Anyone else wish the Sound Blaster Play! 4 (headphone DAC/dongle) were reviewed?

[effj]

I have a Sound Blaster Play! 4, so am biased in that I’d like it reviewed. A review would also inform my future purchases of headphone DAC/dongles, as I’d like to have multiple for different uses. Am considering a JCALLY JM20 as a 2nd dongle, but that’s not available from my favorite US retailer, AFAIK. If the Play! 4 measures really well, I assume people would love to know that, given the responses that I saw to the JM20 review. What do other people think?

Even if 100 people vote for a review, that will not result in one.

Amir simply reviews what people send in.

If no one sends in a Play! 4, then a review won't happen.

... I've never heard you suggest this before... lol. I wonder what percentage of your total posts have expressed this exact advice... and each time without snark.

I’ll gladly send a new one for review. I offered to send one before in a DM, but at that time it wasn’t a priority. I figured it would become a priority if other people expressed interest besides me.

Shocked this brand is still around.

I want their vintage sound cards tested!

I ended up buying a Fosi DS2, since it measures well among other things.

Given the lack of interest shown in the poll, I probably won’t bug Amir again about testing the Play! 4. It’s better not to waste his time.

Most people here recognize that Amir will review what he sends in and won't pay attention to a post like this. I don't think it reflects whether people would find the review useful.

I recently sent Amir an XLR-input headphone amp for use for stage monitoring during live shows for review. I don't really care how many other people find it interesting, it's interesting to me.

I have one too! But I am SHOCKED how nobody else has sent one in yet because it's one of the top sellers on Bezos Mart.
