QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Sep 18 2020, 10:17 AM) both will actually work for you. Your A300 is a active bookshelf, you do not need external amp to drive it. You just need a line input then the speaker internal amp will amplify the signal. Oooo Ok thanks brother @kevinlim001 , now i understand. Depends on how you want to play it. WXA is an integrated amp (preamp + amp). If you are planning to upgrade to a passive bookshelf you can get WXA. The next time when you have a new speaker you do not need to get another amp. If you want to have a dedicated preamp (which only focus on signal processing) - you can get WXC. Make sure you are plugging into AUX out not pre-out else you are just wasting your preamp. If you like this audio quality coming from this preamp you can keep it and get a WXA/other amp next time when you are moving to passive speakers Lastly, i think you know that your A300 will work with direct connection to your media source with or without WXC or WXA For time being, i think i dont need to add Amp or preamp.. get used with this speaker first, in these 2,3 days, testing the speaker sound, it really good (for me), clear voices even when volume very low, and the bass also nice, and can be loud (if we want to),, sometimes i got a headache after listening to music with heavy bass.. (-**-) For now, i connect to my laptop/workstation via USB. btw, between USB connection and Bluetooth Connection, which one is better (in terms of quality) |

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 21 2020, 11:53 PM) USB anytime over bluetooth. Bluetooth is compressed format but nowadays it's so good most people don't notice the difference. Oooo.. ok understand... At first, I thought maybe quality is same because it use aptX.. [/B]What is aptX technology? aptX is a proven technology that compresses and then decompresses audio as it travels from a source device like a phone, to a receiving device like a wireless speaker, in a way that it can be transmitted over Bluetooth without damaging the quality. This ensures that you get the very most from your audio[B] |
