mind telling me how many audio ports does your PC have?

as long as it has 3(green,pink,blue) ports or 6 ports will do

RM1k

Edifier DA5000PRO
Edifier HCS5640

or

Edifier S550
Logitech Z906

i only see 5 ports but i definitely know there is a green(which i am using for my z506 to pc), blue and pink smile.gif

i was thinking of the logitech z906 for ease of mind but for that price range, i heard people say the bass and musical performance isn't so nice and can get something better in a similar price range yawn.gif

and that's why I named Edifier S550 in the list

those 3 ports are more than enough for a surround channel wink.gif

after googling about it, i see that people say it's good for pc but when it comes to console games,it's gonna be a bit tough. is it true?and also,about the 500W, DTS and THX, do they really mean anything or is it just a marketing gimmick? icon_question.gif

I know it's going to be tough on PS3 because it only supports hdmi audio or optical audio

S550 doesn't support digital audio
DTS is... I forgot lol

but THX is a certificate only and that is all.

say i connect the cable to my TV, is it possible to stream audio to HDMI for both PS3 and PC?as I'm using tv as a pc monitor and for consoles as well with 2 separate HDMI slots utilized :3

that would make everything so much easier wink.gif

does your TV supports 5.1 surround sound? if yes then you can rely on tv to channel the audio to speakers

if not... then I dunno how to help you sweat.gif

you have a point, i didn't think about that shocking.gif
anyways,thanks, now leaning towards the S550 more than the Z906 smile.gif

planning to purchase a 5.1 speakers to replace my logitech z506 that recently died out. with a budget of RM500, what do you guys think I should get?

I have been considering the Edifier R501, Divoom Comet D1 & D2 but I'm not sure if Divoom is a good brand or not (as in, would it last long or spoil in less than a year) rclxub.gif

on a side note, does anybody know where to find the edifier R501? a lot of the dealers in this forum doesn't seem to want to carry this item cry.gif

You can try http://www.inter-asia.com.my/
Alex Woon is the GM, they're the Edifier distributor in Malaysia and they do sell Edifier speakers. I've talked to him before, when I was surveying for new speaking while my precious Altec Lansing's fate was still in the winds, he's a pleasant guy and he knows what he's selling.

If you're not sure, you can even visit them for testing.  biggrin.gif
