The Creative SoundBlaster G8 is one of the best gaming DACs for live streamers. It’s an excellent tool that can bring together sound from more than one device. It’s probably best suited for use with gaming consoles and PCs. If you are a live streamer or gamer, the Creative SoundBlaster G8 offers a lot for the money. Its closest rival is probably the RØDE Streamer X, but it is unique in what it offers and a versatile piece of kit that can do a lot for the money, especially with the power of the Creative app behind it.

Having used the Creative Sound Blaster G8 for the last two weeks or so testing it, I can pretty much say that it has found a permanent place in my setup. I liked how I didn't need to keep switching my speakers between my MacBook Pro and desktop PC, and the sound quality is excellent. I do mind that it only comes with two USB-C cables, and no 3.5mm ones to connect my analog devices. At S$239, the Creative Sound Blaster G8 is definitely a good deal for those who are looking for even more of an edge in gaming, or those who want to take their PC audio setup to the next level

I would generalise that the Sound Blaster G8 is a 2-channel audio mixer that supports two USB digital audio inputs, a unique capability while most audio mixers just offer analog or at most one USB input. It is also unique to support HDMI ARC audio input. If your setup requires these audio connectors, then Sound Blaster G8 is a god-send.

With all of the improvements, and at only around $40-50 more (advertised on Creative at $149.99), it’s one of the easiest purchases you can make and I recommend it wholeheartedly without question. It will also be replacing my longtime gaming favorite G6, even though both are still good products.

I remember my early days of high quality computer sound, and Creative Sound Blaster was the go to option with my experience of the Audigy Series. Other competitors came along, but Creative still remains strong and brings forth the Sound Blaster G8 set in the new era of gaming and streaming. What hooked me and had me giddy as a teenage boy opening a fresh copy of Call of Duty involved the discrete headphone amplifier, and the dual input source. I quickly got to work enjoying the nuances of a computer soundcard with new digs and skins, but with minor reminders of the intended audience is gamer first, polished audio enthusiast second.

For my very basic use case with the “PC/Mac” setup, the Sound Blaster G8 works well as an all-in-one hub where I can get consistently tuned audio output be it playing audio from either my PC or Mac...Without testing its the gaming experience with consoles, the Sound Blaster G8 still shines as multimedia powerhouse as caters to the wide variety of use cases whether it is listening to music, watching movies, streaming, or even for work.
