![]() ![]() With my TF10, the X-fi HD is muddy yet harsh at the same time. Despite using a JRC4556, it fails with balanced armatures but fairs fairly well with regular headphones but is less capable than a E7 that I tried once. ![]() However, with headphones, it does a terrible job, I think it is a problem with output impedance like many before me has mentioned. Overall it is a pretty good dac that has good technical performance as expected of a DAC designed with proper tools. Still, its a pretty clean sounding dac, and less grainy than both the E7 and E10(I borrowed them). The creative X-fi back last year, was one of the best DACs out there with very good value for its performance, conducting some tests with RMAA, I found that it has good 18 bit performance and true 16 bit performance that was pretty much unmatched by any DACs at that price back then (there is now the ODAC). Decided to write this review to hopefully answer any queries anyone may have.
