Excellent is understatement
AE -5 plus replaced my 15 year old Xfi Xtreme music card. So let me tell you i am not new to Headphone AMP cards. I also happen to own HyperX Cloud S headphone which pretty good for music and gaming.
Coming back to AE-5 plus is like 3 or 4 level above Xfi Xtreme music. So if you are using Motherboard on board audio chip, you basically don't know how much you are missing out on quality of improved sound reproduction this cards offer. Even Xfi blows motherboard on board audio chips out of the water and AE-5 is couple of level above that.
Conclusion: If you want audio card - this is gold option.
(PS: Creative audio driver and command center are easy to install, no issues faced here)

Half a good Sound card, fast delivery, the worst software with LAG
Update Jan 16th 2020.
First the seller/vender had extremely fast delivery-god job.
Sound card hardware is good, very good volume with speaker or headphone, using Optical or Analog work good.
However I cannot recommend this sound card; if Creative cared they would have fixed their software 10 years ago.
LAG, LAG, LAG. STAY AWAY! Tried in 3 PCs, disabled onboard sound, disabled HDMI sound, still the AE-7 has Volume and recording LAG. the software is like for a Baby Boomer for control or sophistication and control.
Lag in all live Mic recordings, tried with very good Mics with Phantom power, all have Lag, Volume Lag, however sound playback has No lag, just Volume control and all recording.
for a $250+ sound card the software is an afterthought to them, I Stayed away from Creative for 10 years, this is again the last one I buy, maybe the new EVGA NU sound card.
2 of 3 desktops had fresh Windows 10 install, tried all PCI-e slots, even moved Video cards, old sound card worked, Onboard sound worked 100%, ZERO Lag.
Google it, the Lag issue has affected other cards going back to their AE-5 and now this AE-7 has the Lag issue
The issue is the Software, their Command center, if you close it, all lag is gone, however you lose all sound quality, it goes FLAT.
the Software itself is no better than 10 years ago, SHAME on you Creative, SHAME.
My old AZUNE Prelude 7.1, even if it was PCI slot, it almost kills this new card.
The Software and LAG is a Deal breaker.
Tried in 3 high-end PC, al have Corsair AX1200i 1 with i7 9700K with Asus Z390-E Gaming MB with 32G of DR4 with a 1080TI Sc, i7 7700K with Asus Maximus IX Hero with 16GB DDR4 with a EVGA 9800 TI SC. and i7 2600K with 16GB DDR3 EVGA 780TI Sc.
2 of 3 PC had fresh Windows 10 install. Boy I wasted time on this, 2 PC are water cooled.
I dont want to hurt the Vendor's Rep, they are god, but im really on the fence about returning this card, its like more time wasted; Ill buy the EVGA and try that for recording.
Had very fast delivery, however, However! I was tracking my package, I open my door at 1pm and there outside my 11th floor Apartment on the floor was my sound card! WOW, good thing im honest,
But its an ok upgrade, I think Creative-SB could do better with its software suit., the DTS is awI could have sad it never made it, no Signature, no Buzz, no Cell phone call, just left on the ground outside my door, its a good thing I have honest Neighbors.
Segway back-Software--I upgraded from AUZEN Prelude 7.1 and it was better in every way and its old..even on my Logitech Z-55000, tested Analog and Optical, its very nice, tested headphones and it blew me away, tested on Sennheiser "Urbanite"
Worth the $250 hardware forsure if your going to use them with a 5.1, but not for recordings or using Volume controls.
Get yourself some Optical and use DTS, its very nice.
just dont use the Volume or try to record. also all three had fully updated windows 10 1909 and all Windows are legit and even turned off Virus scanner, still LAG. I spent more in my time $$ than this card is worth in actual money.
Thank you.

Just Awesome
Awesome sound!!! I have asus xonar se too but this creative Soundblaster X AE5 plus is really very good
Crystal clear sound on games and movies and music.
Using my Sony ht s500rf with spdif cable and the sound is just unbelievable. Virtual dolby digital is too good even on YouTube music videos.
Looks are very beautiful too

