019 Mac mini) – towards the Mac mini, a Roon Nucleus, a Synology DS-718 and a Qnap HS-251. Copying the very same 500GB of Music takes approximately 10x (that's TEN-TIMES) the hours compared to the same copy procedure towards other destinations. I have a super fast Ethernet-only network. One thing that drives me nuts: copy speed.

Chronosync slow upgrade#
Love my Melco (N1ZH60/2)– even better now with the implementation of MinimServer (still at 3.9x – awaiting EX upgrade from the mothership).
