Creative Sound Blaster X4 Game Amplifier/External Sound Card Review

I use only direct mode with Sony 7560 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO ears. The application was installed, spat and immediately deleted. I think that the card is good, but not worth the money. The sound is like a good built-in. I recommend taking an external DAC instead of it without any marketing nonsense.

You can take the previous model X3, the differences are at least Some pros: Excellent sound, you can connect a set-top box or phone, ports for multi-channel systems Cons: Price. Mobile application connects with strong delays and lags

More detailed subjective feedback: Bought for headphones DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm. The purpose of use is mainly games, much less often music + additional connection of 7.1 acoustics, but in stereo mode. Before I came to buy this device, I considered the DAC + amplifier separately. In such a bundle, the sound in these headphones approaches the most balanced quality. But even a relatively budget bundle on the Trooper comes out under 30tr. I didn’t want to spend that kind of money right now, so I…

As a result, only direct mode is needed from the software, and if there is a desire to get worn out, you can twist the equalizer with presets for each of the needs separately. Although the Crystalizer parameter has come a little more in the Acoustic Engine, that's it. + Buy an adapter with extra. resistance for low-impedance headphones. Pros below: The difference in sound on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO is noticeable for me, their integration on the alc1200 does not pull. Cons: 99% of improvers

Has pros: The functionality of the main application, the number of settings, the equalizer. Sound quality compared to the built-in sound card. Cons below: For the full functionality of super x-fi, you need to install an additional application + application on your smartphone.

Has pros: External sound card not only for laptop, but also for TV, Android TV box, curling iron and phone. Compared to X3, 32 bits are cut, but this is purely in parrots, I'm sure that you will never listen to such a quality audio stream from the word at all. You simply do not have such sources. But, rich communication opportunities - thank Jesus, there is an optical input - where through the switcher we connect both a curling iron and a laptop and TV and android. ==== And now about the sound.

I bought this carut of two optical channels and as a preamplifier, and for the fact that there is no optical wire and one short one in the kit, I had to spend money on two more wires. And the sound during the game fell off the left channel, both in the headphones and on the acoustics connected via fiber. I deleted the program from the PC and the driver, it didn’t help, it’s good that the Creative program itself has a reset button to default and it all worked. And the sound is nothing…
