Creative Xmod
Creative's Xmod enhances compressed audio by effectively converting it to 24-bit audio ; attractive and easy-to-use hardware ; no drivers required ; PC and Mac compatible ; works with any audio source ; priced right
The Creative Xmod requires an AC adapter for use with line-in audio devices such as an MP3 player ; does not ship with an AC adapter ; not a true portable solution
The reasonably priced Creative Xmod does a remarkable job of making audio sound brighter, deeper, and more vibrant.
Creative's recently announced Xmod made it into my cube this week, and I have to say, I like what I hear. Creative has lifted the X-Fi features related to music from its SoundBlaster cards and packed them into the Xmod. The Xmod package includes...

Creative Xmod
Creative's recently announced Xmod made it into my cube this week, and I have to say, I like what I hear. This palm-size, slick-looking device is designed to improve the quality of MP3s and other compressed audio, as well as audio CDs. Creative even ...
Creative has lifted the X-Fi features related to music from its SoundBlaster cards and packed them into the Xmod. The Xmod package includes Creative earbuds, a USB cable, a soft case, and a user's manual. Creative even goes as far as saying this...

Creative Xmod
Being audio purists, we typically piss on products that sit in the midst of an audio stream and manipulate what the artist intended to create. But when listening to music played through Creative's X-Fi soundcards, we've increasingly found ourselves ...
The 24-bit crystalizer helps audio sound more...real
Only certain songs end up sounding like trash
So why aren't we giving the Xmod a Kick Ass award? If you're using it with a desktop PC or a laptop, the device acts as a USB audio device with an external DAC and draws power over a USB cable. If that PC already has an X-Fi soundcard, the Xmod is ...

Product Reviews: Creative Xmod
Enabling CMSS-3D also makes a difference as this produces audio through your headphones or standard stereo speakers that sounds like you're listening through a fully-fledged surround-sound system. The only issue we found with this release is that the ...
An impressive peripheral for music lovers but would be better if Creative had included EAX support.
With the newly launched Xmod however, Creative is now targeting notebook owners too. Creative's X-Fi line of sound cards has been on the market for over a year but have thus far only been aimed at desktop PC users. The Xmod is a relatively compact...

Creative Xmod
The Creative Xmod gives digital music and movies a surprising audio punch.
• Fast processor • Bright, vivid display • Zoom/enhance for viewing image attachments • Long battery life
• Extra apps required for attachment editing • IM clients are not preloaded
Initially, we were a tad skeptical of Creative's much-hyped Xmod, a plug-and-play sound enhancer that connects to a notebook's USB port for upconverting digital audio to surpass CD quality. We enjoyed clear highs, punchy lows, and how the Xmod's...

Creative Xmod Review
Award: Editor's Choice!
Creative's Xmod promises to enhance your compressed digital audio collections so they playback as if they were CDs, using smart technology to reinforce your ripped songs and iTunes buys.
Easy to set up and use, excellent sound enhancement, good price
Not a portable solution, requires AC power adaptor which is not supplied
If you want to enhance your iPod audio on the move, Xmod won't do it. What it does is boost music playback through speakers from an iPod or computer when you are stationary. In the future, we wouldn't be surprised to see Creative apply these ...
With Xmod, Creative kicked against that wisdom to promise the device will "make your MP3s sound better than CDs", simply by shoving your digital audio through the device. Connect Xmod using USB to your computer, connect a set of speakers to the...

Creative Xmod
Great sound quality, Crystaliser has a big impact, Portable design, Low cost
USB connection somewhat limits the device, Sound is slightly manufactured
The Xmod is a brilliant product. While the audio does have a slightly manufactured sound to it, it's nonetheless impressive. The portable form factor, combined with the cheap price make this an ideal solution for quality audio on a budget.
Creative's Xmod is an interesting little product that manages to bring Creative's patented X-Fi sound processor into a portable form factor. The idea is that this will have a big impact on compressed music such as MP3s, although Creative also...

Creative X-Mod
We love Creative's X-Fi soundcards, so we were best pleased to hear about this external device. The X-Mod is an external audio resampling device designed to tart your MP3s up to a higher quality
Really does boost digital music, Small price premium for being external
Strange distortion at high surround sound levels
A convenient and affordable way to crank up your PC's digital sound abilities
