Added EtherStream feedback from Bill Gaw

 

EtherStream - Main

 

Here’s another feedback today from a client who ordered Fidelizer Pro and EtherStream. He received unit recently and shared his impressions.

Unit received. Thank you for the rush. MaRKED IMPROVEMENT IN sound. Have lost a funny digital grunge and increased information throughput. Amazon Prime HD audio and Berlin Philharmonic channel now sound great. Thank you again. Will spread the word.

Bill Gaw

I’m happy to hear EtherStream helps him enjoying music with streaming services. EtherStream can help a lot in appreciating classical performance from streaming services. 🙂

Added iBasso DX220 with Fidelizer Masterpiece Mod feedback from dhc0329

 

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a customer who purchased iBasso AMP8/AMP9 with Fidelizer Signature Mod before went later completed Masterpiece Mod with DX220 main body modification.

I don’t know about the advanced rom but fidelizer did a remarkable job modding the amp9. The level of depth
I get is beyond what I have ever experienced going even deeper than n8. This is organic to dripping max,
not to mention sounding so vivid and realistic. Feel like I finally got the sound I deserve! The fidelizer
guy must have been smoking something real potent while he was cooking my amp9 tube circuit.
Hope this wasn’t coincidental. 🙂

He also purchased a new iBasso DX220 DAP with main body mod instead instead of sending back unit to apply modification so he could compare stock and modified unit side by side. 🙂

Added EtherStream feedback from Philippe Watel

 

EtherStream - Main

 

Here’s another feedback from my friend Philippe Watel, founder of MusiCHI software and audio products. He shared his feedback from zero hour to fully burn in.

Brand new not much difference (a bit but not wow)
After 1 hour things started to be improving (time to warm up ?)
and now after 2 weeks (I think capacitors need to brake in) it really shows an improvement: tighter bass, more details, better sound stage in the placement of the instruments.
I connected back my old Dlink switch to make sure and I would not install it back.
So I am very happy with the purchase, if someone has an expensive digital rig, you get an improvement with reasonable investment. totally worth it (it is less than most “audiophile” USB cables).
One thing, though to help the overall sound, I did upgrade ALL my ethernet cable to cat8, and router and switch are powered by low noise linear PSU.

It’s good to see testimonial starting from zero hour to fully burn in. At first I didn’t notice big improvements for local playback too because I developed this to improve quality of streaming services but it got a lot better after fully burn in as well. 🙂
