The Xmod lets you wirelessly play music from your PC on your home theater.

Creative's Xmod Wireless system connects your PC to your home theater and plays your tracks using an X-Fi Wireless Receiver, which the company claims produces a sound that is better than CD quality. According to Creative, X-Fi is its audio standard that combines the X-Fi Crystalizer and the X-Fi CMSS-3D. The X-Fi Crystalizer enhances the audio quality of songs that have been damaged by compression in the MP3 format, and the X-Fi CMSS-3D creates a virtual surround sound for headphones and speakers.

The Xmod Wireless connects to your PC with USB, and the receiver connects to a speaker system or home theater, in any room of your home up to 100 feet away so you can wirelessly listen to music without the need for a wireless network.

The Xmod features several music playback modes, including broadcast mode, where several receivers play your tracks in different rooms. The Xmod also has a zone mode, where a user can turn on or off up to four different receivers independently with the bundled remote control, and only listen to music in specific rooms.

The Creative Xmod Wireless, including one X-Fi Wireless Receiver is available immediately and retails for $200. Additional X-Fi Wireless Receivers will set you back $100.
