CES 2018

Elac's Discovery

Jason Victor Serinus  |  Jan 10, 2018

Elac, which has been around for many more years than Andrew Jones has been designing speakers for them, has now released their Roon-friendly Discovery DS-S101-G music server ($1100), which allows you to play your own music files via an external HD or NAS. The Discovery comes with a subscription to Tidal, and a forthcoming firmware update will include Sonos integration.

It’s been around for at least a couple of years.

the guy at the Elac booth gave me incorrect information. Wouldn't be the first time.

Is this still the only thing running Roon Essentials? (the embedded version) <<— that would be newsworthy

Who is the market for this piece? It looks intriguing to me until I run up against the track limit, it's effectively asking me to dispose of half of my collection. Seems hobbled.

Not a problem for most folks, but a full Roon setup (without a track limit) may better serve your needs.
