Ambitious asking price.
At £3,499, this sits above the typical used GBP range I’d expect from the recent comps, which cluster around roughly £1,977 to £3,256 with a median near £3,001. So it’s not outrageous if the SSD upgrade, cosmetics, and warranty-like confidence are all there, but it is still priced at the top end and should be negotiated unless it’s truly mint and fully boxed.
Before buying, verify the SSD health, total runtime, and whether the unit has been updated and properly reset. Also confirm the original PSU, remote, packaging, and any dealer-service history are included; with network streamers/server-style Melco units, missing accessories or an old, heavily used drive can quickly turn an “excellent” listing into a maintenance headache.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
