Sg price for S730 is S$449 (RM1077) while razor mako is S$499 (RM1197)~ according to that forum post, KL is selling slightly mre expensive S730 at RM1090 while razor at RM999 only~
You are thinking of coming all the way here to buy it?? You would only save about RM 100. Not enough to cover the bus fare both ways...
just saw this fm creative web~ looks like an upgrade version of T3~ S$569~ launch date unknown~ Creative ZiiSound T6 2.1 speaker system - Premium Bluetooth wireless speakers with 5.1 surround
I'm just wondering. If you guys spend so much on speaker system, why not get a pair proper bookshelf speakers and an amp? It will have much better range response, rather than superbly good highs, not much mid range, and crappy subwoofer that doesn't go below 50Hz with most computer speaker systems.
karhoe, Thanks for the inputs. Any big difference if using 3.5mm or digital input? sry if it is noob question, newbie in audiophile.
Using 3.5mm means that the audio is trasmitted in analog, so the DAC is being done in the PC (audio device), while for digital connections, the speakers will be doing the DAC. It depends which has better DAC circuitry, the audio device may have better quality output too.
Hmm, well those pure audiophiles will argue that the 3.5mm audio cable could not transmit the signal nice enough to please their ears. Instead only pulses of lights would do the job LOL
That is untrue. It depends how good is the DAC. If you have a sound card like ASUS Essense ST, the DAC will most likely be far superior to the speakers' DAC. It is almost as good as most decent headphone amps. You will still have to convert the audio signal to analog, if not you will not hear anything. So it only depends where do you convert the signal, on the PC sound card, or the amplifier (speakers). The quality of the DAC circuitry is one of the key to clean sound quality.
