Custom Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-Amp
Maximize your prized headset's potential. Powerful headsets require an audiophile-grade headphone amplifier to drive outstanding audio performance, and that's where Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus comes in. The hi-res sound card features Xamp, Creative Labs' custom-designed discrete headphone bi-amplifier. It also features an ultra-low 1 ohm headphone output impedance that can drive studio-grade headphones of up to 600 ohms, including high-end planar-magnetic headphones.
The end result? Silky smooth audio regardless of how dynamic or demanding the current audio scene may be. From times when you need a break from gaming, the Xamp also satisfies even the most demanding needs of audiophiles seeking for music in its original form, the way it is intended to be heard.
Typical Headphone Amp vs. Xamp Headphone Amp
In a typical headphone amp, the left and right channels are amplified all at once using the same amplifier IC. With the Xamp discrete headphone bi-amp, each audio channel is individually amplified, allowing the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus to deliver pristine audio fidelity in an unaltered lossless model to each earcup regardless of demand.
