I haven't test other connections, but I can play from PC and Bluetooth (phone) at the same time. It's pretty useful actually.- sovereignty68

My experience is quite the opposite. A week after I placed an order, I just wanted to know how soon they can ship my order. I've been emailing them but I got no respond whatsoever. I figured my email must sent to their junk folder or something. I got worried without knowing this thread exists...- sovereignty68

Sound Blaster X7 - Impressions? Thoughts?
My complaint is BS? Well it is too loud on a 16 ohm IEMs. I had to set the volume all the way down to 10% to listen through IEMs before blowing my ear drums out and bump it back up to 70% for the speakers. Of course this gotta be a problem with my IEMs, not X7 itself, but then I wonder why they...- sovereignty68

http://pro.ultimateears.com/adjustable-ambient-filters-169 it eliminate background noise/hiss and lower the volume, only useful if you are experience any those issues with X7, otherwise, there's no need.- sovereignty68

If it didn't work well for you and you feel you need to return, then you should return it. I already started return process with Creative for X7 and E5....- sovereignty68

This is BS. So they decided to fix the impedance issues for IEM, paint it white, include bigger power supply and sell $100 more. I fixed the noise on IEM by getting an UE attenuator which is only $10 bucks.- sovereignty68

Sound Blaster X7 - Impressions? Thoughts?
I ordered mine on Friday, received it yesterday. I gotta say I'm not impressed on SQ. It just doesn't right compared to Xonar Essence STX II. I will try out a different set of opamps tonight. Volume is either too loud for my IEM (I have to set volume to 10%) or too low for my 5.1 speakers...- sovereignty68

I can confirm there's audible hiss using DN-2000 with E5. X7 is quieter but not exactly dead silent. I also notice it is incredibly LOUD. DN-2000 was dead silent when using with Essence STX II.- sovereignty68
