Creative files lawsuit against Nvidia in US

This little super x-fi amp makes the music completely fatigueless. I can listen to my headphone for hours and forget that it is even there. Truly amazing.

Me also enjoying my Super SX-FI headphone everyday since I recieved it.............SUPER

 

I am enjoying my little super x-fi amp everyday. Awesome sounding. Considering to also buy the Super x-fi AIRc headset. 

 

That' s because  Creative the Company being very Creative, naturally also attracts many Creative minds to post many Creative posts and Creative comments in a Creative forum like SJF.  We' ve all heard that like minds think alike, thus it' s logical that Creative minds flock together. 
Incidentally, this Creative thread even motivated  Creative posters to purposely create duplicate user IDs just for  Creative thread.   

Wow, think I should contact Guiness Book of World Records to submit this post for the " Most Number of the Word Creative in a Forum Post Award" . 

Not vested at all in this Creative. But it' s a fun thread to read.

Don&rsquo t just make one announcement and then go back to your hideouts to hibernate. I believe your Super product is fairly good but all you need is real marketing gurus to regularly provide updates to hype it up. Beat the iron while it&rsquo s hot.

I guess 1% asked for refund.  creative then use this figure to come out with 99% satisfactory figure.  It is indeed creative and mind-blowing. if creative announced that it allows return/refund if the product is not satifactory, I think more than 50% will ask for refund

I was some sort of hi-fi enthusiats years ago (发 烧 友 ). I spent way too much time at UIC, Supreme House, Plaza Sing, and later at Adelphi, at the expense of spending time with my then girlfriend. Those days, I would spend hours in the shop auditioning speakers, turntable, cartridges, amplifiers, then later CD players, and worst of all, on speakers cable and interconnect cables.

And what we were trying to achieve was to remove the last bit of graininess from the equipment so we can focus on the music. However, I think nobody ever succceded. Too much effort sepnt on finding the perfect gear, and not much time left to enjoy the music.

The focus back then was mostly on the QUALITY of the music (like got depth or not, whether the mids were smooth etc, LS 3/5, 蔡 琴 , anyone?.) 

The holy grail of the perfect equipment was being able to identify the sweet spot, and also recreating the sound stage of the original music recordings (using only 2 channels). There were some equipment that can do it, like the MBL, and some mid end stuff like Linn, B& W. But those can easily cost hundred of thousands to millions of dollars.

Sim Wong Hoo is a self proclaimed non-audiphile. He also didn' t like headphone before. Me too. His super xi-fi invention was to recreate a different sound PRESENTATION, so that headphone become LISTENABLE. Not so much for the quality of the headphone sound. That can perhaps leave to Sonus Faber, or Linn, or Senheisser, Sony etc. When these audiphile equipment makers adopt the Creative X-Fi chip, the sound would even be better.

I believe Creative Tech is working towards that (thats what the search of OEM is all about). And also pre-installing the Super X-Fi chip into some handphone and laptops and PCs.

Wearing a donkey-like headpiece (more than just an ear piece) and moving around is not something everyone will do, and lying in bed witih one is uncomfortable.

This is not the same as sound blaster card, which was auto-installed in every PC that rolled out the plant in the past, and which  spiraled Creative to $50 and more.

I dont bear much hope in this, the hype will fade away with time.

Creative should invent one that is equal good as super x-if, and one that can be embedded in every mobile phone, then there is hope of seeing $50 again.

I think I paid $599 (not sure now - memory fading).  I recall trying to buy direct from US (listed at 399 USD, if I recall correctly).  But after calculating all the extras (like shipping, taxes, insurance, etc) I figured it wasn' t worth the trouble !!!!
