more powerful (108 vs. 80 watts)
$7500 NT

Will an optical output make C6XD sound better than the DA5000-Pro?

I really like them both.
Please hlp!!

What are you connecting them to?

The DA5000 would be ok for computer use and the C6XD would work better for tv/dvd watching.

Overall they dont look that impressive.

Well over optical you will only get 2 channel audio so you wouldnt want to use it anyways. i'ld say go with the DA5000.

Da5000 Pro

Edifier DA5000 Pro is much powerful that the other model listed, the sub is 60W as compared to 30W of even the C6. Multiple ports are not useful to everyone. I think Da5000 Pro is a much better choice. I've heard the C3s connected to onboard sound of a crappy laptop! They sound amazing for the price.
