Short answer: the ADAM Audio T5V, comfortably. It ranks #38 of 108 against the S1000W’s #81 of 108 and costs $135.99 less, with vocal detail and low end better than the HS5, though its AMT tweeter is elevated and slightly uneven and the rear treble trim only tilts. The Edifier S1000W’s headline feature is a high resolution digital input up to 192kHz/24bit.
Buy the ADAM Audio T5V. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Edifier S1000W and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
