Braced Sectioned MDF Cabinet
Two horizontal braces strengthen and stiffen the cabinet, helping minimize unwanted vibrations that can discolor music or movie content. The tweeter and top midrange/ woofer are isolated from the rest of the cabinet.

Custom Drivers
Both the tweeter and midrange/bass drivers have been custom-designed by Andrew Jones to deliver an exceptional audio experience that can’t be delivered with typical off-the-shelf parts.

Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofers
Woven aramid fiber offers a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio and damping over common polypropylene or paper cones. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended frequency response.

Deep-Spheroid Custom Waveguide
A custom-designed tweeter waveguide with a deep spheroid profile is utilized to improve directivity control and shield the tweeter wavefront from cabinet diffraction.

Intricate Crossover
A custom eight-element crossover with audio-grade components is implemented to ensure smooth transition between the drivers.

ELAC, a leader in premium loudspeakers and consumer electronics proudly unveils the Debut Series Integrated Amplifier.

“This integrated amplifier marks ELAC’s return to the integrated amplifier category. “ – said Chris Walker, vice president product development. “This new integrated amplifier solves two of the biggest problems with two channel audio: proper blending of a subwoofer with your main speakers and room correction. Our advanced DSP and innovative smartphone application provide all the tools necessary for anyone to achieve a true audiophile system at an affordable price”.

At the heart of the DA101EQ is a brand new BASHTM Tracking Amplifier delivering 100 Watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohm speakers. This new amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary to cope with todays’ dynamic movie and music content, this maximizing the efficiency and potential of the amplifier.

Capable of interfacing with a wide variety of audio sources, the DA101EQ incorporates seven discrete audio inputs, including analog, digital, asynchronous USB, and Bluetooth, as well as a dedicated subwoofer output.

Some of the biggest challenges of correctly setting up a two channel audio system are properly integrating a subwoofer and room correction/treatment. “One of the main goals with this product was to solve these two issues without requiring expensive equipment or a degree in Physics” said Andrew Jones, Vice President Engineering (who, in fact, has a degree in Physics). Utilizing the DSP technology already made available in our Debut series S10EQ and S12EQ subwoofers, we utilize the microphone already built into your cell phone (in conjunction with our free app (Android and IOS)) to measure the nearfield and listening position performance of your subwoofer and equalize the room performance to match the nearfield, therefore correcting for the room. In addition, by making an additional measurement of your main speakers, the DSP can now automatically optimize the blending of your subwoofer to your main speakers, eliminating the biggest problem facing the user. The result is a perfect blend of subwoofer to main speakers and an audio system that is tailored to your specific environment.

Along with a traditional day-to-day remote control our free smartphone application also allows for several convenience features such as input renaming, volume, transport controls for compatible asynchronous USB sources, and even a device health monitoring screen showing key information about the amplifier and your AC power quality.

Lastly for private listening, a front mounted 1⁄4” headphone jack is provided.


The DA101EQ Debut Series integrated amplifier will be available in Q2 of 2016 at a price of $599.00.

όχι, δεν το εχω ακουσει, αλλα και η υποκειμενικη γνωμη καποιου που το εχει "ακουσει" ακομα και στον "χώρο του" εχει μηδενικη αξία.
μπορω όμως να σου πω, χωρις να το ακουσω, πως εχει πολύ καλη μεσαια περιοχη, με "ξεκουραστο" ακουσμα, όχι ιδιαιτερα αναλυτικο, και χωρις πολλα "κουδουνίσματα".
οποιος το "ακουσει" και σου πει διαφορετικά πράγματα, δυστυχως δεν ξερει να "ακουει".
ελπιζω να βοήθησα....

ELAC ANNOUNCES THE DISCOVERY MUSIC SERVER POWERED BY ROON LABS

“With the announcement of the Discovery Music Server ELAC has solved one of the biggest hurdles in computer audio, the computer.“ – said Chris Walker, vice president product development. “Our new Discovery Music Server offers all the power of the most innovative music playback software available, Roon, plus more without the need for a laptop or desktop computer.”

The Discovery Music server is designed to be the heart of a serious music system offering playback of local and streaming music, rich multi-dimensional metadata and multi-room audio (support for up to eight rooms), all with an interface that anyone can master in a few minutes.

Keeping in line with quality music, Tidal’s lossless music streaming service has been tightly integrated into the Discovery Servers software. Content from your local collection and content from Tidal are presented in the same beautiful easy to use interface. Additional music services are planned for 2016.

Adding the Discovery Music Server to an existing system is simple. Connect the Discovery Server to the internet and one of the outputs to your existing system.

Navigating your local and online music collection is performed with the Discovery Roon App available for Android, IOS, Windows, and OSX.

Adding your personal music collection is a snap. Connect either a hard drive to the rear mounted USB port or point the Discovery to your NAS (Networked Attached Storage) device and the Discovery will take care of the rest, organizing and gathering feature rich meta-data for your entire music collection.

Expanding your Discovery system to other rooms is easy. Whether you want the full functionality of an integrated amplifier or a simple wireless speaker in the kids room the Discovery eco-system is ready to grow when you are.

The DS-101 Discovery Server will be available in Q1 of 2016 at a price of $999.00 which includes a limited lifetime device subscription to Roon.

η sound gallery πιθανοτητα να εχει καποιο απο τα μικρα μοντελα της elac, η λογω κοστους δεν θα υπηρχε καποιο προς ακροση?

"That's the Discovery Series Wireless Speaker module that turns the "man, that's just crazy! (see report) ELAC Debut speakers into active, ELAC app-ready streaming speakers. That's right, the Speaker module equipped Debut B5 speakers (target $499/pair) no longer need an amp or source. I'd call that nifty."

Εγώ αντί για flac κατεβάζω μετρήσεις.
Αν θέλω ροκ κατεβάζω class d+ πολυδρομα 20hz-20khz(-3db).
Αν θέλω τζαζ κατεβάζω λάμπες και κορνες.
Φαντάζομαι πως θα παίζει το κομμάτι που γουστάρω.
Γραφω εδώ την εμπειρία μου.
Κάνει καλό και στην τσέπη...
