Creative's Xtreme Fidelity Coming to USB

Creative has a new product they are announcing today called Creative Xmod. The Xmod plugs in between your computer and speakers to convert your music and sound output to the Creative X-Fi standard. Your CDs and MP3 will reportedly play at better sound quality than when they were recorded at the studio. Mac users can enjoy music with the Xmod as well. The device is powered by a USB port on your PC and the Xmod plugs in between the outputs to your headphones or PC speakers. You can also convert movies complete with CMSS-3D to simulate surround sound on standard PC speakers and headphones. CMSS-3D uses advanced techniques to place movie audio tracks on the virtual center channel and other sounds on virtual surround for improved performance.

Xtreme Fidelity standard is a very high-quality 24-bit surround audio. Creative points out that if you connect a MP3 player like the iPod, ZEN or other player you will need an external AC adapter to power the Xmod. Xmod makes it so you don't have to repurchase your music in different formats for higher resolution playback. Availability for the Xmod is slated for October with the MSRP set at $79.99.
