Seems like it will be HDMI 2.1 "It has HDMI-in and HDMI-out ports, both supporting the latest HDMI 2.1 standards to help pass through all the relevant HDR video data to and from your connected devices"...

Do make sure you set the SXFI amp to 7.1 and also the player to output 7.1 and switch off all mixing. Only then will the sound comes clearly from the back. You use the 7.1 channel test on Pc sound testing to make sure the sound is coming from the back.

Same here. I am using SXFI amp with emu teak and it is just simply amazing and natural and with movies it is impeccable.

Glad you are enjoying it. If you are watching movies from your iMac, do make sure you set the right settings like 5.1 and 7.1 if the movie has that. Here is the link from SXFI website on setting for Mac...

Super X-Fi, Sound Blaster AE-9 reveal, and PC memories with Ryan from Creative | The Full Nerd Ep 77

An amp with head tracking? Btw i think head tracking is unnecessary because I am looking straight at the screen 99.9% of the time so unless you are laying down on your bed or couch and would like the music to play from your feet or from your side, it is not necessary for head tracking.

They are adding different models to their headphone profiles. https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/eat-drink-man-woman-16/whos-waiting-buy-creative-super-x-fi-amp-6-34pm-5908001.html In this forum there is a list but it is hidden somewhere.

I' ve tested SXFI amp with EP660, Aurvana SE, HD598, HD650/HD6XX, Emu Teak. All of their main sound signature to my ears sounds the same. (Although their sound signature is the same but there are some inherent difference because of the headphones itself, like closed back is different from open...

Currently it is only available in Singapore android app store and it will only be launch in US app store in Dec when they deliver the SXFI amp.

Good experience review. I too feel SXFI is the natural way to listen to music and the only way now to watch movies now. Like you say it is night and day switching SXFI on and off and i must warn anyone who buys it, because it will in one way or another change your headphone listening experience...

From the website, it should be like any other bluetooth headphone which work with any bluetooth source once it is setup using the app.

You can try to ask a friend or family member who has an android to do the one time setup. From what i know, Apple doesn't allow some information (required by the SXFI amp) to be transfer via their lightning output but there is no restriction via bluetooth so creative will be launching Apple app...

Great that you are really enjoying it. Wait till you do the personalisation and the headphone selection. You will enjoy it even more and you can even tweak the eq to your liking after all that too. SXFI sound is grounded, like how it is sound from a real 7.1 system and yes all my hearing...

Should be in Dec when the SXFI amp ships to US
