  • haha. Bumili ako niyan kasi naka tsempo ako ng murang AT2035, nabili ko ng 6k instead of the 8-9k na usual na benta niya. Mas mura pa nga siya kesa dun sa mas sikat na AT2020.
    EDIT: Nakabili ako nung 9.9 nung Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen for 5400+, combination ng CC discount, 9.9 Discount tsaka mga iba pang coupon. From 6970 naging 5400. hehe. not bad.

    Ang isang issue pala jan kay scarlett solo, yung main mic input niya, XLR 3-Pin, so need niyo pa ng adapter pala. Though alam ko, magagamit niyo naman yung instrument input for a normal mic. Mas mahina lang ata yung labas ng mic niyo dun? May volume knob naman to adjust so baka not a big deal?

    Ay, pwede niyo rin try, schiit fulla 2. Abroad mang-gagaling, kasi sa US lang nagbebenta si Schiit. Yun daw panalo for Dac/Amp with mic input for under 100 usd. Baka di naman super mahal ng Shipping cart nun.

    Check niyo sir baka may nagpapa 'Sa-"Buy"' sa marketplace or anywhere.

  • I'm upgrading my 5.1 setup for pc and android tv from logitech x-540. Currently considering z906 but upon seeing more modern options such as onkyo where there arc and bluetooth are built in, I'm having second thoughts. Any opinions or suggestions? Also planning to get a ps5 at some point pag normalized na ang supply.

    By the way, this will be for my 11sqm room so not looking for something too fancy.

    planning to connect an amplifier to my desktop pc. red,white rca lang yung provision ng ampli. pero yung pc meron syang 5.1 then meron din syang spdif and orange rca - per checking coax audio daw ito... yung 5.1 dun naka plug si headphones+mic, plan ko pong iplug si ampli dun sa spdif or coax, kaso all i see online, is yung converter, gusto ko sana straight up cable lang. possible po ba? may ganun po bang cable?

    spdif to rca / coax to rca


    SPDIF/COAX is digital, while RCA is analog. Different signaling systems, you need a converter device in between.

    I read good things about Schiit Fulla, baka eto na nga lang pagipunan ko, hehehe.
  • Hi, not sure if this allowed since some threads here don't allow posting vendors, but this is mostly just for a reliability inquiry. Either way if it isn't I'd be happy to remove the post.

    Has anyone bought from this store before? I know it's from China but this HD800S price is very comparable to US rates:

    <click here for link>

    Store feedback looks good, but I'm mostly concerned about local warranty. I was able to claim warranty here locally for an HD700 I purchased from the US, so I'm wondering if that applies here as well.

    Thanks!
  • Yup, legit naman yang store na yan. I've bought several audio equipment from that shop already. Halatang galing China ang business nila kasi yung sasagot sayo sa inquiry mababasa mo yung influence ng google translate sa sentence construction nila.

    Matagal lang delivery kaya baka mainip ka.

    No problem sa delivery time, just wanted to make sure they're legit. I did inquire about warranty and the person replied in both Chinese and Google Translated English, so I'm satisfied. Thanks for the confirmation!
  • For the price compared to a more branded PC speakers, this is bang for the buck in price and sound quality...

  • Went ahead and got the HD800S from that store. Fingers crossed!
  • masters, ask ko lang yung speaker na gamit ko, galing sya sa isang stereo, bumili lang ako ng power amp. pagcheck ko sa likod ng speaker, nagtaka ako may 4 na wires sya, ang alam ko lang kasi is red and black, pero ito may additional 2 wires - gray and blue... san kaya ito i kokonek?? yung red and black lang kasi yung naka connect sa amp.
  • Mga sir any recommendation for pinakamura and decent na desktop DAC with optical out? will mainly use for weekend soundtrip lang and movies. will just drive my trusty old m30x as output pero pag pwede mag ingay saksak ko din sa R1280DB na bookshelf speakers.

