Review on Ultimate Music Experience with ELAC Discovery Music Server by David Nelson

I love this item. I love how you control it with Roon Essentials (although I worry if it becomes a very expensive paperweight when Roon goes out of business). The sound quality is fantastic and I love how Roon Essentials seamlessly integrates purchased digital music with my Tidal account. I connected it to my Marantz AV7702 via both optical digital (hence Marantz DAC is used) and analogue RCA. The analogue RCA output sounded decidedly and decidedly better, so the DAC system in this ELAC seems to be pretty good. I expected this result when I read the reviews before buying. If I had had a more expensive preamp/processor (like the Marantz AV8805) the results might have been different.
