Review on Enhanced Sound Blaster Play! 4 Hi-res USB-C DAC and Sound Adapter with VoiceDetect Auto Mic Mute/Unmute, Dual Noise Cancellation, Bass Boost, Dynamic EQs | Ideal for Windows PC Video Calls by Alvin Hltan ᠌

A useless device that cannot not only reveal the sound signature of the initial full sizes, but even provide an acceptable volume on 32 ohm headphones with a fairly high sensitivity. Tested on Akg k72 (32 ohm, 112 dB/mW), Akg k361 (32 ohm, 114 dB/mW). And I also tested this on metal and rock, where the recordings themselves are quite loud, but through Play4 the volume slider is always 100% and the volume itself is sorely lacking. Old blues, art rock and jazz records are even sadder. The numbers 24 bits / 192 khz, proudly flaunting on the front of the box, are false, not affecting anything, there is no difference from switching. Additional functions in the program (bass boost, etc.) will be available only with an Internet connection, there is a bare installer on the Creative website. If you take for an office where working Internet is prohibited, then you will be content with a stub. I wrote about this to the Creative group on the social network, asking to add functions to a separate program that could be downloaded from the site and manually installed, but received a standard reply. And yes, in the reviews on Play4 it is specially photographed in such a way as to give you the wrong impression of the dimensions, this is a really tiny device, it’s not for nothing that they call it whistles. My advice to you, do not buy this consumer goods, better wait and save up for the initial DAC.
