ELAC DDP-2

ELAC  Alchemy    DDP-2  PRE / DAC / Streamer / HPA

Class A  Analog circuits  -  multi-DSP -  AKM DAC - HPA

Purely in terms of function, this is a 4-in-1 preamplifier with an analog signal path as well as a DAC with multi-DSP system as well as a headphone amplifier.

​

32/384 MQA-capable configurable upsampling and "selectable resolution enhancement" that, in addition to PCM, handles DSD up to 4X and works with Discovery, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and ROON.

​

The proprietary pre-circuit enables a signal extrapolation from 16 to 24 bits or 24 to 32 bits. Specifically, called for to achieve this is an AKM DAC (32 bit / 384 kHz).

The analog section uses discrete FET drivers and output circuits.

On the connection side there are seven digital inputs, three analogue inputs (XLR and RCA).

ELAC EA10EQ-G

ELAC  "THE ELEMENT"    EA10EQ-G  Integrated Amp / DAC

Class D BASH  / Analog circuits  -  DSP -  AKM DAC -  Auto SUB Blend - Remote EQ

The launch of ELAC’s Debut and Uni-Fi series loudspeakers called for a great-sounding amplifier that delivers the performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the ELAC name. So where none existed before, ELAC engineers created the EA Series. Starting with a clean-sheet, their design brief was clear: build the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifier imaginable; do it without compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price it so fairly that it becomes a hands-down choice, even when compared against units at many times the price.

The BASH™ amplification solution
At their heart is a brand new BASH Tracking Amplifier delivering 80 Watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohm speakers. This new amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary (with a little headroom) to cope with today’s dynamic movie and music content, thus maximizing the efficiency and potential of the amplifier.
