ahmed98 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Looking for a speaker upgrade for listening to high quality lossless music. (FLAC, AAC) I currently own the Audioengine A5+ and they are working fine however I am looking for an upgrade. My room is a medium sized room with 20ft on each side! (estimated) Which from the following two speakers have better specs and which one should I go for? I read the Klipsch sixes has a inbuilt DAC so does that mean I won't need a DAC for high quality audio or I can still use a DAC with the speakers and get better SQ by combining both. Currently planning to buy the Topping D50 DAC. Apologies if the questions are silly, I'm fairly new to this. Thank you all for the help in advance! ☺️ The DAC I am planning to buy: http://www.tpdz.net/products_detail/productId=41.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Are the sixes a Pro speaker? Fwiw, speaker choice is independent of deciding whether or not one needs a digital to analog conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard them a couple times in Hope and they sound really good. They have surprising bass for their size. After you have them for a while and want to use an external DAC, I believe they have an analog input. Check the spec sheet to be sure. For the record, I have never heard them with an external DAC.

mhconley Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Piggybacking on this topic... Does the DAC in The Sixes play DSD/DSF files? Thanks, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
