Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for spending time reading my post.
I'm new to audio & know nothing about it.
I've had the Audio Engine A2 for 2 years & I plug it straight into the Laptop (or phone when I travel) to listen to my music (trance/edm only)
I do like its compact size (I travel with them), its convenience of plug-n-play from my laptop or android htc m9.
Now, it's time to upgrade to better speakers. & for the past 2 weeks, I've been reading so much & decided to get the Eve Audio SC204.
Next week, I'll flight to Singapore, the closest country that has the Eve sc204. & that pro audio shop only have them on display & they said they've only been playing approximately 40 hours & will give me a discount.
I'm gonna have some silly & annoying questions, hope you guys can help me out.
1. How much better my upgrade will sound comparing to the Audio Engine A2?
2. Should I choose a brand new pair or the display in the shop who break-in the speakers for me?
3. The frequency response of both Audio Engine A2 & Eve Audio SC204 is 65hz, however, the Eve 204's woofer is bigger than that of the A2, does that mean the bass of the Eve audio sc204 will be better?
4. Online picture showing the back of Eve sc204 & I see something like 3.5mm input, female 3-pin plug, & a bluetooth input.
The tech spec indicates the inputs are RCA & XLR. That 3.5mm input must be RCA & the female 3-pin plug is XLR, correct?
5. I read that XLR is recommended for better sounds. Correct?
So, to connect my Android Phone to Eve sc204, I need a 3.5 mm TRS to Dual XLR, correct? (because 1 source of music < 2 speakers)
6. If I can't connect the phone directly to the speakers using 3.5mm TRS to Dual XLR input, then I must need a DAC? correct?
if Yes, what would be the most convenient DAC to connect all these things together?
Thank you all for your time & advice.
