Creative ... mentioned the possibility of bringing X-Fi technology mainstream ... claims it will restore the quality of your lossy MP3 files back to or better than the original lossless files.


SEE: http://dapreview.net/news.php


EDIT: Just saw a post by Behemot covering the same X-Fi technology in the thread names XMOD. Sorry for stepping on your story Behemot. His thread also has a picture.

Well other companies have certainly made that claim before. SRS Labs being one of them. Not hopeful, but curious.

It's digital sound processing. Main function, IIRC, was to increase volume by 2-3db.

Isn't that the main problem with A - B comparisons? One amp, dap etc. is able to bump the volume up a bit and it sounds much better - clearer.

Yes, that is a problem. Volume matching. It's just louder, but it doesn't sound louder - it sounds better.