    Thanks!
  • @tekken_Zaibatsu

    Sir, connect the gray together with the red (hand twist) and the blue with the black one. assuming na 4 slots (2 red and 2 black) lang yung amp mo.

    pero pa confirm na rin po mga boss... :)
  • may nakagamit na ba dito ng pioneer dm 40 or any comparable edifier speaker para dito?...
  • check mo edifier r1700bt or edifier r1700bts,
    may showroom ang edifier sa megamall kung malapit ka megamall
  • how about edi r1280dbs + t5?
  • guys ano workaround dito? salamat sa sasagot

  • @3570K

    sir, not yet tried your suggestion, pero parang hindi uubra yun kasi para sa low and high yung wires pero yung amp high lang ang meron... di bale working naman, di lang nagana yung maliit na speakers, malamang dun yung low... tnx boss..
  • @bro_28
    tama naman yung sabi nung comment, water soluble adhesive (not sure kung kasama dun sticky tacks.) and pull it. then carefully wipe with wet wipe.
  • overkill kaya ang onkyo s5915 for a 10-11 sqm room? currently planning to get a 5.1.2 system with atmos

  • Guys, may idea ba kayo paano ang compatibility ng amplifier sa speaker (as in ratio & proportion ba yun?). Example: if 200W power ng speaker mo, ano dapat naman ang wattage ng amplifier mo na pwedeng ikabit/gamitin? Thanks in advance.
  • Sharing lang ng audio setup sa studio ko:




    Sounds really good especially sa movies and music, plugged in sa Aune S6. Nakahook up din si speaker setup sa 65A80J

  • @raphaelcatap

    Nice! Panalo yang SVS subwoofer.
  • medyo ot.

    i recently acquired a topping D50. plano ko sana gamitin headphones ko (Fidelio X2HR). problem ko ngayon is, walang headphone out si D50. pwede ko ba i connect si dac-x6 sa topping d50? kung pwede ano need na cables. salamat




    -- edited by labrat on Jan 14 2022, 06:53 AM
  • @labrat: not sure as both dac-x6 and d50 eh rca ang out... ang pc/usb, coax and optical ang inputs... kaya di pwedeng i-connect si dac-x6 kay d50... ang nakikita ko usually na mga cable sa online shops like ratsada and shakee although 2 rca to coax eh splitter lang siya... digital coax source (input) na split into left and right rca (output) and not the other way around... cmiiw... wait tayo ng ibang suggestions baka may ibang paraan para magamit both d50 and dac-x6...

    not sure din kung pwede as standalone si d50... yung 2 rca output eh gagamitan ng 2 rca male to 3.5 mm audio female na cable... para makabit mo headphone mo?... again... cmiiw... wait tayo ng ibang inputs ng ibang user...

    option 1:
    unless gusto mo talaga gamitin as source yung d50... baka pwede... pre-amp... "tube-03 mkII" (mark 2)... yun may output na for headphone... may bluetooth din ito... pero another device na naman at hindi na magagamit si dac-x6...

    option 2:

    you can try also... analog to digital converter... not sure kung ilan ang legit na makukuhanan sa ratsada at shakee... or try gomazon or other int. online shops...

    here's one from ratmall:

    <click here for link>

    it accepts rca l/r and 3.5mm jack as input... then output niya is digital coax or optical toslink...

    d50 rca output connected to analog to digital converter (adc) rca input...

    adc coax/toslink output to dac-x6 coax/toslink input...

    dac x6 to headphone...

    though not sure kung affected ang sound kung gagamit ng adc?...

  • baka may active pa po dyan...

    baka may marecommend po kayo magandang quality ng headset/earphone
    mostly kasi ganito yung scenario ng earphone/headset na nabibili ko :
    * either manipis yung wire
    * o kaya naghihiway yung parang takip nya (sample pic) madalas mangyari ito pag nahiggaan
    mga 500 po budget ko
    patulong naman po



  • magkano local price ng svs 1000 pro?
  • @infoseeker

    Madali lang naman mapalitan ang ear tips pag humiwalay pero sa budget mo na 500php (or ma stretch mo konti):

    Moondrop Quarks - 500-600php depende sa seller
    VE Monk Plus HiFi Earbud Earphones with L-Plug PH Edition - 250php
    QIGOM White lotus S300 - 460php

    Currently using a bavin one, 99 pesos lang yata bili ko sa shoppee. First one I bought 3 years ago is still working as daily driver sa laptop. Natanggal na rin takip nung akin tulad ng nasa pic mo pero it still works at nalilinisan ko naman ng cotton buds. Bought another 3 nung nag sale during lockdown para may spare. Make sure to buy from the official store para sure na ok ang quality at wag kung saan saan lang.
