About this deal
The Creative Sound Blaster X4 is a 24bit/192kHz External USB DAC and Amp Sound Card, Super X-Fi, Multi-Channel, 7.1 Discrete Surround, Optical-in, Optical-out, Line-in, Mic-in, Headset-in for PC, Mac and console.
I've been looking into getting a USB Dac for my Desktop setup as my brother gave me a Denon micro system for christmas, he recommended a DAC and I wanted to mix my chromecast or bluetooth audio (n.b. it's not that clear from the advertising, but bluetooth audio would need to be connected via line in as the bluetooth on this is just for controlling with the Creative app) and PC sound conveniently. This looks like it does that and a whole lot more including gaming, outputs for 7.1 speakers if I want to change things around in the future and headphones.
Also currently 4.25% TCB.
