Personal Rating: 10/10
Date of Review: 11/12/2007

I never really liked Creative before, due their driver problems, technical support was also bad. But yeh that was a couple years ago. Then I saw this piece of hardware and I decided to give it a shot. I bought it with the idea of building a media center system and this seemed to fit the bill, especially if the specifications on the box were actually true.

I was disappointed to find that all the documentation is in pdf files.. No books nor any manual. Also, the labels on the Xi-Fi console don't match the labels in the software. No optical to be found in the software.

After a good while of wading through the software, I discovered that Windows XP took it upon itself to turn on the "mute" in the control panel..

I finally ended up using the optical for sound out and R & L coax in for recording. By the way, the WAV setting in Control Panel actually applies to ALL background sounds. Remember that.

After a brief listen, I could tell that there was NO WAY I was going to return this thing!

After experimenting for a while, I came to a conclusion that it has incredible separation and direction, dead silence in the background, and wonderfully matched, with deep bass right where it belongs.

It's been a bit pricey, but this system will last for years and years. My computer is no longer a PC, but a serious media center with real-life sound and all the connectivity options I'll ever need. If you don't mind making an investment, this sound card system with a Home Theater In A Box produces an amazing result.

To Buy Or Not To Buy?
So, you've just forked out a massive amount on your brand new HDTV and you don't have a clue if you want a Blu-ray or HD DVD player, or even just a normal DVD player!? We're here to give you the full 'What To Buy Guide' that you need.

Protection or Precaution?
Norton, McAfee, AVG, Bitfinder. All these companies promise to protect your PC from any virus or hacker that may want to harm your computer. But do any of them actually work? Or is it just fleecing you of yet more money for nothing!?
