Rating: - Superb Laptop Solution. Works Anywhere,On Any Computer
Like most, I purchased this to bypass the endemically crappy on-board audio of even quality laptops. The two things that appealed to me right off the bat were, a: It is portable enough to travel with, use in bed, etc, and, b: It requires no install / is true PnP. The latter means that it will work across a wide span of machines, and there is no goofy, silly software to navigate (it also means that you can use it at work without altering their machine). In this regard it really acts an external DAC ... Read More

- Xmod Excellance For Your Tunes
I purchased the Xmod for my Ipod. It worked wonders from the very beginning. I placed it between my 80GB Ipod and any speaker system. I even use it in my car with astounding results. It brings all of my MP3 tunes right back to life. I get a rich full sound at home, from my computer or from my Ipod to my home theater sound system. I also get this same outstanding sound in my car. All the amazing deep lows to the highly defined highs are your with this amazing product from Creative...

Rating: - Does the job for streaming radio
I purchased this unit because my $89 MP3 player sounded so much better than the audio from my desktop RCA jack, which is the primary way which I access my music.

The real gains are from internet radio streams. I used to avoid Pandora, because of the muddied audio, but this unit makes it a pleasure to listen to. The effect is less pronounced ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
I use a macbook to play all of my music (and now video) through a home theater system.For some reason I just wasent getting the bass I should have been (using a 3.5mm jack to rca cable), so I got this product.Now everything works perfectly.Very pleased.
Btw, I prefer to use it without the CMSS-3D, but with the crystalizer.The CMSS-3D made it sound...unnatural.
Rating: - Microsoft Plug-N-Play is Evil
I listen to live streaming audio from several radio stations around the country while working at my desk.This little beauty turns internet audio streams into pleasant listening experiences.Once in a while some error happens (A BUG IN WINDOWS?!!!) and the Xmod goes away.I have to either restart my computer (not likely while working) or unplug my headphones from the Xmod and switch to raw soundcard output.Going back to listening to what sounds like a transister radio playing underwater makes me sad. ...
