Mconnect and Bricasti


Wanted to give Mconnect a try with my Bricasti M3.  Downloaded the app but the Bricasti doesn’t show up as a connected device.  Roon plays fine. 
Thanks for helping an old guy out!!

Sorry. Missed the reply. Just shows my IPad under local server. 
I use both Qobuz and Tidal. 

Thanks for the replies. I sold a Cary 700 that did everything for the M3 with a network card. I think I have to set up a nas for different options and getting DSD to the Dac. 
So I can set up the NAS with the software needed as well as storing all my DSD files and play everything thru the network to the Bricasti? I have always had all in one players or dedicated streamers/servers that I could attach my files too. 
The NAS seems like the way to go vs a dedicated player or am I missing a part in the equation? 

Mconnect showed up Today.  Just tried it again and it worked with no further software/configuration   Definitely sounds different than Roon.  Have to do some extended listening. 
Thanks for the tips

You definitely want the Network card installed. Sounds much better in my system than the USB with a few caveats:.  The network card has the added benefit of  Melco's ethernet filtering and an Uptone EtherRegen w/LPS upstream . SoTM cabling on the Ethernet side and  Final Touch Callisto on the USB.

I can run Melco's native app ( Mconnect) only thru USB. So Tidal, Quboz , and local storage( Melco) are played that way.

Running Roon  the Melco is acting like a Nas. So Tidal and Qobuz are running thru the Melco > EtherRegen>Bricasti. This setup sound much more transparent and open.  Lot of variables involved but my personal opinion is the Network card is the way to go.
