The X-Audio does provide a good value with decent performance, stability, and last but not least, is does sound good.Ĭreative's entry level X-Fi turns out to be pretty killer. The EAX gaming enhancements are gone, however, in favor of the more usable Crystallizer and CMSS3D functions. This card has many aspects in common with existing X-FI designs and a few new features and modifications to appeal to the newer crop of demanding soundcards enthusiasts.īordering on false advertisement, Creative's latest X-Fi isn't an X-Fi at all, it's a new rev of the Audigy series using the X-Fi drivers and gliding on the PCI Express bus. It is small, light-weight and doesn't look half bad either. Indeed results for the higher resolution tests are off the measured scale.Īrmed with a small sub and two satellite speakers we'll today have a look at Creative Sound BlasterX Kratos S3 speaker kit. In our test set the Titanium HD produced exceptional results. The lower the measured crosstalk values are the less bleed through. This graph is a measurement of the bleed-through effect from one stereo channel to the other. Lower values are preferred for any type of distortion tests and the Titanium HD produced excellent results through the test sets. This type of distortion results from multiple signals being mixed together and producing distortion in the form of overtones that are not harmonically linked to any of the base signals.
The above graph shows the measurement of IMD.
The lower the measurements are preferred and the Titanium HD produced excellent THD+N measurements across the test set. Harmonic distortion presents itself as multiple odd and/or even harmonic overtones in the original signal. The above measurements illustrate how much Total Harmonic Distortion and Noise is present in the cards output signal.
