I have discussed this things with a person from Creative. He admitted that the Xtreme Audio doesn’t use the CA20K1. And in the future, “X-Fi” logo will become Creative’s trade mark for high quality sound. No matter what’s the chipset inside. So, from this moment, we can expect a lot of “X-Fi” logo and device from Creative mixed with and without the CA20K1 inside. I guess the price can be used as the simplest method to identify whether you will have the CA20K1 or not inside the device. The lowest on the rank should be the X-Fi Xtreme Music. If you see an X-Fi with price lower than this, expect to find it without CA20K1.
