At £2,600, this sits clearly above the recent used market: versus a £1,751 median and £2,437 75th percentile, it’s a touch ambitious rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly out of line for a sought-after network switch in clean condition, but buyers should expect to pay for convenience and presentation here.
That said, this is a well-regarded piece for listeners who want a more refined digital front end, with the usual appeal of better isolation and a tidier presentation than a generic computer-network switch. If the power cable is included and the unit is genuinely clean, the main upside is getting one that’s ready to drop in without hunting for extras. At this price, I’d want strong condition and confidence in provenance.

Melco, standing for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company, traces its origins to 1975 in Nagoya, Japan, where audiophile Makoto Maki founded the brand amid the vibrant audio scene. Starting with a retail outpost called the Mel Shop in the Ame-Yoko Radio Center, Maki overcame early financial hurdles by fostering a community for enthusiasts, blending commerce with innovation. This heritage of passion and perseverance propelled Melco from modest audio manufacturing into a powerhouse, eventually evolving into the Buffalo group while retaining its audiophile roots.
The brand's early focus centered on high-fidelity components, most notably turntables that redefined music reproduction standards upon their 1980 UK debut. After pivoting to computer peripherals, Melco revived its hi-fi legacy around 2014, now specializing in audiophile-grade networked audio solutions. These include music servers, NAS drives, Ethernet switches, and digital streamers, engineered for seamless hi-res playback without the pitfalls of standard computing gear.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Melco commands respect among discerning buyers for its rigorous R&D and uncompromised digital source performance. Revived products echo the excellence of its vintage forebears, earning accolades from hi-fi press and solidifying its role as a boutique leader in streaming and storage. Collectors and modern streamers alike value its Japanese precision, now under DELA Inc. for its 50th milestone.
