Been having trouble choosing between R1280DB & R1850DB but looks like the latter is the smarter choice over the long run so R1850DB it is. Just have some questions: 1. I heard the volume resets each time you turn off the speakers, is that true? 2. Will the remote still work if I cover the LED light? Planning on covering it with something like a electrical tape because I think a bright green light can ruin a beautiful desk setup. 3. Honestly prefer a plain non-glossy black but not like the black R1280DB's since it looks cheapish IMO kinda like some wood sticker. Does the glossy piano black scratch fast? How about resistance to dust? I'm assuming it's the same kind of material on top of a 1st gen black PS4?

@@Driver2616 DAC is converting the signal from digital into analog it is separate piece as it must be of a quality. Look for a dac which has usb power.by this you can just plug it into usb slot. Good DAC has a volume knob. You want to be able to set volume, not to be forced to mixer volume. Look for DAC with the output jack or rca.

The bass on the 1850 was very quick and sharp and very satisfying vs my bigger speaker with a more powerful external amp.

No particular reason, just so it happened while taking it of the box. Thou, with edifier 1280, I did put the right-hand speaker on my left so I can easily see and adjust the knobs. However, input cables were flipped in the back so left/right audio play the right way ;)

[@sazzad_hossain.s]

No, you'll need an active sub... the speaker will only send audio signal to you sub but not power... you still need something to power up that passive sub

[@blobeyeordie]

You could connect the cable from the sub out port to an external amp then to the passive sub or even active(sorta like a preamp if you will), which is what Im doing. Assuming the amps output matches or at least nears the RMS of the sub, you should be fine.

[@Janjetina]

These with T5 Sub or S350db??? Thank you...

[@sazzad_hossain.s]

Hmmm 🤔 the S350db speaker frequency response starts at 160hz, and the sub will cover rest from 160hz and below... Could work out nicely but feels a bit odd, usually speakers will play a bit more of the mids... I still like the 1850bd, because I can pick and choose whatever subwoofer I want to go with it, like an elac sub 1010 ;)

I kinda feel the same about them now. It’s too boomy in not a good way and it’s so bad cuz i love the higher frequencies coming out of them. The mid and lower frequencies MUST warmly hit the chest not boom in your ear.

[@BigDaddyKilla87]

it has more volume than the R1280Db but the R1280DB has more thumping bass than this speaker, for a base head this speaker wouldn't cut it hence they put the Sub-Out Port, they knew it suffers when it comes to bass

[@sazzad_hossain.s]

I would disagree a bit on this, the 1850 has more kicks to it's bass, I actually have to lower bass decibels when watching movies at high volume, vs the 1280t needs additional bass decibels to give a close performance, the sub-out is a bonus so u can hit those sub frequencies with ur subwoofer, but even without it... 1850 will punch harder :)

[@BigDaddyKilla87]

@@sazzad_hossain.s Remember the R1280T and the R1280DB are different, the R1280DB packs a bass heavy sound over the R1280T, hence to your ears the R1850DB will sound better as compared to the R1280T but if you compare the R1280DB to the R1850DB then the bass on the R1280DB punches harder. Remember we talking bass frequency at the same volume level not he overall volume (Because the R1280DB peaks at 40 watts and the R1850 peaks at 70w). They had to sacrifice the bass in the R1850 in order to give you the better sound at the mids and the high-end. Hence they opted to give you a sub-out to even out the top heavy sound.
