Some updates from R2800...

Today I whipped out my old forgotten X-Fi Xtreme Music which I bought quite a long time ago. It was slightly modded too (some caps replaced, opamp changed to AD8066).

I remembered it was slightly darker signature plus smaller soundstage when compared to Xonar Essence ST which I used earlier to test the R2800. True enough, it was a surprise finding that the darker signature tamed the excessive highs for R2800. Now I can leave treble at 0 (was at -1.5) and still feeling easy on my ears. The bass was a little bit toned down which left me with no choice but to increase it slightly to 3.5 (compared to 2 previously).

The whole setup now is much more pleasing to listen without getting annoyed. It did change the sound a bit, from being upfront to slightly laid back (almost V shaped like).

If I were to think of a redo the rating again, I think I will rate it slightly higher now, even though it took a step back in term of details. The reduction in sibilant is really day and night when compared between Xonar Essence, Digital Music SX to Xtreme Music. The only similarity between Xonar and SX were that both had the LME49720 opamp. I wonder if that alone is being responsible for the overly bright sound in the first place. Of course Xonar sounded brilliant with S2000 but I didnt expect that its the opposite for R2800.

Definitely liking it even more now... you can say it sounds a bit towards multimedia'ish now but its definitely more enjoyable. I can even increase the treble slightly if I want to.

Have you tried directly with laptop? Certain laptop is a warming source. Some people who complained that their ath msr7 headphone too bright and sibilant find that it sound better from the humble laptop.

Maybe because of the Realtek chips I don't know.

Time to revive this thread.
Anyone can compare the S1000DB - R28000? Sizes and bluetooth shenanigans aside, I just want to know in terms of sound quality which will prevail. I'm contemplating whether I should spend the extra RM300 to get the S1000DB or a R28000 + DAC (ifi NaNo iDSD) for the same price RM1000.

My advice is order the S1000DB, you will like the way S1000DB sound

S1000DB is more natural to listen to. R2800 is a studio speaker and it may sound boring with its very flat sound

Not to say R2800 is bad but it is not as interesting as S1000DB

sorry to be a jackass here.. but im selling mine
anyone interested? RM500 include box n remote.. condition 97% almost new.
reason? too many speaker

Just bought this speaker and found out noticeable hiss noise when I pause the music and quite annoying when listening at quiet environment..

Anyway to fix this? I tried another plug, remove all input cable also same..

you might need a volt stabilizer or isolator to cut down the hiss

it may help a little but not all the time.

if possible try another plug point but I doubt that would help and it won't be practical

I'm using Belkin surge protector with noise filter but not effect too much. I think the electricity in my condo is not so good, happened last time with my AV devices, some devices are very sensitive..

I saw your review at the first page and you said this speaker has noticeable hiss but when you play the music barely noticeable..

not related to inlet power. whatever hiss is the shielding of circuit board. do u plan to open up?

use aluminium foil stick to card board, use short wire to ground the foil on pcb.
then stick at a place to isolate power transformer. dont let any chance touching components else it burn away.

Have u tried with R2800? Which board u talking about? If u don't mind can u pls show me also how to do?

no try with r28 becos no sponsor.
only 1 pcb i believe.
if u bring it i show how

Hi,

Can you try to connect it to another source?
Sometime the noise is cause by the PC not the power source.

I tried already, even no source plugged also still can hear the hiss.
I think the hiss is character of class D amplifier, not because of faulty speaker.

Noted, will check with Edifier R&D again.
We already sold a lot of R2800 and this is the first time we received loud hiss problem, can you send the speaker to our service centre? suspect one of the IC not working properly.

With no due respect, but you lost the credibility to speakers review without owning some decent DAC and amplifier.

Without good DAC and amplifier, you didn't explore the potential of the speakers. Ended up just written some good words to it because you received a pair of free speakers.

Double post
