Creative has rolled out new X-Fi flavour in form of a USB dongle recently.
It is advertised to work both with PC and Mac and improves sound of mp3s.
If you seen the news or the demo on
http://www.x-fi.com you know which one I mean.
I am looking at my options for a sound card for my laptop so this one caught my attention. I found out the French have reviewed the thing already:
Summary:
pros:
- spectacular improvement of mp3 sound
- sound spatialization for impression of surround on headphones
- ease of use
cons:
- impractical selector
- requires PSU if used stand-alone
