Here’s another feedback today. This is the first DX200 AMP1 with Fidelizer Ultimate Mod after over 10 of DX200 with Fidelizer Ultimate Mod as whole unit.
Hi. Got the amp. Good job, perfect match with kse1500
Thanks
I’m glad to hear My DX200 with Fidelizer Ultimate AMP1 Mod works great with KSE1500. Happy listening. 🙂
Here’s a new feedback today. This time it’s from Fidelizer 8 Pro customer experimenting with new features.
Hi Keetakawee,
Thanks so much. I am testing it, right now. I use the Audiophile, Audio Render configuration. Setting the Processor Priority Policy to long/variable, makes the sound even sounding better. Amazing.
Thanks again! I cannot imagine my running my media server without Fidelizer anymore.
Kind regards, Laszlo
I’m happy to hear Fidelizer Pro 8 works great on his system. I can’t imagine using server without Fidelizer anymore too. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today. This time it’s from Fidelizer 8 Plus customer.
The only thing better than your customer service, is the improvements you get in sound quality. It’s always great re-listening to my whole music collection whenever there’s an update!
v 8.0 sounds smoother and more open. Very enjoyable, thanks
When audio system gets better for real, audiophiles can’t help but re-listening to whole music collection again. I’m happy to hear Fidelizer helps his system to that extent and happy listening. 🙂
I hoped to release version 8.1 before Valentine’s day but there were more cases to be resolved related to security having a few internal changes until it’s more stable enough.
While fixing reported issues one by one, I also was flooded with over 100 mails per day in during the first week of Fidelizer 8 release so fixing every reported issues took me longer than expected but it’s finally done now.
New features such as Core Isolation policy and execution with music player application are working properly now. I also found core affinity optimization didn’t work properly with new algorithm so I fixed that too.
I also improved permanent optimizations in Fidelizer Pro with rounding technique. Fidelizer Pro analyzes RAM calibration with 250MB block. If system detects 3.93GB with 64MB for VGA, RAM calibration will apply optimizations as 3.75GB.
With nearly 200MB miscalculated, audio tasks won’t perform according to ideal optimizations with tonal shift. By adding rounding technique with 125MB threshold, 3.93GB RAM will be treated as 4.0GB which is closer to ideal case.

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. 🙂

Last year Nimitra was included in Stereophile’s Class B Recommended Components: Fall 2017 which is a huge landmark for Fidelizer products. It’s amazing to see Stereophile staff contacting small company reviewing their first product and get Class B in its first year.
Stereophile published Recommended Components: 2018 Edition on 15th March 2018 and Nimitra is also included in 2018 list as Class B Media Player. I’m really thankful to Mr. Kal Rubinson and Mr. Steven Plaskin for their support and their advice.
Fidelizer Nimitra Server: $1395
A fanless implementation of an Intel Celeron J1900 2GHz processor, the Nimitra is the first server from Thailand-based Fidelizer, who specialize in using Windows as a music-playback platform. Measuring only 8.9″ by 7.9″ by 1.7″ and supplied with an outboard power supply (a 12V brick; Fidelizer’s larger and reportedly better Nikola supply is a $495 option), the Nimitra is bundled with dBPoweramp’s Asset UPnP file access and the JPlay app for streaming output—and is, as KR reported, multichannel-compatible. Kal used the Fidelizer Nimitra with his miniDSP uDAC-8 multichannel processor—”setup was almost trivial,” he said—and found the combination “absolutely delightful,” and “easily the equal of” his Mac mini–based server: “Finally, a great-sounding and affordable multichannel server that works with USB or with HDMI!” (Vol.40 No.7 WWW)
They earned my respect not only for reviewing products for niche interests but also for their professional support and services while reviewing products too. After receiving so much support, I decided to return the favor by advertising in Stereophile and AudioStream starting in April 2018. 🙂
