Edifier Da5000Pro Review with Xonar DX

When I was struggling to find out a good budget sound card for my Edifier DA5000 Pro, I came across Xonar DX or D1 through many techies. So, I thought of giving DX a try.
Finally, I bought one and installed it in my PC. My initial impression was just OK and I was satisfied with the sound, and it was worth for which I invested. I am using an Intel motherboard with Core2Duo processor.
The Xonar DX specs claims that the sound quality will be 35% better than the on-board sound card. But, I felt listening to music with this is 1.5 times better than the on-board sound cards.
Hence Edifier DA5000Pro + Asus Xonar DX – is definitely a good combination for budget audiophiles.
So, my search resumed again. However, this time the search was for the solution and not for the sound card.Then I heard in some blogs suggesting for modded drivers, developed by Brainbit. So, I decided to try it once. After modded drivers are installed, the sound quality has improved to an extent.
My Sound Card Settings
Source: 2ch for stereo sources and 6 for 5.1 channel tracks
Output: 6ch
Other settings are left to default.
My Speaker Settings
Treble: 4
Bass: 2
Mids: 1
Front: 4
Center: 5
Rear: 8

Tip
Ensure that the sound card is firmly installed. It should not more tilt when it is completely fixed. The sound enhancement will decline if is not properly installed even though the sound is produced.
Do not tweak the audio using the equalizer or environment setting when connected to speakers.

Da5000 Pro - Quick Review

DA5000 Pro is a very popular multimedia speaker system and the fans call it as a mini home theater.  The package is really huge with 2 boxes. One box with a heavy 8” sub-woofer and the other box contains satellite speakers. The build quality is good with wooden housings and looks good. The DA5000 Pro is the next version of the DA5000. DA5000 has plastic housings for satellites and the pro version is released with MDF housings. In addition, DA5000 rare speakers are of 6W each where as the Pro has 12W each. It has a wireless remote which has many options to adjust the sound as per one’s personal tastes. There are separate options to adjust Bass, Treble and Mids.  Sound output of each satellite speakers can also be adjusted. Overall it has a very good build quality and decent looks. Sound Quality – let me preface by saying sweet sounding speakers for the budget with soft bass and good details. An inbuilt sound card is definitely not a good source to check the efficiency of the speaker

SoundMagic E30 review

E30, another emerging and top searched IEM from SoundMagic. E30 is launched as an upgrade to PL30 – a budget earphone with fun and spacious sounding, and also a preferred earphone by many customers even for now. The outlook and feel of E30 is similar to PL30 – an on-ear type earphone, designed for the use even while working out, playing and other activities. Accessories and Build Quality The package comes with a pair of plastic ear guides, a pair of double-flange tips, 3 pairs of single flanged other different sized silicon tips, a carrying bag and a shirt clip and  these accessories are sufficient and quite enough to fit for different ear holes. The build quality is good. As, I am currently using the third version of E30 which shows a good improvement in the build quality compared to the previous two versions I used (not sure about how many versions of E30 has been released). In the newer version, the wire looks like a rope where two wires are twisted to combine the
