Here’s a new feedback today from a customer with quite an elaborated computer audio server setup.
G’day,
I installed it and ran two services with it, MinorityClean.exe and Foobar 2000.
As you’d know, after I rebooted, it took a little while to configure things.I’m going to share a little about my hardware to possibly give you an insight into
my experience and the feedback that will follow. My computer is an industrial 4 core Intel (
8watts) laptop RAM, in a fanless case. With HDPlex 200W linear power supply separately powering
two SSD’s (one for WinServer 2012R2, other WAV files), the motherboard, and a JCat Femto USB card.
Curious Cables (silver core) USB into a relatively unknown DAC (it’s about midway between PS Audio DirectStream
and Denifrips Terminator for $2K Australian) into a Datasat RA-2400 (2 x 400watt) amplifier. The signal wire is all copper ribbon wire,
2 inches wide for speaker cables. Into a pair of Lenehan Audio ML2’s (Duelund internals) set on springs for isolation.The room has no treatment, it’s just a big box – I’m working on it now.
So.. what happened to the sound after your Fidelizer did it’s business? First I thought the bass diminished a fair bit,
and tightened it up a lot. I thought the horrible muddy sound in the bass was from my room modes. Obviously,
it was not just that, for as I listened further the bass was now revealed with the rest of the music. The bass became more
controlled and articulate, I could hear the skin of the drum in the bass sound. Instead of a pressure wave in the lower frequencies (midbass wasn’t as noticeable), it sounded more
like an instrument (even in my untreated room).
My speakers are isolated on springs, and are without a doubt the best engineered item in my system, they measure very well
both electrically, and sonically on and off axis. Fidelizer turned my computer into a real music server, and what I thought was
a pretty good sound stage revealed so much more going on in the recording. It’s a bit like those pop up books where as you
open the pages the images unfold and give you a layered 3d image with depth. Yeah well, the pages have opened for my music.I’ve gone and purchased Jplay FEMTO and I’ll be spending time on the forum to see what’ll work for me. I have reasonably good hardware,
just needed to get the software, now room treatment! Your program is the very first computer enhancer I have tried, with MinorityClean.exe simultaneously.Thank you so much for a product that delivers!
For the same cost as my speaker springs, it does about the same in revealing the music!Many thanks,

I’m happy to hear that Fidelizer can turn his computer into a real music server delivering more revealing performance for only $69.95 USD. 🙂
