  • 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...

  • Small footprint makes it easy to shift around, Supports full 24bit/192kHz sampling, Bluetooth support, Great value given the features
  • Software audio enhancements can be a little too much
  • Putting the Sound Blaster X7 to the test: Introduction & methodologyWe first covered the Creative Sound Blaster X7 in an exclusive first-looks back in September last year, and you may recall that we were left duly impressed by the capabilities of this des...

  • La tarjeta de sonido Creative Sound Blaster X7 es un complemento sensacional para los audiófilos que buscan una buena fuente de sonido para sus altavoces pasivos, sus sistemas 5.1, sus auriculares de alta impedancia o para todo lo demás. Ofrece una calida...

  • Abstract:  Je prépare un article sur le son d'une manière générale, et surtout centré sur le son PC / Gaming, mais l'arrivée de cette carte son externe / ampli tombe a point nommée! Ce SoundBlaster X7 a plusieurs objectifs: servir de carte son externe avec une qua...

  • Nous avons déjà un peu conclu juste sur la page précédente. En fait, simplement, d'un point de vue de la qualité audio, le X7 est bien, très bien, même sous tous rapports. Il est équilibré propose de bonnes performances sur casque et sur enceintes, il a...

  • qualité audio, étendue des fonctionnalités.
  • prix, pas de télécommande, finition
  • Le Creative Sound Blaster X7 déborde de fonctionnalités mais il remplit avec succès son rôle principal d'amplificateur audio stéréo. La qualité audio est au rendez-vous mais elle se paie un peu chère...

  • Richesse entrées/sorties, Rapport signal bruit élevé, son propre, Bluetooth embarqué
  • Pas d'encodeur Dolby ou DTS, Nécessite le logiciel PC ou mobile, Son moins bon via le DSP - Craquements enceintes passives, Prix trop élevé
  • Creative fait un retour remarqué dans son domaine de prédilection, la carte son, avec une solution hybride qui se veut adaptée aux usages modernes. Car la Sound Blaster X7 est plus qu'un simple DAC ou une vulgaire carte son externe. La marque a en effet t...

  • Ottima resa sonora, Completa connettività, Componenti di qualità e op-amp sostituibili dall'utente, Multipiattaforma e funzioni accessorie,
  • Nessun indicatore di livello del volume e della frequenza di campionamento, Comandi limitati sull'apparecchio, indispensabile l'uso del pannello di controllo software
