Do you really need the DAC?

If there's no DAC, I'll have to use the audio out from my motherboard audio chip ...

 

[wwenze]

Oh right R2000DB has a DAC... although it's optical and not USB

Or wait rather, R2000DB doesn't even have a DAC, everything is done digitally without the need for a DAC conversion stage.

Don't you love it when there are so little speakers out in the market there isn't even the need to choose.

 

[artemov]

Oh I think the R1280DB has coaxial and optical digital input too, and BT as well! Should be getting this over the R1010BT.

Heard a very loud pop sound from my out of warranty Swans M50W speakers while watching videos on YouTube. Now there are buzzing and distortion coming from the speakers when playing at a slightly louder volume.

Should I send it in for repair? Or I am better off looking into new speakers? Been using them for 4 years ish.

Out of warranty le, how to RMA?

I meant send in and pay for repair.

Which with the local distributor. Guess is usually them who handles to repair. If they don't do repair locally than the cost would be high.

Not a hard fix. But hard to find people who do it for cheap nowadays.

 

[shadow84]

If you are good at something, dun make it cheap or free.

Any 2.0 or 2.1 system to connect to TV optical output? My TV does not have analog output. Prefer to have remote control to control volume.
