    Really really like this DAC/AMP. Buttons on the side are a bit hard to differentiate from each other and the USB cable that comes with it is a bit short but these are just little pet peves.

    I purchased the Creative - Sound BlasterX G5, two days ago. I downloaded the free, Driver BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro Software Pack for Windows,and immediately windows 10 pro recognized it. I've tested this product for many hours with many games, and the sounds are great. just make sure to use a good set of headphones.

    This is an amazing little amp, the best 80 dollars I've spent on an amp. The sound is so good , significantly improved any headphones. Highly recommend...I actually purchased 2 of them since being so impressed with the first one.

    The product is essentially useless because of the garbage software. I have tried multiple installations and computers to get this product to work. Not one computer was able to successfully install the software or detect the Sound Blaster G5 connected to it. I intentionally purchased this product because of the other amazing reviews it received. I would say they are majorly deceiving.
