 Amazing product October 25, 2008

I'm not what I would call a hardcore audiophile, but I like my music sounding strong and rich. I had an ASUS Xonar before this one, and I swapped it because the Xonar was not very good at games, which is the second use for the PC. I was afraid the X-Fi wouldn't live up the hype and I would lose music quality for games quality.
I was wrong. I cannot believe how incredible everything sounds. Music quality is perhaps the same or slightly better than with the Xonar, but gaming is just incredibly immersive.
The only two things I don't like very much of the product is 1. the "Modes" are just exactly that. "Entertainment mode" truly makes music sound incredible, but deactivates some gaming features, and "Gaming mode" reactivates all those, but music doesn't sound as well. Switching back and forth isn't my idea of fun. 2. It's Creative. I'm probably one of the most anti-Creative people around since I can't agree with most of their business decisions, but sadly, they have way to many sound patents that won't allow the competition to rise. Although I still hate them, it's just that sadly it's the best product around.
Overall I'm very impressed with the card.
 Probably a fine card but didn't fit my small PC September 5, 2008

I purchased this card after having carefully reviewed the specifications. My PC has a PCI express card x16 slot and this card reportedly works with all x1, x4, and x16 card slots. Imagine the horror when I opened this card and found it about an inch too tall for my PC and an inch taller than the other PCI express cards already installed. I guess I'm glad I bought this from Amazon as they seem to do well on returns. Creative really should have specified that this was a full height card and was not suitable for low-profile applications. I guess I'll buy the Xonar DX now.
