BT one convenient, but make sure you dont suffer the latency

R17000BT.
I have the 1280t. Which is fine. But if you have extra budget. Go for r17009bt.

I'm using Edifier R2000DB for my desktop PC.

Sounds good but a bit boomy since I didn't leave a lot of space behind it to the wall and it has a rear firing bass port.

3.5" out mean it use the tv dac.
optical out means you need to buy an external dac, which can cover from crap, great to snake oil.
the 1280db have build in dac.

But TS is getting 2.0 PC speakers not 5.1

Whether optical or 3.5mm stereo output, I don't think he can tell much difference.

Really n00b here. I bought a very cheap dac before. Very low volume from tv optical to dac to rca speaker. Friend says i need amp.

So i think better i got optical to speaker with optical port.

dac is not amplifier.
if it says amplifier, it probably a headphone amp.
you need to output it to an amp like in the link above.

but seller is china, so careful it might take a while to arrive.
