The ELAC Discovery DS-A101-G is a compact, high-performance integrated amplifier designed for modern audio systems. It delivers 80 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms using a unique BASH Tracking Amplifier that combines a modulated switched mode power supply with a conventional Class AB amplifier for high efficiency and dynamic power delivery. It supports high-resolution audio playback with a built-in 24-bit/192kHz DAC and offers multiple digital and analog inputs including optical, coaxial, and RCA line-level inputs. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi (802.11n), Bluetooth 4.0, and Apple AirPlay, with streaming support for Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, and Dolby Digital decoding. The amplifier features advanced room correction technology called ABC (Auto Blend & Calibrate) that optimizes subwoofer integration and frequency response based on the listening environment. Control is facilitated via a free iOS and Android app, allowing full system setup and operation. The unit measures approximately 8.37" W x 2.12" H x 11.62" D and weighs 4.8 lbs. It includes a subwoofer output with AutoEQ, stereo preamp outputs, and supports Dolby Digital 2.1 decoding for enhanced home theater integration. The front panel has an organic electro-luminescence display and IR remote control is included. The amplifier is designed to be the centerpiece of a living room audio system, combining power, convenience, and advanced features in a small form factor.
