Melco dealers or owners

Need a little help please. Have not been able to get a definitive answer. I have a Melco NA1EX and want to use the Ethernet input in the Bricasti M3. I realize I still need the USB connected ( not sure why)   
Great thru USB but would like to try its with the EtherRegen in place thru the Ethernet. 
I have enabled file sharing and the Melco is in bridged mode. Not sure what I am missing here. 
any help would be awesome as always. 
The Melco is a great player. A big step up from the Aurender,Lumin’s,Cary and Auralic’s I have had.

Hello benzman!

I own a Melco N1A. My principal streamer is a Bricasti M5 functioning as Roon endpoint.

Only way Melco can function as your streamer is to connect it to a DAC by USB.

Melco functions as a high quality NAS via it’s inbound ethernet connection. Melco functions as a one port switch via its outbound ethernet port, which also functions as an ethernet line purifier.

If your Bricasti M3 has a streaming board, then it can function as your streamer.

Alternatively, if not utilizing your Melco connected to your DAC via USB,  you will need a network player (like a Bricasti M5 or Bluesound Node or  whatever) in play ahead of your DAC. The network player could be connected to ethernet cable connected to Melco or not. Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.
