About the DS-S101-G

The ELAC DS-S101-G Discovery Music Server supports high-resolution audio playback up to 24-bit/192kHz in formats including WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, OGG, MP3, and AAC. It features two independent analog stereo outputs for multi-zone playback, plus coaxial and optical digital outputs. The server connects via Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 for external storage or NAS access, organizing music with rich metadata. It includes integrated streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz and uses the Roon Essentials app for control on iOS, Android, Windows, and OSX devices. Multi-room audio is supported with wired and wireless zones, allowing synchronized playback on analog outputs and wireless endpoints. The device is powered by a 12V DC, 2A supply with typical consumption of 4.8 watts. Dimensions are approximately 8.25" x 1.875" x 4.3" and it weighs about 2 lbs. The DS-S101-G does not have built-in storage and requires external USB or NAS for music libraries. Playback modes include gapless, crossfade, shuffle, and repeat. It supports file systems EXT2/3/4, HFS+, NTFS, and VFAT. The product includes a power supply, quick setup guide, and Ethernet cable. Note: Digital outputs always output native sampling rate and cannot be synchronized with analog outputs. The Roon Essentials version limits library size to 30,000 tracks and does not support DSD playback. Some early firmware versions had issues with high-res playback but were addressed by ELAC support.
