Fidelizer Enhanced / Advanced ROM updates for DX150 / DX200 / X5iii / X7 / X7ii

 in News

 

Portable Products

 

I posted about finishing PerfectDynamics 2.0 before attending Munich Show before. There were some progress but it’s still not considered as ready for PerfectDynamics 2.0. So I’ll release bugs fixing version instead.

As some people reported about random stability issues, I later find out that some native apps are relying on debugger and log services for I/O exception handling. Removing those services will result error beyond handling and cause system reboot.

These symptoms doesn’t happen with everyone so if you’re using Enhanced / Advanced ROM without any issue, you won’t need this update. If you have some issues that doesn’t happen with free Purist ROM, you can ask me for sending new ROM update.

I hope this will be good chance for you to consider upgrading Fidelizer software. I also made adjustments to have fidelizer.key filled automatically when you use “Order Fidelizer” button in Fidelizer software. I hope this will make order process easier. 🙂

Roon 1.5 test results with NimitraS featuring DSD and MQA with DSP

 in Article

 

Roon 1.5

 

Few days ago Roon released version 1.5 which is a major upgrade improving Linn, Tidal, and MQA support. There were sound signature changes in 1.4 making the sound too bright so I immediately checked on version 1.5 and here’s my findings.

I tested Roon 1.5 with NimitraS I’m going to bring to Munich show and use eXD audio interface for native DSD playback and converting MQA tracks to DSD format. It looks like they resolved brightness issue and Roon sounds musical again with improved transparency.

I checked audio output options and found new MQA options which freely allow user to use software (Decoder) and hardware (Renderer) to decode MQA files. Using Decoder will work with any output and Renderer will only work with MQA-capable device.

I also tested MQA with DSP such as Crossfeed to for my Rudistor RP030 + Beyerdynamic T1 and DSD upsampling for eXD interface with Emm Labs DSD playback. It worked fine and sounds very good.

So far I’m very happy with Roon 1.5 upgrade. It didn’t cause a huge mess with database like 1.3 upgrade and sounds better to my liking. I can search through Tidal better with official MQA support.

PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations will be introduced in Munich 2018 AV Show

 in News

 

Fidelizer - PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations

 

PerfectDynamics technology is device-specific optimizations for Enhanced / Advanced ROM introduced on 1st October 2017. In upcoming Munich 2018 AV Show, I’ll introduce PerfectDynamics 2.0 with iBasso DX200 and Fiio X5iii device.

During development of PerfectDynamics’ initial version, iBasso DX200 and Fiio X5iii didn’t get the better sounding version of firmware and they later improved in over time. After I tried DX150 2.9 firmware port on DX200, I feel it’s ready to take this to the next level.

Having good sounding firmware to optimize is very important because sometimes you can’t be sure whether this optimization will really improve over all performance or just compesate the flaw with firmware itself. Even now I’m still not sure that I can finish it before the show lol.

 

PerfectDynamics 2.0 Goals:

-Fix random crash and reboot in some scenarios (90% – Fixed stability issues with boot image optimizations)
-Decay, depth and imaging will be important than clarity and separation (60% – Tuning I/O optimizations)
-Transient dynamics will have improved linearity which will also reduce digital glare effect (40% – Tuning PerfectDynamics specific optimizations)
-Full sound reproduction will take higher priority than making audio sounding pure (40% – Tuning audio optimizations)

 

If I can archive all that, PerfectDynamics 2.0 will make Linux based audio performance becoming closer to Fidelizer’s optimizations in Windows. I’ll start working today on iBasso DX200 first and I hope to master PerfectDynamics 2.0 before the show. 🙂
