By focusing the functionality on music, the DELA only offers the features you need making it not only very easy to use, but it offers improved reliability and sound quality. It does this with an ultra-low jitter internal data clock and buffers with a low noise Ethernet interface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N1A 2EX has a dedicated PLAYER Ethernet port. This allows connection directly to the network Streamer or Player without any data switch in the signal path which would damage the music data. This direct connection concept is unique to DELA. The Ethernet purifier between the LAN and PLAYER ports ensures that the Player receives only clean and accurate data, all packets are timed with low-jitter precision and all unwanted traffic is blocked. LAN lights can be disabled for the highest possible data integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two methods of operation – Network Mode is the default and allows a Tablet connected to the Wi-Fi to control the player as normal.  But for ultra-pure music playback DIRECT MODE can be selected – in this case, there is no need for any external Ethernet or IT components, and the Melco acts as DHCP server to the Player. Browsing and control are then ACHIEVED from the player front panel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2EX specification is a further development on their MK2 with a primary focus on curating your music library allowing the ease of navigation within Classical and Jazz genres (such as searching through composers, conductors and soloists, previously incredibly difficult when they're all defined as 'artists')\u003c\/span\u003e. The N1A Player supports PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD up to 11.3 MHz Quad DSD and includes automatic sample rate adjustment to match the capabilities of the connected DAC e.g.192 kHz is automatically downsampled to play on a 96 kHz capable DAC. It also offers conversion of DSD to 32 bit PCM for a USB DAC that does not support DSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are many improvements internally over the original N1A. To further reduce internal noise there is a new capacitor bank to isolate the medical grade power supply and a built-in power supply noise filter. The newly selected HDD's sit in vibration isolating cradles and offer increased capacity, 2 x 3TB = 6TB.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA front-panel USB 3.0 port makes importing from a USB stick or USB drive very convenient and is in addition to 3 rear USB 3.0 ports for Easy Backup, Easy Expansion, Easy Play and Easy import.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrahams recommend you partner this Server with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"chord-qutest\" title=\"Chord Qutest DAC\"\u003e Chord Hugo Qutest DAC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Contact Grahams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.grahams.co.uk\/contact\" target=\"_self\"\u003econtact\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eus to arrange a demonstration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable align=\"\" class=\"mceEditable\" height=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN1A\/2EX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupport file (Server)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDSF, DFF, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, AAC, MP3, WMA, OGG, LPCM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupport file (Player)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDSF, DFF, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, AAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSampling rate (Server)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.1K, 48K, 88.2K, 96K, 176K, 192K, 384K, 2.8M, 5.6M, 11.2M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSampling rate (Player)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.1K, 48K, 88.2K, 96K, 176K, 192K, 384K, 2.8M, 5.6M, 11.2M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBit rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-32bit (PCM), 1bit (DSD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedia Server\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwonky Media Server\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLAN (1000BASE-T)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer (1000BASE-T)\u003cbr\u003eBackup (USB 3.0, rear panel)\u003cbr\u003eExpansion (USB 3.0, rear panel)\u003cbr\u003eUSB 3.0 (rear panel)\u003cbr\u003eUSB 3.0 (front panel)\u003cbr\u003eUSB-DAC (USB 2.0, rear panel)\u003cbr\u003eGround connectable bolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 W x1 with capacitor banks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x 3TB HDD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium front panel \u0026amp; Metal chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e436 x 62 x 352 mm  (17.2 x 2.4 x 13.9 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.9kg (15.2 pounds)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DELA","offers":[{"title":"Aluminium","offer_id":31229411688490,"sku":"AKO1-1","price":2749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Aluminium","offer_id":31229411721258,"sku":"AKO1-2","price":2749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/3896\/products\/Melco_N1A_Front.png?v=1579507726","url":"https:\/\/shop.grahams.co.uk\/products\/dela-audio-n1a2ex-server","provider":"Grahams Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
