Just received mine. Fulfilled by Amazon. Headphone stand feels a little flimsy. Putting it together now, but kind of confused as to which power cord I'm supposed to use. I received 7 different cables, three of which are US cables... not sure which of the 3 to use.
Same here. I thought was was very strange and there is no documentation about any of the cables inside the box. In fact what little documentation that came in the box I had to tape up to my wall. I hate when companies put all of their documentation on one poster size sheet and then fold it up into a tiny square. Fortunately if you I found a very helpful PDF that has all of the information on the X7: http://ccftp.creative.com/manualdn/Manuals/TSD/13325/0xEB7A9DC6/SBX7_UG_EN.pdf Even so, I didn't find any info on all of those power cables in the box. Clearly many of them are for international use but as you also mentioned, there are 3 that are nearly identical that could fit into my wall jack. There were two that have the little holes in the metal plug terminals. I used one of those. I haven't turned it on yet though. I have some M-Audio powered monitors that I am trying to figure out where to connect. I think I can just connect them to the RCA plugs.
I wasn't really understanding user sovereignty68's post. What does "I'm not impressed on SQ" mean? Does anyone else have the X7 that has used it? I will be turning it on for the first time tonight for use with my ATH-M50x. I am happy that we got the discount from Creative but even at 30% off, it still cost over $300 so it should sound damm good. I don't have room for an internal sound card so if the X7 doesn't work out, I don't know of any other high end external sound cards.
