just remember as a reminder z-cinema doesnt really create real surround like z-5500D or those 5.1 system. They only create virtual surround it only sound alike but not 100% full experience. I tested before so i know

Guys, I'm on the verge of buying either DA5000 Pro or Logitech z5500 by the end of this week together with Asus Xonar D2x. That sounds almost perfect for me until I heard many of my friends said that z5500 will die sooner than any other speaker sets. Only one of them used the Logitech before.

I'm not like to listen to people as everybody have their own opinion but I read from the net, most of it were saying about the fuse problems. I'm aware that no speaker set is perfect but then then this speaker does not come cheap. It's RM1.3K. Almost similar to sony dvd surround system for god sake~
try google "z5500 problem", you'll know why.
*
all i can tell u is my speaker is 4 yrs old and the fuse never burn before not even once and my setup is like your friend paired with XONAR d2X

HUrm.. I know for the fact that it's only small percentage of people experiencing the problems. Just trying to be one step ahead of the problems so that I know what to do when I owned it. Hehe~

So I can say that you're pretty much satisfied with your sets. I'm planning on pairing it with Xonar essence, not D2x. I stand corrected.. I'm connect the system with optical cables.

Thanks for sharing your experience dude, if there's anything else, just let me know. Any piece of advice from anybody will be appreciated~ Thanks again.

EDIT: one thing I'm quite unsatisfied with the z5500 is that I can't make the bass sound any sharper (i'm sorry if I didn't the correct term) but with Edifier DA5000Pro it can be done. It's easy. Is there any tips to make the bass not too "bassy" if you know what I mean. biggrin.gif
*
u can adjust the bass or treble thru the sound card of XONAR D2X if u are unsatisfy wit the default bass

if u planning to use either optical or coax, don't bother to get expensive soundcard because u're not really "using" it..[don't waste ur money]
digital signal is not decoded in ur sc, it only pass-thru the soundcard to ur z5500 for decoding..
it has no different from using the mobo digital out.,.,
*
u can choose to use the sound card to decode and then send via optical. I am using it right now.
if u compare u can tell the difference of audio quality from passthru and decode by sound card

The best try replace the fuse first. If fuse doesnt work it could be more serious.

Hi guys, new in this zone smile.gif

i'm planning to buy a Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 which right now is the only card that can properly read the audio path from a Blu-Ray. The sound card only has a SPDIF out connection and comes along with a optical adapter.

Question is, will the sound card be compatible with my existing Z5500 5.1 system? how will the decoding work? through the sound card or the Z5500?

Thanks in advance wink.gif

Yes make sure u buy the optical cable. I am using optical and analog for my system

Lets hope my z-5500D stays loyal to me for long. Until today except the backlight text blurry abit everything is EXCELLENT.

If i turn off my pod and let it rest turn it on then the text is clear again.

Mine also 4 years di

there is something i would like to ask about my speaker Z5500...
1)sometime when i hear song, suddenly it come out with an buzz that are quite annoying..
2)sometime i dont even know what happen, it suddenly doesn't output any sound...

somehow the problem can be solve by off the speaker for awhile then on again...
is this normal?? anyone else have the same problem as i have??
*
Suspect some conflicts with the wires maybe it touches some metal thing. What output you are using? I am using optical cable i dont face such issue.
Like some forumer said maybe power surge or that buzz sound check whether any other electronic gadget or device near by?
