i think some tax here and there+ distro profits will make it pass the RM100 mark definitely

Oh even the price alone passes the RM100 mark, since it's 40USD and current exchange rates go between MYR3.1~3.2 per USD. smile.gif Shipping from Head-Direct should be around 15USD I reckon, so in total it oughta breach RM150 shipped. No taxes for this by the way(below RM500 in value, plus it should rightfully be declared as a computer related device). Not sure how this works out for commercial purchases meant for sales though.

Hi guys, just wondering, im using a laptop, and planning to get a 2.0 speaker setup (thinking Edifier R1900TIII). Question is, would it be better to pair the speakers to an external USB soundcard, or a USB-DAC, or something else? hope u can guys can recommend some poisons. budget around RM300. Thanks!! notworthy.gif

Tbh, I think ur sound card is quite good already.
If u are going to use it more on music listening than playing games, then yes I think u should get a decent DAC for music.

Can I assume that La Figaro also has the similar sound signature of Darkvoice? >.<

Really feel like getting one but can't find elaborated review anywhere.

Is there any bright amps available for about RM300? Love the bass boost that the E11 gives to my TMA-1, but feels it's too dark sometimes hmm.gif

I agree with you, E11 is more to dark. E11 is using AD8397 and hard to change to opamp yourself.

If compare with JDS CMOYbb using OPA2134 (modded), cmoy give a really bright sound.
