Best praise vs top criticism for Creative Sound BlasterX G6
“My best was a tie between hd600 for £50 and my LCD GX and a creative soundblaster X G6 for £300 for both.”
“There is definitely something going on with the mids of G6, I couldn't stand it and "downgraded" to Z. There is a frequency range measurement on ASR, but that is for Line Out which skips the discrete amp. It is also using CS43131, so there could be some distortion from Cirrus Logic's Dynamic Range Enhancement as well. Currently running SMSL PS200 > Topping L30 II, but still keep Z > Douk U3 as a secondary.”
