Maximum versatility for work, play, and upgrading.
Great value for the sound quality, keep Windows volume at 85% for a 112 SINAD score and you'll be set. You can line out with 3.5mm to RCA cables, but only to certain amplifiers (others have feedback at 65% volume. The ones you CAN do it are the Schiit Magni Heresy and Drop THX 789, and they have a silent noise floor. You'll run into the hissing with the THX 789 ONE and the SMSL SP200 and I couldn't find any method to solve it on those. I have mine on a Magni Heresy and they stack next to each other and you can put a headset on the G6 and plug a heavy hitter headphone into the Heresy and not have to swap out between work and play. The software toggle makes it easy to change between headphone and line out, also surround mode and direct mode which is best for music is a breeze. I use the ...

The software toggle makes it easy to change between headphone and line out, also surround mode and direct mode which is best for music is a breeze. I use the Kabeldirekt 3.5mm to RCA (the UGreen ones are like an antenna for interference, don't recommend those). If you have a noisy USB port on a gaming computer, get an optical cable 10-12ft long and connect it to the PC (if you have one) and then power it with a cell phone charger (not a high speed one, like 5v/2.1-2.5 amps will be fine). For many people and most headsets, low gain will be great quality and enough power, but the USB 2.0 source can only draw so much power, so adding a Magni Heresy will cure the problem of ever having enough power. Get both for $200 and you have the ultimate versatile amp/dac stack for both work and play. Also, you can get a 6.35mm to XLR female cable adapter and then use balanced headphones on the Heresy and it works great. You CANNOT do it the other way around (single ended headphones into a balanced plug) or you'll burn out the amplifier. It's really nice to be able to shop for almost any headphones, even balanced ones if a good deal comes up on eBay for a pair with XLR cables. I buy and sell, so it's the perfect combo for testing anything that comes along.

A must have for the average audiophile.
The good: - Amazing quality with no electrical interference artifacts from your computer from the audio or recording line. - Can handle bother higher and lower Ohms / Impedance for larger and smaller headphones. - Plug & Play on gaming devices and computers. - External volume knob that can adjust the mic & headphone / speaker audio. - Top LED can be set to a custom color, turned off, or set to different effects such as pulse or beat with music. - Quality constructed material. - Supports Surround Sound - Native Equalizer from the Sound Blaster Command application. The Bad - The front LED color can't be customized. - Retails New around $180 in 2021 Overall, you're getting what you paid for from a Trusted manufacturer who has dominated the PC audio industry for a very long time.The good: - Amazing quality with no electrical interference artifacts from your computer from the audio or recording line. - Can handle bother higher and lower Ohms / Impedance for larger and smaller headphones. - Plug & Play on gaming devices and computers. - External volume knob that can adjust the mic & headphone / speaker audio. - Top LED can be set to a custom color, turned off, or set to different effects such as pulse or beat with music. - Quality constructed material. - Supports Surround Sound - Native Equalizer from the Sound Blaster Command application.

The best Dolby DAC+AMP combo you can find.
I already had a similar DAC, the Astro MixAmp Pro and the TurtleBeach DSS, both were good, and way better than the default sound coming out of the PS4 or my Mac, so I thought the SBX G6 would be a nice upgrade, but I never thought the difference would be so huge! This little DAC+AMP delivers audio so clean and powerful that it even made my old desktop speakers come back to life. For reference, the main audio outputs I use are the Audio Technica ATH-M50 and the Etymotic ER3XR, and this card completes the middle part I didn't know I was missing between my music and games and my ears. One last note: I recommend to use ONLY optical output from your device(s) and feed only power through the USB in to the SBX. Though the OS can 'unlock' the 32-bit/384kHz, using optical in only delivers ...

Though the OS can 'unlock' the 32-bit/384kHz, using optical in only delivers 24-bit/192kHz (on my setup) but the sound is way cleaner using the card on its own rather than having the OS controlling the card, which introduces noise.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I have the hyperX cloud alpha headset and it didn’t sound the way I wanted so when I brought this it improved the sound quality so much bass and everything. It’s smaller then I expected but that’s no big deal lol. It was also SUPER EASY to install all you have to do is plug your usb in then plug your headphones in and your ready to go, I have a pic so I also had to download the software. This is definitely worth every penny don’t worry about the price just buy it lol!!!!

Thanks to the seller (4970store), the product is good, new as promised.
sat on the built-in sound all my life, decided to take the creative G6, the sound is excellent, but now I think about the headphones better, now the hyper stinger, you need to take something more serious, the Creative Sound Blaster Command program is a good impression, it works well the main thing is to be able to set up Windows so that it is ok, then the creative program will work well, about the fact that the sound card does not turn off when the computer is completely turned off, it is solved by turning off the power for the USB controller in the BIOS, each motherboard has a little difference how to do this, look on the Internet, there is a glitch when inclusion cannot define Windows creative G 6, but this is solved by restarting the computer, very rarely.
