USB Hi-Res External Sound Card with Dual DAC and Fully Balanced Xamp Headphone Amplifier for Audiophiles

Premium Components. Industry-Leading Technology. Exceptional High-Resolution Audio.

In short, this USB external sound card supports playback up to 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM with 130 dB DNR and features two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs, our custom-designed fully balanced Xamp bi-amplified headphone amplifier, and configurable DSP EQ functions.

Connectivity Options
It includes a USB-A host port compatible with USB microphones, headsets, and even wireless Bluetooth receivers for wireless audio. The device also offers multiple connectivity options, including optical and RCA TOSLINK outputs, allowing the Sound Blaster X5 to connect to a wide range of platforms, including PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, as well as audio systems, receivers, decoders, and Blu-ray players.

If youre an audio enthusiast or have high standards for audio quality, the Sound Blaster X5 is one of the best desktop audio accessories youll ever need.

Enhanced Overall Performance
To optimize the Sound Blaster X5 for smoother operation, the dual microcontroller DAC design minimizes interdependency between key components, reducing the risk of a single point of failure. This allows faster response times between user interaction and device control, enhancing overall performance.

No Compromise on Quality
Equipped with not one, but two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs, the Sound Blaster X5 delivers exceptionally high-resolution, lossless 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM playback with an ultra-high 130 dB DNR. These DACs also decode DoP128 and DSD256 audio formats, ensuring high-quality audio streaming and rich acoustic detail.

Virtually Distortion-Free Sound
Thanks to a multi-bit oversampling modulator with mismatch shaping, total harmonic distortion is incredibly low (~0.00018%), making audio distortion in the Sound Blaster X5 nearly nonexistent.

Pure Sound, Pure Enjoyment
Supports ASIO 2.2 playback and recording via USB and S/PDIF, providing access to multiple audio inputs and outputs with very low latency and delivering sound in its purest form.

Perfect Headphone Support
Got your dream pair of headphones? The Sound Blaster X5 is designed to extract the best performance from all headphones, including high-end models.

Silky Smooth Audio
Experience ultra-smooth sound that satisfies even the most demanding pro-audio users. The custom Xamp discrete bi-amplifier technology independently drives each earcup through three stages of amplification.

Excellent Compatibility with Studio-Grade Headphones
This external sound card powers a wide range of headphones, including studio-grade models up to 600 , high-end open-back planar headphones, and even IEMs, thanks to a very low 1 output impedance.

Fully Balanced Dual Headphone Amplifier
Xamp technology works with the dual DACs to independently amplify left and right signals, eliminating circuit noise and minimizing crosstalk. Fully balanced sound is delivered through a 4.4 mm gold-plated headphone output, reproducing audio with complete fidelity and precision for audiophiles.

Supports Virtual Surround Sound
The Sound Blaster X5 also supports virtual surround sound in headphones, implementing HRTF (head-related transfer function) algorithms in multichannel audio streams to create an immersive, cinematic audio environment with realistic spatial positioning, regardless of the content.
