It is capable of driving any damn cheap headphone or earphone with good sound output.
I received it today in good condition. I downloaded the Creative App, plugged the DAC into my laptop's USB-C port. I had already purchased "Dolby ATMOS for Headphones" software from Microsoft for Rs 824. I used one earphone which had dumped due to its poor quality. When the earphone was paired with Creative Blaster Play 4, it sounded marvelous, I couldn't believe. Overall, this DAC is more than worth the price.

Must have for calls
Best for audio calls. Plug and play solves most of my problems. Supports even ubuntu and mac so I am sure other should be compatible with other platforms as well. Must have if you want to cheap out headphones or earphones.

Best dac for the price range. Works with android
one of the best dac for the price range. I have samaung note 9, the sound quality for music is almost similar to note 9 which has a superior dac. For movies I feel creative go play 4 has better sound dynamics and little more roomy. The sound stage is slightly better than note 9. Compared to my old laptop, the sound quality is much better. For 3k this is a great deal considering this is very portable too. One click mute is a boon for wfh

Calidad a buen precio
Lo compré para tener mejor sonido en el ordenador del trabajo, cuya tarjeta de sonido integrada es muy pobre. La diferencia se nota desde el primer momento: el sonido es mucho más detallado, con menos ruido de fondo y mayor volumen en unos auriculares de 32 ohmios (unos Samson SR850). Donde de verdad se nota una gran mejora es en la entrada de micrófono, que se escucha mucho más alto y con menos ruido de fondo que con la tarjeta integrada. Además trae funciones para reducir el ruido de fondo, tanto el que entra por el micrófono como el que se recibe por los auriculares, aunque esta opción reduce algo la calidad del sonido y, a menos que estés en un entorno ruidoso, no creo necesario utilizarla. También se nota la diferencia al conectarlo a unos altavoces y, aunque no soy partidario de utilizar efectos, la función Crystalizer mejora mucho el sonido en este caso. Respecto a la función DAC para teléfono móvil, he probado a conectarlos a un Xiaomi Mi A3 y no he notado demasiada diferencia en la calidad de sonido respecto a la salida normal de auriculares. Además, el volumen es más bajo que al utilizarlo en PC, no se si esta limitación es a causa de Android o del voltaje del USB del móvil, por lo que si queremos utilizarlo como amplificador, creo que es mejor buscar otra alternativa. Por el precio que tiene, es una estupenda tarjeta para escuchar música con calidad y tener un buen sonido en las videoconferencias.

CREATIVE Sound Blaster Play! 4 - tut was es soll
Tut was es soll (hatte Probleme mit Sound an Mainboard - kein Sound unter Win 11(Treiber-Problemm)) Diese an USB A angeschlossen (USB C auf USB A Adapter war dabei) und es funktioniert nach dem PC-neustart sofort und ohne Probleme. (musste nichts installieren). Preis-Leistung - Top!

Proprio quello che mi serviva
Ottimo prodotto e prezzo contenuto. Il suono è buono, migliore di quello della scheda del mio computer. Certo non è quello di un DAC professionale, ma per le cuffie è più che sufficiente. L'ho provata con le mie Sennheiser HD 595 e HD 660S e il suono è chiaro e potente. Con un po' di sforzo sono riuscito a farla funzionare sul mio vecchio Asus N56VM (che ha ormai 10 anni) con ancora Windows 7, nonostante venga dichiarata solo per Windows 10/11. La scheda può funzionare in due modalità, facilmente selezionabili schiacciando i pulsanti: il default è 'mode 2', che richiede i nuovi driver Windows10/11. Invece selezionando 'mode 1' (quello compatibile con Playstation), usa i driver USB-audio di Windows 7 e funziona perfettamente. Non ho scaricato il programma di configurazione, perché quello richiede Windows 10/11 e quindi non so se i settaggi possibili migliorino veramente il suono oppure no. Naturalmente funziona anche con Linux (la mia prima prova), perché si mette in 'mode 1' in automatico e driver USB-audio di Linux funzionano senza nessuna configurazione necessaria. [Edit] L'ho appena provata con un tablet Samsung S7 (Android 13, se può fare la differenza). Inserita nella porta USB-C, messe le cuffie e voilà... suona perfettamente!

definitely a difference
I got this to see if i can get more out of my Logitech z313 system off my desktop,as i felt the onboard audio from my asus z590 prime a wasnt the best,mahor difference in bass, clarity,easy to install the software and use. I did uninstall the Realtek audio and dtsx drivers, restarted the system, installed the creative sound app and drivers, updated the firmware and restarted the system again,i could not feel the subwoofer or any bass before but now i can, footsteps are alot clearer in games like fallout series,cs2, cyberpunk, games like nfs even had better clarify. watching YouTube or playing music even sounded better then my sony headphones. I also did change the frequency in yhe app to the 24bit 192khz frequency, adjusted the mixer to my liking which the app is very easy to use. Highly recommend for anyone wanting better audio

Excellent
Excellent device, the sound is beautifull with the bass + cristal settings. I use it on a USB C port. Got a firmware update. Much much better than the Realtek mother board chip together with the headset Philips Fidelio X3/00 Hi-Res Audio X3 . Recommended!
