Renowned audio reviewer Christiaan Punter of HiFi Advice recently tested the Melco E100A-H80, our latest 8TB audiophile USB drive, and described it as “the perfect match for Melco owners.” In his in-depth review, Punter highlights both the sonic improvements and technical refinements that make the E100A-H80 a clear upgrade over conventional external storage options.
Designed with Sound in Mind
Unlike generic USB drives, the E100A-H80 is purpose-built for high-end audio:
- 8TB of ultra-quiet HDD storage for music libraries
- Audiophile-grade circuitry designed to reduce noise and jitter
- Solid aluminum housing for vibration control and thermal stability
- Optimized USB output, powered by a dedicated ultra-low-noise circuit
Listening Impressions
When compared to both the original E100 model and standard USB drives, the E100A-H80 stood out with:
- Smoother, more refined treble
- Tighter and more controlled bass
- Increased transparency and lower noise floor
- A more relaxed and natural musical presentation
“It sounds free-flowing, more finely resolved, and more spacious… a no-brainer for Melco owners.” — HiFi Advice
Seamless Integration
While the E100A-H80 is designed to complement Melco digital music libraries and streamers, it can also be used with other audio systems via USB. This flexibility, combined with its sonic performance, makes it a strong choice for anyone looking to improve digital audio playback with a dedicated, audiophile USB drive.
