Abstract: We could talk all day about the features inside this box. Suffice it to say that it's a kitchen sink for audiophiles. The X7 also has Crystalizer, virtual surround sound, a loudness cutoff for nighttime viewing, “Dialog Plus” to make movie conversations e...
The Creative Sound Blaster X7 is a jack-of-all-trades USB amp with that offers unrivaled features and connectivity for the money. Sound quality is up there with dedicated DACs. The volume knob is handy for PC desktop use
Better hi-fi amplifiers can be had for the price. No remote control beyond the smartphone app. Build quality isn't as good as you'd expect for a $400 component. The headphone detection circuit is poor, and hooking up surround sound is a pain
The Creative Sound Blaster X7 offers a ridiculous number of features for the money and sound quality is generally very good, but its appeal is limited....
Update – We forgot to mention the fact that the Sound Blaster X7 features a panel on its underside that, when removed, allows access to the modular amplifier chips. I am no audiophile, so I wouldn't know where to get new ones at but, apparently, you can...
Abstract: Before Sound Blaster showed me the X7, its $400 all-in-one audio DAC/amplifier, I asked the question that I thought most skeptical PC gamers would want to ask: Is there any need for a dedicated sound card these days, when motherboards seem to put out perf...
Nearly every digital and analog I/O port you could want, Audiophile components (DAC, ADC, and headphone amp), High-quality USB and Bluetooth audio streaming
No HDMI support, Can't decode high-res Blu-ray soundtracks, No support for Apple's AirPlay technology
The Sound Blaster X7 delivers an incredibly strong price/performance ratio. If it had HDMI in and out (and the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio) it would be darn near perfect....

Abstract: Creative Labs wants people to fall in love with PC audio again. That's a challenging task at a time when even gamers who drop big bucks on video-card upgrades think of sound cards as anachronisms. Creative's strategy: Cover all the bases with a new family...

Mange funksjoner bygget inn i ett og samme produkt. Bra med kraft for en desktop-forsterker å være
Til denne prisen finnes andre forsterkere med bedre kontroll over høyttalerne
Det er ingen tvil om at Sound Blaster X7 er en meget velutstyrt desktop-forsterker. Den låter ganske bra i nærfeltsoppsett, da man ikke trenger spesielt mye kraft. Men selv Limited Edition-versjonen kommer til kort til vanlig stuebruk med gjennomsnittli...

X7 er bestemt en overbevisende størrelse, rent kvalitetsmæssigt. Det er en ekstrem brugervenlig pakkeløsning, til dem der måtte være nye inden for lyd-scenen, samtidig med at den formår at levere den nødvendige hardware til mere kræsne forbrugere. Muligh...
