Review on 🎶 External USB Sound Card - CREATIVE Sound BlasterX G6 by Ahmad ᠌
The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!
As soon as I connected it, without settings, I immediately liked the sound, although it didn’t seem expensive or something. But I decided not to stop there: I turned on Crystallizer, adjusted the equalizer to my taste and my headphones, transferred all the music to Flac, set up the foobar2022 through Asio and now I'm catching a fierce buzz. I even now listen to tracks that didn’t really deliver to me before. Crystallizer does some real magic, the sound becomes MUCH better and more detailed. This is my first experience on a relatively serious sound system, so maybe not objectively, but personally I think that the card wins back more than it's worth. Before that, I listened to special musical DACs in the 9-10k price category, where the sound was not even close to the G6. At the expense of heating - it is heated, but not critical. Feels no more than 40 degrees, and maybe less. But my ears are 51 ohms, on high-ohm speakers, maybe things are different
- 1) Sound. At first I wanted to buy an external DAC, which could be connected to a smartphone and a PC, but the sound there didn’t really impress me. I didn't expect anything to change here. But in the end, the sound here impressed, and how! More details below 2) Crystalizer. Just a gun! I'm not sure if this is a good thing for an "audiophile", but I just want to listen to nice sounding music. This feature dramatically improves the quality of compositions even through music in the browser 3) 7.1, if tuned correctly, sounds very, very worthy. The sound does not deteriorate and really acquires volume. I use it all the time in games and have had no complaints so far. There were real cases when it was directed through the wall exactly at the enemy. But, of course, it depends on the game, somewhere the sound is not implemented very well 4) software. Installed, configured, no problems, well, it looks stylish. I saw that many are unhappy with it, but this is visible on older versions 5) Through the adapter works with a smartphone
- Plastic housing only if. It looks like metal, so there is such a claim, because at first you are deceived by this. But for me it's not a problem, so I'm personally happy with everything.
