With the input plugged in with the isolator, the noise buzz started being immediately noticeable at about 40 volume on high gain with the 2 harder to drive headphones.
This was a little noticible in gaming, but with the line in unplugged its dead silent.


Interesting. Hope you find a resolution. I can hear the floor with all four Sparkos op amps but I would never play audio when the volume is cranked up that loud as it would damage my headphones (and ears).

I'll admit I have been looking at getting a pair of these. How are they? are you posting a review?


Yes, I'm planning on writing a review on them. They're not the best headphones I've ever owned (ZMF Ori Blackwoods or Alpha Primes are a bit better), but they're the first pair I've decided to keep as all-arounders, and they're great for the price. Just make sure you get the ones with the detachable cable - the stock cable sucks. It's 10-ft-long, very heavy and inflexible.

The E-MU teak headphones look interesting, most will recall the creative E-MU line of products were for the professional market. I have also been looking at the Fidelio L2 and Grado 225E headphones...and as a left field option : the Audeze iSine20 magneplanar earphones.

Hi everyone! I am using my X7 limited edition as a "preamplifier" connected with RCA to a final Marantz 120W + 120W, connected in turn to the Klipsch towers. Needless to say, the sound is wonderful. I want to know how to use ASIO drivers with the X7. Thank you

If you go to the Creative website you should be able to download the X7 Drivers package along with the ASIO drivers. Then just use the ASIO output mode with your music player of choice. Personally I use foobar2000 in ASIO

Enable Direct Mode.
