Yeah, My current IPS Eizo FS2333 is night and day compared to my previous Syncmaster...
There's also 5 years warranty by Eizo, which doesn't hurt

I'd rather get the Eizo Foris FS2434-BK

That's awesome! I'd love to see more public gaming events... I know they exist everywhere, but I feel that, in the US, gaming is mostly an insular hobby unless you go to tournaments or live in Silicon Valley. In that sense I miss the death of arcades, we have a Dave and Buster's nearby but their newest games are iOS games on a big screen... Yup, gonna toss the quarters into a Temple Run with a glitchy ball controller, cut the rope, some ice climber-esque game, etc.

My monitor is an Asus VN248, it's an IPS display which has been doing well enough for dual-duty between PC and PS4 (Xbox is on the basement TV, doesn't get much internet love anymore).

X7 has arrived!


Just looking across my desk, some of us here on HeadFi might see a cornucopia of audio gear, wires, and adapters, but even among audiophiles and most regular folks will just see a big 'ol mess...


I've got an audio chain stack, different cable lengths, power cables, a few mics, tubes (more in a box down below the desk), screwdrivers-allenwrench-multimeter to properly adjust the tube amp, batteries, adapters, splitters, joiners, a Bluetooth keyboard (lol)... and I feel comfortably happy that a lot of it will be consolidated in one unit.

I'll be playing with it and testing, getting some sort of setup review and sound impressions written and posted by the end of Thursday, and the plan is to eventually post a playlist on YouTube of different headphone gaming setups, but for now... I'm just gonna listen to music with the X7 by my bed, and eventually sleep :)

Hope you guys are excited about my review as I am to write it!

When I asked creative if I could review the X7, they asked if I'd like to review the E1 too. I thought, why not? Might be nice with my M100 at work. So they sent me one. First time I've had a company send me something. I waffled about buying an E3 for myself anyway, I'll see what the little guy's got, but the E1 is a side-show compared to the X7 – though the E1 can work as a PC DAC, competition for FiiO's E7! Egads, these names might get confusing...

I admit, I'm more interested in the E1 than the X7...

Something for everyone then! Btw, I noticed that the diamond shaped sides aren't (just) for style, you can set the E1 on it's side and it rests on this angle and rear clip to angle the mic up towards the user.

So one thing I've noticed, Creative gives you 7 power cables, but doesn't include an optical cable, nor does the manual illustrate how to use the built-in mic with a Playstation or Xbox.

Awaiting your impressions

 Mine is on the way.
A comparison to other, lesser DSPs SB Recon3D USB would be awesome :]
 
Oh, and why do we have so many cables?! Do they all serve different purposes?

They have to validate that price tag somehow!