Nice, Very Nice!
I've lived ten years with the Asus Xonar Essence ST so I'm used to quality sound from my PC. This card doesn't disappoint in that regard. I've got it hooked up to a quality Denon AVR via an analog connection and the sound is rich, detailed, and powerful.
The command module is a nice addition allowing me to control volume when listening via headphones, again the sound is amazing.
Pros: Easy installation on Win 10
Options for digital and analog output
Good SB software with equalizer, and other sound enhancements.
Good price/quality ratio.
Looks great, subtle lighting highlighting the Sound Blaster name, and AE-7 model.
Cons: Nothing so far.
I'm very pleased with the purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for quality sound from lossless streaming (Tidal), and music files

Finally the amazing sound I expected
I have used "creative x-fi titanium fatal1ty" for about 10 years and loved the sound it produced on my headphones. Until its drivers started giving problems on newer versions of Windows 10. I moved to "Creative Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD USB External Sound Card" and I wasn't satisfied with the sound I was getting... I also tried the built in sound/DAC with my Gigabyte X570 MB and was not satisfied... until "Creative Sound Blaster AE-7". Finally detailed and powerful sound with all the sound customization I wanted. It worked out of the box, no issues with the software, download and run installer and works. After plugging in the card I wasn't prompted for drivers and it was recognized in device manager right away. However I had to install the software to switch from speakers to headphone mode. Love it.

Great soundcard, works perfectly OOTB.
Recently purchased one of these cards to "upgrade" from my onboard Realtek ALC-892 based audio codec.
Seems like an exceptionally solid card. This one doesn't require an additional power connector (unlike the AE-5 and AE-9), which is a nice benefit in my opinion. Just plug it into a PCI-e slot and go. I did have to install the drivers, but the drivers seem fairly compact (it's about a 120mb download) and work reasonably well. DTS Connect and Dolby Live (I tried both) work exceptionally well over SPDIF, which is a wonderful benefit since I don't think I've ever been able to use surround sound on my Z-5500s before (at least, not over optical).
Sound quality out of the 3.5mm jacks seems pretty excellent through a pair of Shure SE-535s. Dunno what else to say- apart from DTS Connect and Dolby Live, all I was looking for was a solid card to "make sound" and this one seems to do that exceptionally well. The drivers do have some extra frivolous features built into them that I don't care for, but the UI seems reasonably well designed enough and they stay out of my way when they're disabled so I don't really mind. All in all, it's pretty much exactly what I'd expect from a modern day sound card.

Works Well Finally
Bought this to replace Soundblaster Z soundcard. Install of software had some issues with old drivers and windows 10 updates interfering with audio ..now with newer drivers by creative seem to fix some issues at hand with correct speaker configuration on 5.1 speaker setup..sound quality is noticeably crisper.. Have it setup well now on an Asus am4 x570 with 3600x etc etc..vendor shipped fast!! Overall pleased with purchase !!

Gute Farben, gute Magnete
Bin eigentlich zu frieden mit den LED Stripes, jedoch sind mir bereits 2 Stripes kaputt gegangen, ohne Grund! Sie haben einfach nicht mehr geleuchten... dazu wäre eine Musik Steuerung noch cool, aber ansonsten sind die Farben sehr kräftig und man hat viele Funktionen! Das tolle ist auch, Sie halten voll magnetisch am Gehäuse.

Unbedingt Software beachten!
Wenn man die einzelnen Stripes ansteckt, kann es sein, dass erst mal nichts geht, ohne in der Sound Blaster Software die Anzahl der zu beleuchtenden LEDs zu erhöhen! Unbedingt beachten, bevor man es als defekt zurück geben will!

Very good sound, but some shortcomings for the audio engineer
As someone coming from the Soundblaster X-Fi Elite Pro, I find the sound quality is just as superior. There are two shortcomings about this card though compared to the Elite Pro. First, the volume knob on the Audio Control Module (ACM) does not control the volume of the speakers, only the headphones. That was a feature I liked a lot on the Elite Pro: not only did the knob control the speakers volume but pushing that button muted the volume without havng to click with the mouse in Windows. Second, to change from speakers to headphones, one only had to insert the headphones jack in the ACM to automatically disengage the speakers and activate the headphones without having to open the soundblaster management software and clicking on the speakers or headphones icon. This feature is very handy when comparing speakers vs headphones sound when engineering an audio mix. I am sure these functionalities could be implemented in future cards. Probably not needed for gamers or casual users but useful for audio engineers.

