The propaganda The Xmod is Creative's first external sound card to implement X-Fi technology. X-Fi has been securing Creative's leading position in the sound card market for a long time thanks to its excellent sound quality enhancing functions. The Xmod offers a similar feature set to full blown X-Fi cards, incorporating CMSS 3D and Crystalizer technologies to enhance the quality of your sound output in ways an internal sound card can only dream of. The Xmod is a compact device that consists of one large multipurpose volume dial and a couple of 3.5mm outputs (for headphones and speakers), along with a 3.5mm input, which allows you to use the device as standalone sound enhancer. Xmod is also completely plug-and-play capable, which takes away all the hassle of installing software and fiddling around with settings.Read more

Review: Creative Xmod

MP3s and other digital music are great because they are small and fast to download. But because this music is compressed, your songs sound squashed and lifeless. Xmod intelligently restores the highs and lows for rich, crystal clear music playback.
