It depends with your setup, and your ear too. It benefit more on lossy codec like mp3 rather than lossless, as it increased the impact on low and high frequency
Look here for what it done to frequency spectrum  |

In fact I was just about to ask regarding the Crystalizer i'm using the fatality from bliz btw  From what I read, it enchances the sound and suppose to make the SQ better but it only gives an advantage to low/mid range speakers. For the higher end ones, they'll turn it off. I tried on my Elite Pro and it does make a difference but I only had it at 20%-25%. It defaults at 50% but I feel it doesn't sound good at that point  |

The mp3's is a bit crispier and nicer to listen with some Crytalizer turned on. I guess it's more of personal preference but anything above 50% makes the music sounds weird though.
Btw, do we really need to plug in the extra power for the X-Fi Elite Pro? I can run without the extra power now. |

QUOTE(Deerc @ May 11 2008, 01:52 AM) i dun thk the extra power is needed.. maybe to power the I/O console onli The review says it's needed to power the card since standard PCI slot doesn't provide enough power. However the review was done in 2005 so perhaps motherboards which are available today no longer have such problems I manage to run it fine but wondering if it's better to put the power connector. |

If you asked me, all these are useless. If you want the best quality, buy original CD and rip them to lossless. If you don't have much money, try to look for lossless online i am on edifier s530d.. |

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Mar 29 2008, 06:57 AM) just depends on the speaker used...below i do a simple test by using RMAA 6.0.6 to compare the Crystallizer function and the EQ and Bass/Treble knob... This post has been edited by coolkwc: May 11 2008, 11:40 AM1. Frequency Respond Curve between Crystalizer, EQ and Bass/Treble knob... 
EQ setting to simulate 50% crystalizer level 
Bass 60%/Treble 58% to simulate 50% crystalizer level 
So, crystalizer is just the function that can simply simulated by using EQ and Bass/Treble knob... |

If you don't mind OEM stuffs, you can get the Fatality from Garage Sales. I think that's more worth it
