Here’s a new feedback today. He shared his feedback of Fidelizer Nimitra streamer after upgrading upcoming Nimitra firmware 7.0 as below.
Ok, here goes. I waited to do 3 different listening sessions a day apart before I sent this, to make sure I was hearing what I was hearing.
frankly, I can’t even believe what I’m hearing. When you said “massive”, you were not exaggerating. This is bloody amazing. Let me try to put this into words, and I wanna remind you that I’m 65 years old, and worked in Hollywood for 30 years as a session musician, and sound engineer in music and film. I still do, but remotely from the east coast. And my audiophile uncle gave me a small tube system to start playing vinyl when I was 7 or 8.
If I didn’t know better, I would have immediately said this was not just an improvement over the prior Fidelizer versions; its like a complete re-write. Holy Toledo. The sound is even more relaxed than it was, its clearer, and more dynamic, without sounding pushy or hyped. More detail and instrument separation. Reverb trails apparent in places I didn’t notice them before.
I have reference tracks that I’ve been using with my systems for decades …rock, blues, jazz, classical, pop, you name it. Orchestras in pop and jazz are clearer, and more forward. I’m getting chills as I’m hearing this right now. Its like my whole system quality just went up another 50%!
The soundstage definitely got deeper. Not wider, and thats good, b/c I don’t need that. Instruments in the foreground came more forward but are still balanced and cohesive in the mix.
This is major, but you know that 🙂
I’m in awe of your expertise K. It amazes me when I come across these moronic threads where these guys say Fidelizer doesn’t do anything, and you can’t measure it, etc.
Just shows how many tone deaf and ignorant people are loose on this planet. Bob Clearmountain, Bob Katz, George Massenburg, Tom Sholtz, etc etc etc have all spoken about how the human ear hears differently than any method of measurement.
Hope I didn’t bore you, I could go on, and I prolly will at another time after more listening, both myself and with friends who know my system very well.
I’m gonna say this one more time, and I’m not trying to be dramatic. I really don’t believe what I’m hearing. My system has sounded really good for some time, and I haven’t felt the need to upgrade anything, but its like someone snuck in the other night while I was asleep and replaced everything I have! It was you lol.
Thank you SO MUCH.
I’m happy to hear that he appreciates this Nimitra firmware upgrade as a complete rework and happy listening. 🙂
