We all want to give our desktop audio experience a bit of a boost, don’t we? The sheer number of products that are designed to do just that would seem to confirm it (you only need look at T3's best headphone DAC feature to see that).
But what if you want to include your gaming experience in this audio upgrade? Appropriate products are rather thinner on the ground. Which leads us, not especially coincidentally, to Creative and its SoundBlaster X5 - is it a headphone amp? Is it a DAC? Is it a gaming sound card? Why, yes… it's all three.
