None
Neutral
The price is high
But you do get what you pay for in terms of features and performance
The additional cost of buying good speakers and/or headphones may further add to your budget worries
“We normally reserve our Extreme Performance awar
Price puts it up against some tough competition
Lack of sonic insight and dynamic thrust
Expensive extra
Won't replace your receiver
Sliding scale performance
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
No HDMI connectivity
Optical input only supports DD and PCM
5.1 is a faff
Expensive if your use is limited and you're not taking full advantage of everything on offer

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...
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...
