Tuck Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I have recently purchased an ELAC Discovery Server DS-S101-G on SNA. I am having difficult getting the Discovery App to communicate with the server. Does anyone have any experience with this Server?
Guest thathifiguy Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 The Discovery app? Do you mean the Roon Essentials app?
Tuck Posted September 25, 2020 Author Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks Tarkan. Sorry , yes the Roon Essentials App. Hope you can assist. Geoff
BrownMagic Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 What is the error that you are getting? I use the Elac Discovery.
Skasey Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I use one of these units and had no issues with connection. First check would be to ensure that your LAN and WiFi are on the same network. I have several networks at home and must ensure that my phone or iPad for the Roon App is on the same network for connection. Second check is that you are using the Roon Essentials App, not the full Roon App as there is a difference.
Tuck Posted September 26, 2020 Author Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks Skasey. I was trying to load on my iPad and someone suggested using my iPhone instead. Using the iPhone and Essentials App I have been able to get to the stage of signing in and being asked to "add a music service". I am trying Tidal for a month and can login okay, but then I get "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid" Tidal is loaded on my iPad and recognises my smart TV, and Apple TV in another room, but so far not the Elac. Hope you can assist this dinosaur further, Geoff

BrownMagic Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 You have to ignore the safari error. Glad that you are able to use it now. Make sure you are updated to the latest version both on the app as well as the roon core. Cheers.
BrownMagic Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Anyone here using an external DAC with the Disco?
Skasey Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 I have been running both Analogue and Digital out from the Discovery into my Vitus Integrated amp with onboard DAC. Frankly, I cant hear much difference between the Discovery and the Vitus DACs. 1

Skasey Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 I am just using QED silver RCAs and Tara Labs digital cable, only because they were available when hooking up. Have not tried substituting cables to determine if there is any difference.

I am using Tellurium Q Black 2 RCA. I chose this after trying a few. Do not get a warm cable. Neutral or slightly forward will help.
