like Quazacolt said R2800

Bigger speakers means bigger potential in this case

ok thanks for tips.. will get this beast..

i got this beast alr..

first impression..mid as usually edifier did a good job..bass deep n enough for me..not bass lover

treble is weird..i hope the burn in can fixed this..

i want to use SC/DAC..which recommend..since SC no popular anymore..im looking for DAC..im interest with aune t1 mk2..is it worth or just stay with edi dac

soundcard is still good but you cannot test them. and they're pricy too

just use the stock DAC inside. only buy new DAC to fill your greed

Officially join the club... upgrade from R1900T3 mod

in addition to having the speakers burn/run in (personally im no believer of it but hey lol), consider dialing around the treble/bass knobs on the unit

i cant deal with the DAC on the R2800 (digital in), as with the s530D as well.
it seems that there's still ways to go before edifier DACs can be as good as the mainstream sound cards/DAC.

I think I'm going deaf

I'm starting to be more tolerant and less picky
Well at least it sounded better than stock mobo realtek with less electrical noise.

But yes Edifier still got a long way to go

hmm those realtek these days are actually quite good lol

in fact i had a hard time trying to find creative onboard sound cards (i prefer onboard since i got an external DAC if i wanted some serious listening lol)... even asus that have their xonar and what not? are using realtek even on their highend motherboards :/

Just a quick question. Is there any place where i can audition this beast?

You can audit it @ Viewnet or Sri Com in Low Yat Plaza.

Nice idea combining the r280 with c3.

Do you guys think combining r1800 with c2x or c3x will be good?

thanks.
the idea comes from the C3 being piss poor on mids, while the R2800 is all about that (being a 2.0 and all.)
so voila, let them compliment each other

I read power 11 review on c2x, milo can sound on the mids worse than c3x.

Really tempted to get the r2800 but afraid that it needs to be to loud too sound good. But r1800t3 only got two drivers, mids may not sound as good as r280 or r2730db which has the drivers each.

thats a common misconception for hifi requires playback to be loud.
while it is certain better to play loud (of course not excessively loud) as almost all hifi equipment CAN cater (not so much they need to be loud) and most people these days have a preference towards loudness (eg: a modern pop/rock song for example) which sparked a loudness war many years back.

So you say it all sounds good if you don't turn it to loud because you are living in terrace house with people nearby?


Some people say certain speaker are lazy in the sense that it need to reach certain loudness level to start to sounds good while other already sounds goods at low volume.

i do blast my speakers on occasion so long it isnt too late night/inconvenient hours.

however even without doing so it still sounds way better than the C3 at much softer volume

Even S2000 DAC is somewhat lacking. Harsh sounding.

I do think they need to be loud somewhat in order to reach the ideal listening volume. OK, perhaps my ears are getting worse, but I do always had my S2000 at 60-70% at least and my wife will nag. Thats why I moved them downstair.

C3x seems overpriced and not that popular compared to c3 though.

Do s2000 have back bass reflex port? If so do you need to put it some distance from the wall?
