WARNING: Do not flash iBasso DX200’s Oreo Purist ROM on iBasso DX150 device

 in Feedback, News

iBasso released DX150 Oreo Beta ROM today and some people tried to get Purist ROM from DX200 working on DX150 device. Both device may look similar with the same Rockchip processor but they different kernel and probably different implementation of some parts too.

Flashing DX200’s Purist ROM on DX150’s Oreo beta ROM will not work and it may even damage DX150 device. Right now I don’t have DX150 with me. It’s already sold to fellow audiophile in Thailand but I’ll try to get another unit soon so stay tuned. 🙂

Updated PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations for Fiio X5iii

 in News

Fidelizer - PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations 2.0
For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

After launching PerfectDynamics for iBasso DX200 which is my reference unit, now it’s time for the most popular DAP Fiio X5iii to receive PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations update.

Since X5iii has Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM, it doesn’t have CPU Set concept which was introduced in Marshmallow 6 ROM, I made other adjustments to help instead. Background tasks will gain more CPU share but real time process will be minimized for quad core. 🙂

 

There’s a lot of improvements for Advanced ROM and I also added Enhanced ROM into collection too. Please read Portable Products for more details including Fidelizer Mod project with 3 modification levels. Happy listening. 🙂

Fidelizer 8.3 released – Improved hardware key’s compatibility on dual boot and Windows Update, AudiophileRenderer and JPLAY Femto support, and 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper fix

 in News

 

Fidelizer Pro

 

Hello everyone. After releasing version 8.2, I spent most of my time fixing the remaining issues with fidelizer.key generation algorithm. I’m truly sorry for the trouble all these times but version 8.3 will have full coverage of fidelizer key data fixes now.

In this release, the older keys you got before will still work as long as associated hardware is still present. This will fix issues with Windows Update and different hardware device order issues on dual boot for good.

While fixing the key generation algorithm, I also realized the root cause with Windows Server in core mode. The reason is fidelizer as a shell may run before important services sometimes and I made sure they’ll run properly now.

I also fixed 32-core processor bug issue that happen after releasing version 8.2 too. This issue has been fixed internally for a long while because it breaks functionality and I’m glad to see it’s officially addressed and resolved in 8.3.

Download: Fidelizer 8.3
Upgrade: Fidelizer Upgrade Program

 

Fidelizer Plus/Pro users should be received a mail about update and download link by now. If you somehow didn’t receive an update notification as I received some delivery failure message too, please contact me for an update with your customer data to verify.

 

Last month I found a rare gem called Audiophile uPNP Renderer. It’s true audiophile uPNP streaming platform playing only FLAC/WAV/AIFF format. It sounds really good for free software. Sadly, it doesn’t support DSD and ASIO but you can mix with VST too.

I also added new applications into compatibility list including new JPLAY Femto release and some new apps requested from clients. Windows 10 updates that have more processes related to audio performance will be handled properly now too. 🙂

 

Added testimonial from Whitigir

 in Feedback

Here’s a new feedback today. This time it’s from Head-Fi member name Whitigir. He bought Fidelizer Pro right after trying Advanced ROM for DX200.

Excellent K!

I freaking love your Fidelizer. It hugely improved my YouTube streaming on Windows PC and HQPlayer !! Less laggy even though when booted up, Fidelizer running and it took a few seconds than I used to.

The sound improvements here is pretty good, very Similar to DX200 Purist ROM, only that it is still Neutral where DX200 is a tad warmer (which is great too as DX200 has always been boring and lifeless) ! This is just Awesome !

I paid for your Pro version blindly as I witnessed how great the DX200 performed. Sure enough I was not disappointed !

In fact, I had always been desiring and craving for something that can stream YouTube better, and this is spot on! Only this feature is worth the money, let alone other improvements from HQPlayer app and so on.

Thanks K
Vince

I’m happy to hear good feedback from serious Head-Fier. It’s been a while since last time I heard about Fidelizer from Head-Fier. 🙂

JPLAY 7 Femto upgrade on Nimitra/NimitraS situation

 in News

After JPLAY 7 Femto was released, I tested the software and found issues with my test equipment so I held out the upgrade and recommend my clients to wait until I can confirm JPLAY 7 is stable enough. Nimitra is a turnkey solution and I need to make sure it will work fine before upgrading.

I continue to test JPLAY from time to time and now it has version 7D with USB Audio Class 1 issue workaround added as I request. I still stumple upon playback instability and after trying to work out with JPLAY staff, I think it’s ready to inform clients now.

 

JPLAY 7 Femto is now stable for most cases except some issues that happened with me as below.

1. USB Audio Class 1 DAC will work with Classic engine only
2. JPLAY Femto service can’t be played from JRiver Media Center library
3. JPLAY Femto library server will crash in mConnect Android app during browsing

 

If these issues won’t become an obstacle with your system, you can upgrade to JPLAY 7 Femto on Nimitra/NimitraS with JPLAY 7 Femto now. Setting up free trial version to test with Nimitra before upgrading is highly recommended. However, JPLAY 7 upgrade is for 64-bit version only!

For customers with 32-bit version, you can send unit back to me for 64-bit reinstallation. That’ll cost $100 USD. If you have Nimitra, you may consider upgrading to NimitraS at $500 USD with free 64-bit reinstallation version.

 

You can purchase JPLAY 7 Femto upgrade from JPLAY directly at 79 Euros. If you prefer to upgrade through Fidelizer, it’ll be $99 USD with PayPal conversion fee and some exchange rate buffer applied.

New JPLAY purchase in Nimitra/NimitraS will be a Classic version and can be upgraded to Femto as an optional upgrade. Please let me know if you have any question about Nimitra and JPLAY products and I’ll assist you with best of my abilities. Happy listening. 🙂
