Just got my X4 from Cyntrix. I must say the sound quality is freaking awesome even without proper burn in. Even my low quality MP3s sound much better with this set of speakers.

Still trying out the best configuration for x4. As it is still new, it is still not sounding as good as the fully burned in ones at Cyntrix.  sweat.gif

Yup, using 3.5mm with onboard sound on Asus MVF. Somehow it is not as bassy compared to pairing with my 6 years old iMac. Perhaps iMac uses better onboard sound chip  hmm.gif

Now i am redownloading most of my songs in FLAC format. Just tried out Zee Avi - Siboh Kitak Nangis. Sounds slightly better than my 192k MP3. (maybe becuz my onboard can't drive these speakers)

Thinking of getting USB DAC first since i am still noob in audiophile. Btw between T-muso DAC PCM2704 and Light DAC 24/96 Sabre ES9023, which should i buy? I am listening mostly to classical music, with occasional R&B and rock.

Thanks for the link. I was about to post my question there but got distracted by a youtube video lol

Anyway, can you share ur exp of the iDAC pairing with X4?
*
Hmmmm, Totally super clear, i sitting infron of com even though is a 2.0 setup but the sound is like set in the middle if i play song.
THe sound is very wide and clear and neutral not on the bright side nor warm side.
My putpose on iDAC is because i got Headphone and i got speaker i need a hybird DAC yet is portable, so i got myseld the iDAC.
If in future i would like to expan i just need to top up with another unit of AMp for my headphone

Am wondering, are there any external DACs for 5.1 ch use? All of the popular ones seems to only support stereo hmm.gif
*
not worth, if u get stand alone DAC is not very worthy... cause it sole purpose is to use for 5.1 channel
Get AV better like Onkyo/Yamaha

no idea regarding ifi products...
no use. X4 is market as nearfield studio monitor, not playback speaker. Myself i have not listened to x4, but got once purchase a pair of wharfedale monitor. It seems right for everything, except the dry sound which i dont feel comfort to listen long hours

hope u get what i mean
*
Well i pair my x4 with ifi iDAC,
it sound so nice, perfect combo...

But also.. theres lots of combo behind it

What speakers would u guys recommend for budget ~ RM 600?
Mostly for gaming, anime and some instrumental music listening.
Currently eye-ing on Swans GT 1000, the bluetooth feature is a plus brows.gif
I wanna ask, GT 1000 needs adapter to connect to our home socket as i heard it is china packaging?
*
Straight get M50W la,

If budget not an issue get X6 tongue.gif

From the KLAV thread I saw you were a fan of Dynaudio.

Too bad the Dynaudio active studio monitors are not available locally otherwise that might suit you better.

Wahhh gonna cost a bomb haha

But after searching, hmmm it seems to be quite reasonable, $500-699 price range /pcs for 5aMkiii
as compare to if Hivi x5/x6 where it is 5-6" sub cone which will cost 5k-6k also

havent compare havent know.

I do know x6 when listen it is blast onto your face and it sound clean

dont know how dynadio perform?

I do hear ADAMS active speaker, which is not bad =)

speaker no need to turn 15 degree to face you, the sound will blast directly middle to you
