Need to buy 2.1 Speaker, Any Suggetions?

[shreeux]

Go for Schiit Modi 2 DAC and enjoy the real music

Good to heard, But Price was equal to speakers rate..!!!
Below 5k anything to prefer or Swith to Soundcard.

I am using Intel DP45SG motherboard, now currently discontinued, No more driver updates.
My doubt is PC output ok or Enhance the Output to add on Soundcard (Internal+External)

An external or internal Sound card will almost always improve the sound than the on-board solution. How much you want to spend on a DAC/Soundcard is the real question. Depending on your budget choices will vary wildly.

For PC listening an Asus Xonar D2X or above will do very well. There are cheaper options as well if you want.

Schiit Modi 2 as suggested by others is a great option if you wish to go the external DAC way, in cheap Fiio offers some very good VFM external USB DACs. Choices are a plenty, do your research and choose the one you prefer.

I like to buy External only for usage of PC,TV & Headphone..budget is below 5k.

Honestly i don't think you would need a dac or soundcard if you are going with the speakers discussed. Agreed that it does make a difference but it wont be so much for such set-up.

A decent dac would cost almost as much as you plan to spend on the speakers. And the improvement would completely depend on the speakers you choose. Most of the multimedia speakers have 3.1 headphone jack input to connect and hence you anyway have hassle of connecting the speakers to dac.

Speakers like audioengine have inbuild dac but they are not available easily in india. Also the cost of it would be equal to speaker+dac combo.

If you still want to go ahead with soundcard or dac, I suggest ESI Juli@ (check in ebay) for soundcard and schiit for dac in your budget. But given they are slightly beyond your budget, get the speakers first and then strenghthen the chain with dac or soundcard as you go about it in future.

Happy hunting!

@sam9s

I need your suggestions..

Awaiting for reply..

^^^^ There are already some very decent suggestions, and I agree with SwaroopKS, with the speakers discussed here I dont think, you need a DAC. Most of the spks discussed here have inbuilt amp and hence you would not require anything extra. You need to audition as much as you can before you decide, people can recommend but, the only way you can make a decision is via auditioning.

Please do try to audition Harman kardon Sound Stick III, they are excellent desktop 2.1 speakers ...

As per SwaroopKS along with all member discussion, FInally select to buy

Logitech Z623 2.1 for movies>>games,

Every one suggest Harman kardon Sound Stick III not for Movies and Games.,

Better than Logitech anything?

I never auditioned anything also i am not a great audiophile person, So buy the right product select through Senior or Experienced audiophile forum members from here...

 

[sam9s]

^^ you would be doing the biggest mistake of your life if you will choose a product like this ....... there is no easy way or shortcut to this, Google,,,,, find dealers,,,,,, call them,,,,, take appointment,,,,,, and audition the setups ..... only then decide ...

swans is a very good speaker company. I would place every mode of their speakers above Logitech speakers any day. But but but, your preference is Movies>Game>Music, so, you are literally looking for a speaker that can play loud and go low.
So, in this situation, I will recommend you the Logitech. The Logitech's can play loud (ignore the distortion) and produce more bang for movies.
But if you are looking for clarity, good imaging etc, then you will have to choose the swans any day, but you will loose loudness (distorted though) and boomy loud bass (which most people on a very limited budget prefer over tight but less bass!)

I was plan to buy 2.0 for my PC & 2.1 for TV.

For my PC buy Swan

For TV-Logitech Z623

Mostly movies watched in TV only.,

 

[alphacentury100]

A wise choice for both the setups.

Confusion which one to buy price vice only 6k different....Swans D1080-IV Vs Swans M200MKII

 

[alphacentury100]

Not sure about the difference in sound quality between the VERSION 4 LESSER MODEL and the VERSION 2 HIGHER MODEL.
For look the 200 is unbeatable, but for sound quality, my guess is again the mk200. Just my prediction.
