asunakirito Just bought a unit. Just noticed that the volume reset everytime it's on. No way to save the previous volume setting?

Great finding you found there. What volume did you set it on?

On mine, if i set below 10 out of 50, (example: volume 9), turn it off and on will reset to volume 10. If I set the volume within 11-50, it will remain the same regardless turning it off/on via the remote control or behind the speaker.

If I set the volume to 35, it will be the same for all input (Bluetooth, Line 1, Optical).

Volume 10 is kinda soft volume for me. Barely can hear it. cool.gif
I just count number of times the potentiometer ticks. Max volume would be 50. The volume applies with all of the Edifier speaker I have tested ranging from RM150-RM800).

What type of input are you on and your connection setup? I wonder what makes it so loud hmm.gif

Using RCA to 3mm with external DAC, volume control is only on speaker side. Maybe because the speaker is too close to my ear.. laugh.gif I barely got space for it, luckily didn't being back R2800 sweat.gif

Could you try connecting the audio source directly to the EdifierR2730DB speaker without the DAC and test whether the volume is less louder?

I'm sitting just 15-20 inches away from the speaker and volume 10 is soft as a mice laugh.gif How close are you to the speaker?

What DAC are you using? Does it not have any volume control?

Just DAC itself with no control at all. About the same distance, in living room. DAC is Wolfson WM8501. DAC volume should be the same as plugging to PC soundcard with 100% volume.

Oh btw, how do you usually turn off the speaker? Using remove on/off or turn the switch at the back? I currently using the remote to turn on/off.

I turn the speaker off via the power switch when there is no sound being played.
Does it sound softer without the DAC connected to the Edifier R2730DB?

DAC sound much softer in volume compared to PC soundcard at full volume. My DAC (plug and play, no control) sounds about 70% of soundcard volume.

This 2 speakers are different beasts. C3 is 2.1 speaker whereas Edifier R2730DB is 2.0 speaker + studio type (flat sound)

C3 subwoofer (8 inch) hit lower bass harder and deeper compared to R2730DB.
The R2730DB woofer (6.5 inch) is similar to a subwoofer but in stereo mode. Pretty strange experience though.

For regular usage such as movies, gaming, music, pick C3 (save some cash too!) or higher end 2.1 speaker such as 530D.
If you lack table space, or you table is occupied with monitors in Eyefinity setup. Go with 2.1 speaker (satellite speaker are small)
For music editing, go with R2730DB.

From the Edifier R2730DB perspective, you can listen to the original sound of the music author creates from without the additional treble/bass that the speaker colors with.
If the music developer creates music from C3 that has extra bass in it, when played with other speaker, that extra bass will be not existent there.

I think 2 pins are balanced, 1 for common ground, the other 2 for something else.
Perhaps Edifier could provide us more details on the XLR 5 pin cable.

I have yet to auditioned Whafedale Diamond DS-1. Not much speaker shops carried it.
What speaker are you currently using?

You can check the speakers that I'm using from my signature section whistling.gif

I think Wharfedale Diamond DS-1 will be a little bit expensive, but it looks pretty stunning modern, soundwise I'm not sure though hmm.gif