AE-7 vs AE-9 vs AE-5 vs Topping DX7 Pro = AE7
I compared all these audio devices and came to a conclusion that AE-7 is the best choice. This is very subjective and does not take into consideration amount of inputs and outputs. I used Beyerdynamics DT 1770 pro.
AE-7 sounds the best to my ears and not worse than AE-9 and Topping. Considering price and sound quality AE-7 is the best choice for my setup. I do not game and listed to flacs and mp3, sometimes DSD as well as DSD over PCM (same thing, some flacs are coded much better than dsd). For music clarity and details - AE-7 is great. difference between mentioned above devices is negligible (i mean in music sounding, functionality and setup is a different story). hope this helps someone

Absolute must for all computers
I rarely leave 5 star reviews, but this thing is a must-have in all computers! Beautiful crisp sound for music and gaming. Pair it up with good quality speakers and you're good to go. The creative drivers and software suite has come a long way since 2006 when I first bought a sound card from them. Back in those days, it would cause my computer to freeze during Battlefield 2. The sound quality was nowhere near what it is now. The software is a breeze to use and it *never* glitches. I also DJ with a pioneer DDJ-400 mixer. The software that comes with pioneer is glitchy, but I've never had any issues with the sound card while mixing. It is an absolute must, buy it now! If you're hesitant about getting it, GET IT NOW!

Great sound card
Great sound card . My primary use it to hook to AV receiver and watch movies over spdif. The sound is far more improved from mother board sound card . The headphone sound is also great .
The LED lightings are great.
Only disappointment is 32bit/96hz sound is sent through only stereo output. 24bit/96hz is the maximum sent over spdif output. That's why -1 star.

Full of Bugs. Really Disappointing at This Price POINT
Bought AE-7 and from the very first day it has been full of bugs, be it the card or Sound Blaster app. I have three PCIE ports and have tried the card in all three but every other day I have to uninstall and install the drivers. Then it would work okay for a day or two and then again system doesn't read the card. I also installed the card in my other system (with different MoBo) just to check and the same problem persists. Please don't buy this, go for external sound card.

Audiophile quality sound
For around 20 k this is the best sound card available in market right now. It supersedes any other on board sound card and also blows off some entry level AV receivers as well. The SABRE class 9018 DAC used here is awesome and you can feel the nuances of sound. Be sure to invest in some quality headphone and speaker system if you are planning to buy this one.

AE-7 Early Adopter Blues
I purchased the new Soundblaster AE-7 due to it's impressive hardware that should have meshed well with my desktop 5.1 surround speaker system and my headphones due to the included DAC and bi-amp. The card does sound great on speaker and on headphones...when it's working. As of this date (10/1/19) the AE-7 is experiencing 'audio stop' on my Asus TUF Gaming X-570 Plus WiFi motherboard. This problem is reportedly common on PCIe 4.0 motherboards of all brands. Audio stops playing randomly and can only be restarted by changing playback modes in the included Creative software. The issue does not cause Windows 10 to crash and is not a hardware stop, it is driver related meaning as a purchaser you are out of luck until the Creative driver team (which is aware of the problem and is working hard to find a fix) can implement a solution. For now I have to rate this just 2 stars and recommend that anyone who is building a new PC using an X-570 chipset avoid this card for now. I will edit this review if and when a working driver is available.

Item failed, no support to be found
Do not rely on Creative products if you want to expect to have any sort of warranty backing up the hardware you pay for. They offer no support for items purchased through Amazon - I cannot even open a ticket on their website.
This item worked great for 2 months and then suddenly failed. It completely ceased to function. I do not trust brands that make it hard to get support for their products when they stop working as intended. Creative proves themselves to be of the lesser companies that do not stand by their products. I will no longer use Creative products.
Update: The sound card has not completely failed. After further investigation, the issues appear to be due to the 12-month old, horribly written software drivers for this card. Creative support has no contact number and will not help at all since I did not purchase it from them, and says to contact Amazon, where I am well outside of my return window. Will never be purchasing from Creative again.

AE7 audio drops off to 1900's quality! Talk about a Sound Blaster from the past!
Sound was working for one week. Bought on Oct 20th, 2019. Experiencing the audio drop off issues like everyone else is. I went through all their reddit post 'fixes' and sorry they don't work. I'm done being a 'work-for-free' tech for creative while I try to help them fix their brand new product they sold me. Tech support gets a 3 star for trying but also a 3 star for not fixing anything yet.
Bottom line is... what good is ANY sound card if it plays sound like a scratchy 1900's record?
For $200+ no one should have to repair anything brand new!
I'm just thankful the return period is still available. My onboard realtek will have to do (yuk!)
