  • Incredible Connectivity Options, Sounds Fantastic with X-Fi Enabled, Great Price Point, Properly Sized Device
  • No hardware memory for storing profiles, Lack of a visible volume indicator, Would have liked a 1/4 headphone jack,
  • I just did not expect this level of features and performance from an AMP/DAC in this price point. Truly I am floored at the level of difference you can get from Creative and Super X-Fi. Provide you take the time to set up a profile and use the right mode...

  • Superb Acoustic Quality, Excellent Sound Configuration Options, Handles both Audio Inputs and Outputs, Quality feel of device, dial and buttons
  • Super X-Fi sounds forced and artificial, Some setups will require adaptors and cables not included, Occasional stability issues with the driver
  • I am a DAC convert! Such devices have been on my radar for some time but never had I thought the benefit would be enough to push such an upgrade ahead of others on my system. Creative have released this X3 DAC at around the £110 mark which is a comparable...

  • Well yes and no. I honestly think that direct motherboard audio and USB headsets are so damn good these days that most users will find few benefits in buying higher-end audio hardware. However, if you're like me and love high-res audio, holography, advanc...

  • Works with PC, Mac and consoles, Great sound quality and Super X-FI, Lots of configuration options
  • Not especially portable, Won't work with Xbox One, Super X-Fi needs custom settings
  • The Sound Blaster X3 is an external sound card built to work in stationary situations, where you've parked yourself in front of a computer, console or TV, and wanted to capture the essence of the content tuned to your own ears. As subjective as sound ofte...
