Creative has announced a new little gadget that connects between your stereo speakers or headphones and your PC, Mac, iPod or any other digital audio source. The Creative Xmod enhances the low and high frequencies while improving audio dynamics for cleaner and richer sound.

“There are more than 100 million people who listen to MP3, WMA or AAC music on their PCs, Macs or iPod or ZEN players, but the quality of this compressed music is highly compromised. The Creative Xmod enables them to listen to their music with audio that sounds even better than CDs,” said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. “Now with Creative Xmod, all your music is instantly upconverted to the Xtreme Fidelity standard in real time through a simple and compact device!”

I’m not sure if the Xmod will make a poorly compressed MP3 file sound better than the CD, but it probably improves the listening experience. The Xmod also contain a virtual surround sound chip. The price is $79.99.
