ELACDiscovery Series WiFi Streaming Integrated Amp (Ds-A101-G)

Works good on 4 ohm speaker

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.

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

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!

It is class d amplifier, also better than chfi class d. That’s it. Don’t provide dac info. Not sure what dac chip used. Wifi and apps are very disappointed. It keeps being disconnected and room corrections sounds only cut the high frequency. I expect a lot of this amplifier because of major brand Elac, but you will be disappointed as you expected. Save money buy better one.
