Still on sale for $50 and definitely worth that.
Got a source for this? Spec says 24/96 is "supported".

Could this be because of Android's Mixer which resamples all audio to 48kHz?@Buckaroo Shanzai See here:

"Supported" as in "will accept 96kHz without error message". But yeah, it's resampled to 48kHz internally.
No. This measurement was done via ASIO with bit-perfect playback.Could this be because of Android's Mixer which resamples all audio to 48kHz?
You can't. The SXFI Amp resamples to 48kHz internally with no way to turn it off.You could hook up the SXFI Amp to a computer to avoid this.
Please throw us a lifeline and say that it doesn't resample for 44.1 kHz content? The vast majority of music on streaming services is in 44.1 so I wouldn't care that much if it only affects content above 48 kHz.No. This measurement was done via ASIO with bit-perfect playback.

That's a valid question I suppose. I assumed the SXFI Amp only downsamples to 48kHz, rather than upsample to it as well (which is what Android does), but I couldn't say for certain, and have no way of confirming for myself...Please throw us a lifeline and say that it doesn't resample for 44.1 kHz content?

purchase link please ?I got these with the Aurvana SE headphones for about 30 USD from a local seller. I don't know where they got them for such dirt cheap prices but for 30 USD, these are amazing. I actually liked the SXFI for movies, videos, gaming, and occasionally music, it gives some sense of space. It powers my HD 58X and Hifiman HE400i just fine. Didn't notice any noise at all. Seriously, a steal if you can get it at this price.
I got it from a local seller (Indonesia). I don't think they ship internationally, but if you're curious here you go: https://tokopedia.link/40wvNnlsZBbpurchase link please ?
I've not used mine in quite some time. Been totally into apples spatial audio for movies.
Just tried it out again. It really gets the out of your head feeling and checking your speakers aren't on feeling. Not sure if it's changed but still enjoy it when I can be bothered with cables. It really reminds me using impulcifer to do my own speakers.
Has anybody noticed a difference recently using the SXFI to listen to music?
To me it sounds like Creative updated the sound processing a few months ago.
My experience before was that the SXFI effect added lots of reverb and boosted the treble significantly. The sound was pushed very far forward but, though 'speaker-like', was like listening in a very large, cavernous room. This only worked well for me with some sparse electronic music as it gave the impression of being in a large club. Anything else sounded messy and harsh.
Now I hear much less reverb and the sound is not as bright. This means even busy music like rock and metal is listenable. The virtual room is much smaller, in fact it doesn't really sound like a room any more but pushes the sound forward just a bit. I'd describe it like listening to near-field monitors but leaning forward in your chair.
Any thoughts?
