Should I get NimitraS or Nimitra + Nikola first?

 

NimitraS

 

I received similar questions from a few clients recently since NimitraS is $1895 and you can buy Nimitra + Nikola at about the same price too. After answering their questions, I believe it’s worth sharing my insights about this upgrade path.

Upgrading server with good linear power supply will really help your server shine a lot. I tested Nikola linear power supply with my own server, Roon Nucleus/Intel NUC, Mytek/exaSound/Yulong DAC and its worth upgrading for high quality power supply.

The question is actually more like whether you should spend $500 more on NimitraS upgrade or Nikola linear power supply first. If you choose NimitraS, you get SLC SSD and premium RAM upgraded with modification modification including high quality clock on USB audio.

If you choose Nimitra + Nikola, you get high quality linear power supply tuned with highend Esoteric transport as a reference for very low coloration sound and high neutrality. Both choices are good on its own with different ups and downs.

But if you have more budget in future, both choices will affect your upgrade path a lot. If you choose NimitraS first, you can just order NikolaS and you can enjoy the improvements with power supply upgrade immediately.

If you choose Nimitra + Nikola first, you will need to ship both products back to me first to apply Signature upgrade and wait until I finish and ship the upgraded products back. While I offer free shipping for upgrade combo, the waiting time without Nimitra is less desirable.

So I recommend to choose NimitraS over Nimitra + Nikola for your first purchase. Once you have more budget to further your upgrade path, you may consider adding NikolaS later. This way you don’t have to send your Nimitra + Nikola back for continuous music enjoyment. 🙂

Added DX200 Advanced ROM feedback from Lavitiana Tsimiala

 

DX200 - Purist ROM

 

Here’s another feedback today. He shared his feedback as a comment in my Facebook post about DX200’s Oreo V2 update as below.

Rom Oreo v2 Fidelizer installed, interface become much fluid reading DSD512 works very well with Mango Android, and Pure Mango. The Pure Mango Interface has become a little more fluid so usable, but I hope the fluidity will improve again. But it’s already a sick sound, wow, bravo. I recommend.

And here’s his original message in French before translation.

Rom Oreo V2 Fidelizer installee, interface devenu beaucoup fluide lecture Dsd512 fonctionne très bien avec mango Android, et mango pure. l’interface de mango pure, est devenu un peu plus fluide donc utilisable, Mais j’espère que la fluidité va s’améliorer encore. Mais c’est déjà un son de malade Waouh, Bravo. Je recommande.

Fidelizer Purist ROM doesn’t only improve sound quality with purist audio performance but also improve system performance and add quality of life improvements too. 🙂

Added Nimitra feedback from Ben-M

Here’s a new feedback today from a Nimitra customer who shared his feedback in Fidelizer Support thread recently.

Just as an update, Keetakawee scheduled and updated my Nimitra to the most recent version in only several minutes, then came back again to fix a start-up issue I caused by not mentioning my desired configuration to him earlier.

It’s the best, most pleasant, and thorough service I’ve ever had in audio. I’m a big fan of his company’s and highly recommend his hardware products as well.

I designed Nimitra to deliver real sound performance at affordable price with thorough services that audiophiles can enjoy the music without having to learn about computer audio setup. 🙂
