Hi everyone

Basically a newbie to the Hivi brand but am doing some research online to replace my recently dead Edifier R1700bt

Am wondering has anyone compared the D100 to the R1700bt and would be able to give some feedback accordingly?

Would appreciate if anyone could give some comparison (as unbiased as possible)

Thanks

I do agree with you as the specs do appeal to me altho am curious to the following

1. The D100 is a non-ported cabinet design so I presume the bass dept would be reduced but I'd assume better control and detail, can someone confirm that (as it is the Edifiers I used to use are abit boomy as is even on stands (unballasted) so I can do with less impact but better detail)

2. The one appealing feature is that it has an optical in (previously used an ODAC to channel in audio from my PC to the R1700BT @ 24bit/96khz) but I'd like to know using the realtek onboard optical out what's the maximum bitrate playable thru Hivi's DSP as I frequently listen to SACD rips.

3. Are HiVi's sensitive to placement including distance from wall and toe?

Thanks

Thanks for pointing out the port, missed that out as most pics online only highlight the front part (tech sites....)

The bitrate is what I've been trying to look up as most reviews so far are basing on Spotify Premium or Tidal but kinda hoping current HiVi owners could fill in the gap

Yeah, seems based on what I understand now, it's going to be placement sensitive but it isn't a deal-breaker

Thanks but I think quite a few would disagree that a youtube audio playback review is something that one would consider as a measurable...and yes, I did saw that video

Yeah finally bit the bullet and bought it and man, it's one pair of speakers that isn't forgiving to bad recordings especially when you're playing back high bitrate FLAC files
