Elac Discovery Connect

Greetings Curious Audiogonners.

The Discovery Connect is really a digital Swiss Army Knife product.. It is first and formest a Ethernet/Wifi  Digital and Analog output Device!! Somewhere on your home network you need some sort of a server ideally  a Music Vault those other servers work too, on a budget talk to me about the Elac 
Discovery Music Server that comes with Roon Essentials with the Ability to do 30000 tracks.
Think about 30,000 tracks that can be up to 3,000 CDs that is equivalent to 2 or 3 TB of storage on a conventional server.
But this is about the Discovery Connect Network/Roon Endpoint. I am calling it a Network Endpoint as it works with Jriver and Roon, I'm sure there is other software out there too that will work with the Discovery Connect.
Got music on your PC and want to send it to your stereo, perfect for $459.98 it sounds great analog or digital out.  You can drive powered speakers directly with it or take its analog out into an old school analog Preamp and get fabulous sound at a great price. Got a DAC with SPDIF in but no network capability, perfect the Discovery gets it connected.

The Discovery Connect

The Discovery Connect is the perfect companion to the ELAC Discovery Music Server or other Roon-Based music server. The included digital and analog outputs allow for a wide variety of system setups. Built-in Wi-Fi eliminates the need for an Ethernet port near your audio system. Support for Spotify Connect, AirPlay and Bluetooth ensures you will never run out of music options. Embedded AirX2 transmitters allow you to eliminate speaker wires when paired with our ELAC Navis powered loudspeakers.
