Elac Discovery Series WiFi Streaming Integrated Amp (Ds-A101-G)

Easy to operate and full of features. I'm using this with a pair of ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52s and it works great. It's hooked-up to my TV with the optical cable. I also stream music using Spotify Connect. I wanted to get a compact integrated system as my first foray into hi-fi audio and am happy to report that the Discovery system exceeded my expectations.I do notice that the sound is a lot quieter when using the Optical input from the TV versus streaming from Spotify directly on the Discovery. I have to really crank up the output volume to get the same level of sound. But potentially there is some setting which I haven't found yet. It's only been 3 days since taking it out of the box.The wifi setup was fairly straightforward. I couldn't seem to get it to connect to my 5Ghz channel, ony the 2.4GHz. So I'm not sure if the Discovery is WiFi 6 enabled? Again, could be user error on my part. Bluetooth setup was easy too.I haven't really tried to push the system yet. I've only had the volume at 45% (partly due to landlord constraints), but it drives the UB52s just fine.The app that comes with the Discovery is fairly intuitive and acts as a fully functional remote.Overall, I'm really impressed with the Discovery and would recommend to anyone looking for a system that's easy to use, encompasses a wide range of connectivity options, and is powerful enough to drive some quality speakers.

After constantly fooling with my iFi Room end point, this is a real joy. Just works immediately and has not failed once. Pretty decent sound also for a bedroom unit.

didn't work unsupported by manufacturer

this is my first sound system. never owned one before. i upgraded from what i thought was a nice sounding Riverwood Acoustics bluetooth speaker. man! what an upgrade. bought the fluance xl8s and bic RTR-EV1200 based on reviews. bought the elac DS-A101-G because i mostly stream music from tidal from my iphone via bluetooth. i will also connect an LG 65inch tv via toslink cable so i can enjoy perhaps theatre-like dolby sound. i would rate this four stars only if not for what i think is an excellent sounding amp. the elac app is glitchy. got it configured the first time i opened and ran the app. i connected the speakers and subwoofer first before first opening and running the elac DS-A101-G app. now i can not go back to re-configure it anymore.anyway, i bought it coz it seamed to have all the amp features i needed and coz of brand reputation. i am not disappointed with the sound. im not an audiophile. but i think this really sounds perfect! i think i can enjoy listening to music for hours and not get listening fatigue. enough juice to power the fluance xl8s and with a sub out to connect the bic RTR-EV1200.this is maybe the last sound system i will ever buy. i think im in heaven.update: found a hack, sort of. so the elac app on my iphone won’t let me go into configuration mode, even if i deleted and re-intalled the app.turns out, i installed the app on my ipad and voila - i can access the app’s configuration mode.so five stars for an excellent sounding Elac DS-A101-G!

Great amp but needs a software fix to make the app more useable
