ante kairos htan...

 

With 24 times more power than its predecessor, Sound Blaster X-Fi delivers amazingly crisp, clear Xtreme Fidelity™ audio playback, and the most realistic surround experience ever with headphones or multichannel speakers for all your digital entertainment.

 

 

For music, it adds back the audio detail that is lost during MP3 or WMA compression

For gaming, it delivers the fastest and smoothest game play with hardware-accelerated audio

For movies, it offers incredible, realistic surround sound with your regular headphones or multichannel speakers

 

 

Xtreme Music

 

If you download MP3s and WMAs from music services like Yahoo!®, Napster™ or Rhapsody®, you have been listening to compressed music where quality and clarity have been compromised. With Sound Blaster X-Fi, all the sparkles lost during compression will be restored and remastered automatically, making your music sound even better than it did on the original CD, in real time!

 

24-bit Crystalizer enhances the low and high frequencies and improves the dynamics of your compressed music with no degradation or introduction of audio artefacts.

CMSS-3D converts any static stereo music into amazing surround sound on your headphones or multichannel speakers

 

Xtreme Gaming

 

Sound Blaster X-Fi is the most powerful audio based PC gaming accelerator ever designed. You will get accelerated frame rates during game play, even with all the audio effects turned on!

 

Experience more than 15% faster PC gaming performance over built-in PC audio

With X-RAM™ for audio, you can boost your gaming performance further*

Hear positional audio so realistic you'll forget you're wearing headphones

Upgrade your existing games to sound more dynamic and realistic with X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer™

Enjoy the new standard for realism in gaming audio with new EAX® features including 128 simultaneous voices, EAX PurePath™, MacroFX™ and Environment FlexiFX™

 

No gaming rig is complete without Sound Blaster X-Fi!

 

*X-RAM is available in Sound Blaster X-Fi™ Fatality FPS and Sound Blaster X-Fi™ Elite Pro models

 

 

Xtreme Movies

 

With Sound Blaster X-Fi, you'll get incredible, cinematic surround audio for all your DVDs with a sense of spaciousness and enhanced positionality even when you are using headphones. It will also turn all your downloaded movies from stereo to multichannel.

 

 

Get an amazingly realistic multichannel speaker experience through virtually any headphones with X-Fi CMSS®-3D

Τελικά θα υποστηρίζει Dolby digital live ή όχι; Γιατί με τις μέχρι τώρα κάρτες της creative (live-audigy) σε ενισχυτή AC3 και σύνδεση με SPDIF έπαιρνες απλό 2κάναλο ήχο... Είναι εντελώς ηλίθιο κατά τη γνώμη μου να πρέπει να πάρεις αυτά τα ψευτο-ηχειάκεια για υπολογιστή για να έχεις 5κάναλο ήχο!
