Let down slightly by a flimsy headphone stand and a high price, the Creative Sound Blaster X7 is extremely easy to use, has a plethora of connection options, and is perfect for any beginner audiophile...
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....
Expensive extra, Won't replace your receiver, Sliding scale performance
At its best, the X7 can be used in conjunction with rock-solid bookshelf speakers or full 5.1, home-theater-in-a-box systems and noticeably improve your experience. It's clear that the X7 is packed with more features than were ever possible in a standa...

Very good sound via Headphones, Also very good with attached speakers driven by on-board amplifier, Unique design, Decent connectivity for various types of users
Expensive if your use is limited and you're not taking full advantage of everything on offer
Overall, in terms of audio quality and playback the X7 did a very reasonable job of producing high quality music playback via headphones and speakers. Personally that is all I would use it for and as such I'm not sure it is the product for a wide audience...
