I also did a comparison between SB X7 and SB X7 LE line output, they are practically sound the same, and I couldn't hear any differences. But the RMAA loop test measurement shown some differences between SB X7 and SB X7 LE on the very high frequency response (on the Features & Measurement section below). But RMAA test is dependent to the line input used to measure / record the line output. In this case, I don't know if the difference is due to the different frequency response of the line output or the line input. To my ears, both SB X7 and SB X7 LE line output sound practically the same. The level of clarity, detail retrieval, spacious imaging, clear instrument separation, are all pretty close. Practically, the differences between the 3 headphone outputs are small, and require revealing headphone to distinguish the differences. With warm sounding headphones it will be difficult to distinguish the differences. All 3 headphone outputs have excellent sound quality, with micro iCan and Sound Blaster X7 are preferable over the 'rather dry' micro iDSD headphone output. And please take note, that the Sound Blaster X7 sound signature can be tweaked further by Op-Amp rolling.

I like Dialog Plus for movie. Tried to watch a full movie with it, really effective to make the dialog sounds clearer. I also setup Zoom H6 with MS capsule, and binaural microphone MS-TFB-2-11847 Master Series by Sound Professionals. The binaural microphones were connected to mic input 1 & 2 of Zoom H6, using a DIY cable. Input 1 & 2 phantom powers set to 12 VDC. The binaural mics were positioned in my ears during recording. Overall sound quality from PC is better, better detail and dynamic. Bass is stronger and midrange sound fuller when playing from PC.Profile is a really smart feature from the control panel, and I think it will be very useful when there is a dedicated button for switching between profiles at the front panel of the SB X7. We have a dedicated button for SBX, why not one more for switching profiles? Or probably profiles data is not stored in the SB X7 memory? Not necessary all the profiles, but let say the top 3 or 4 profiles are selectable from the front panel. I suggest Creative to consider a dedicated profile selector button for the next model of SB X series.

It’s a cool piece of hardware to have on your desk, assuming space isn’t an issue—the large metal volume knob feels great to spin and can mute music with an easy press. It sounds great and has the power to support some serious speakers. Audiophiles will be happy to hear that its op-amps are easily accessible via a flap on the bottom. High power, 144 watts power adapter, while the standard edition comes with the 69.84 watts power adapter. the software is another area which the ZXR is more organized in my opinion....the sound through the control module of the ZXR and the AE9 is pretty similar using my soul impact,with the Zxr more spacious and more revealing through headphones, but don't take my opinion on this one, since mainly and mostly I use speakers.(Edifier SB351)

Sure you get lot less bells and whistles with an USB DAC but I don't care at all about all that. Personally I find all iterations of virtual surround sound just horrendous, it just doesn't sound right imho. The 3 pairs of speaker were setup in a 4x7 meters meeting room. The floor was carpeted, and some part of the walls covered with thin sound absorbing material. The room was not totally damped or dry, but acoustically less reflective. There was a large glass panel behind the speakers that normally used as whiteboard.

The microphone input is mono. Quality is just average and rather noisy when using mic boost. Stereo microphone input with better quality microphone pre-amplifier is recommended to be the future improvement in the next model of Sound Blaster X series. On Sound Blaster X7, the supply voltage for the 4 replaceable op-amps is 22.3 volt (V- to V+). Only use op-amp that is rated with higher maximum supply voltage than 22.3 volt. The Sound Blaster X7 does not have the ability to encode digital audio with Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect.
