Hey, I just checked on my iPhone 10 to see if my version of Audeze HQ app would still work with cipher cable, I have 2. At first, it looked like it wouldn't work and was looking for BT headset of Audeze. Then after I correctly oriented the Cipher plug I saw the 10 band eq with preset buttons...

Ah, ok. They did read this forum at one time, I think.

IF Creative decided to implement the changes I suggest, above. That would solve your problem, right? So, you could make future gen2 profiles if you wanted? And other SXFI/X1 etc. owners would benefit also... Not sure that Creative would do it. I'm guessing they do read these forums still??

x7007, Interesting response from Creative team. Whatever changes they made between gen2 and gen3 is where your issue is. You do still have access to gen2 profile, right? So, you can still use it for gaming? I'm curious what gen2 profiles sound like compared to gen3. Wonder if Creative could...

I re-installed the original version of the SXFI Control software so that I could select and save the headphone profile I wanted to use. I guess they need to fix this for their updated software version so everyone can then update their Control software. The Mac OS software also doesn't...

It would be cool if they could give us selectable Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, ....GenX versions of our head profiles. Maybe in a future Software update.

I'm running Mac OS Sierra on one of my machines. I like that the Control software lets me select 7.1 outputs for my SXFI Amp. It would be cool If someday we get the X1 firmware for the SXFI Amp but not If I lose the ability to select it in Sierra as Virt 7.1 out. I'm fine using other software...

A large portion of my music collection is in 5.1. I did listen to some stereo files and they sounded pretty great too though. If Gen2 sounds better than gen3 for majority of people for gaming and music, I'd hope Creative will take that into account for Gen4 profiles. All I have to compare the...

Hi, I wish I was around with one of these earlier and could compare how different profiles work with gaming. I made 2 profiles, both show as gen3. One sounds pretty awesome with music. I did uninstall the software and install the old one so that I could again select the proper headphones. Maybe...

I guess my next question is will a Soundblaster X1 work with the old SXFI Control software? And Can a SXFI Amp owner ever get the X1 firmware upgrade?

It seems the SXFI Amp is the same as the X1. The X1 has newer firmware and a sticker. Yes, when I use the original Windows SXFI Command software, it auto downloads my latest head profile. If I update to newest software or try to use the same Mac OS software, I can't get it to load/save any...

Will the Creative App software work with my SXFI Amp? Edit: Just installed Creative app on W10. Plugged in SXFI Amp... Doesn't recognize it.

I'm happy with the sound of mine. But I just got it. Don't have any experience with Gen2 vs Gen3. Haven't used it with Gaming, yet. With Music it is great! :L3000: I like that Creative is always trying to improve their products. Yet how cool would it be if we could select which Gen profiles we...

Ok, so I got to try the BRT7 with LDAC and connected via USB. I'm amazed how good BT sounds via LDAC 24/96k. This is what sells this device. Once I figured out how to max the BT volume it drove my lcd-i4s to very loud volume in the low 20s. For some songs I cranked into the 40s and didn't really...

Hmm, I just ordered one of these. Now I wonder if there is a special Firmware upgrade necessary before the gen3 profiles kick in? Maybe I hold off upgrading the firmware until the gen3 profiles issues get solved?? :ksc75smile:

What, EQ? lcd-i4s need some, usually.

Cool, I will. I also need to mess with the eq a bit. I think eq changes a bit on this device compared to the G8X 3.5mm out. And I'm using new type of ear tips...

Ok, I had a chance to listen to my lcd-i4s. I used my G8X, UAPP in bit perfect, wavelet with AutoEQ for the i4s and some custom eq, AptxHD, High gain setting, EQ set to off and Balanced Boost mode. Playing a hi res file. Sounds pretty amazing, would never have thought it was BT. I'm sure it will...

There are some unopened NOS G8Xs out there on the eBay.... I think some are unlocked ATT, others are the dualsim world phones... Not too expensive. I expect my BTR7 today. :-) I will probably let you all know my impressions Thursday.

Curious what the difference is? Meridian tuning?

I'm gonna do it. I have a G8X. I should get my BTR7 tommorow or Tuesday. I think the LGs do one chip in 4x parrallel, to get stereo. Thus Quad DAC. So maybe the BTR7 should be considered OCT DAC? With these Sabre32 chips they need the proper implementation to sound best. I think we could see...

What I love about the BTR7 is how many use cases it can solve for me, do I expect it to be THE best sounding dongle? No. I would like to see though how it does as a dongle for my laptop, running mac os, Audirvana, upsampling everything into DSD? And how that might sound from my i4s... Might be...

Just ordered one, will be here next week. Interested to see how it plays with my LCD-i4s. Yes please, different color leather cases with that clip...

The best portable solution I've found for HQ sound for the i4 is with my LG G8X. It has a very good built in ADC/DAC. I think this is almost as good as having a dedicated Hi end DAP. I use the Wavelet ap for its built in EQ for i4 and then USB audio player pro as my player. The DAC has three...
