Here’s another feedback today. This time it’s from headphile user with a serious setup sharing the same reference headphone as mine.

I have never made a comparison of with/without Fidelizer. There are a couple reasons for this. Fidelizer loads automatically and there is no legitimate switch to easily turn it on or off without uninstalling it, at least as I understand it, and I may be wrong.

Secondly, I am not some golden eared wizard who insists on the best equipment/software/source chain, and tests and compares all the elements so I know I have the best. I am an old gray haired curmudgeon who’s music is centred in North America/Britain during the 60s, 70s and 80s, and some older jazz and classical. I buy moderately high end gear and try and get the best from my gear without sitting around trying to pick the fly shit out of the pepper shaker. I chose to buy Fidelizer after doing some lengthy research. People I respect said positive things about it and I went with it. I am not going to test relentlessly or agonize over the level of improvement. What I do know is when I come home and put my headphones on and turn up some well recorded and engineered music, my smile is very big, and it stays with me a long while. I am happy. Often when I am happy, I don’t care to analyze why, I just enjoy it.

Just for reference, I operate at home (desktop computer) Flac Files → JRiver → Fidelizer → NAD DAC → Woo Audio WA2 with upgraded tubes → Beyerdynamic T1.2 Headphones → Blissful Smile I use good, but not ridiculously expensive cables.

I use the laptop for playing music at the cottage I frequent a number of times through the summer. Flac Files → JRiver → Fidelizer → Audioquest Jitterbug → Micca Origen DAC/ HP Amp → Beyer T1s OR Marshall Killburn Speaker.

Thanks again.

I’m happy to hear feedback about Fidelizer from a serious headphile. Beyerdynamic T1 is also my number one headphone and it will be for a long while. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today from Fiio X5iii customer. He sent me his appreciation message Fidelizer Advanced ROM.

Hi Keetakawee

Thanks for the Fiio X5iii 1.1.7 firmware update, it sounds very nice.

Many Thanks

Glad to hear Fidelizer Advanced ROM bringing very nice listening experience for Fiio X5iii. 🙂

iBasso DX100/HDP-R10 Purist ROM version 1.4.2 released!

Fidelizer - DX100 Purist ROM

 

I was told new DX200 ROM is out now but allow me to release this first. In my early days of Android ROM optimizations, I got a chance to try optimizing DX100 ROM for my client once but couldn’t get the optimized ROM working due to my inexperience.

I recently got another chance to try on iBasso DX100 firmware again. Now I know more about Android and Linux so I can optimize both boot and system image without corrupting it. DX100 is quite slow with Gingerbread and Fidelizer Purist ROM helps a lot.

After modifying DX100 firmware, the client himself told me he’ll apply Fidelizer Ultimate Mod for completed hardware upgrade next. I also modified AK380Cu last week and have few more DX200, AK380Cu and Opus#2 to work on so this will take a while. 🙂

 

-Based on firmware version 1.4.2
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-Audio engine optimized for only audio playback (EQ/Gaplass features work)
-Bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine (Poweramp works now)

 

Download: iBasso DX100/HDP-R10 Purist ROM

Here’s another feedback today. He sent me his feedback after delivering Fidelizer Pro license for his laptop

I must say, this is really an improvement. I run an Altec A7 bi-amplified horn system with single ended triode amplifiers. It is extremely revealing. I listen to classical/opera. Solo voice is an extreme test.
Your software made an improvement that is startling. I’m very impressed. I will move on to your best software package shortly.

Thank you so much.
Best wishes.
Les

He also dumped his laptop and transferred the license to dedicated audio machine a week later for even better results. 🙂

Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola Linear Power Supply review on Positive Feedback by Larry Cox

 in Review

Fidelizer received Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice 2016 Award by Mr. Larry Cox’s nomination last year. After launching Nimitra Computer Audio Server, I contacted Mr. Larry Cox asking if he’s interested in reviewing Nimitra.

He told me he wasn’t sure if he can review it since computer audio isn’t something he’s familiar with and he’s using DSD only DAC which could be tricky to setup with Nimitra. With Teamviewer remote support, he can leave configuration parts to me.

He also reviewed Nikola linear power supply together with Nimitra too. It doesn’t have WOW effect being so neutral so it may take a while to shine in some systems. I’m glad to hear Nikola grew wonderfully in this review with Nimitra.

 

Nimitra Computer Audio Server

Keetakawee Punpeng of Fidelizer has put together a fine machine. The Nimitra is transparent in the ways that are good—letting the signal through seemingly unmolested, without being transparent in ways that are not good—lean, bleached or neutered. I think Punpeng has largely achieved his goal of a turnkey operation. Keetakawee provides the service you’re likely to need, does it quickly and so deftly removed most of my concerns about buying a computer from someone in another country.

 

Nikola Linear Power Supply

In the interest of being thorough rather than hopeful, I reinserted the Nikola linear power supply. Ohhhhh, wow, this time the Nikola was a welcome and noticeable addition. The most obvious changes were in the lower midrange, imparting a welcome bit of warmth and emotional content. There were more musical interludes that occurred as beautiful. This was clearly better than previous iterations. Keep in mind that this review, as with probably every other review, accentuates differences to make a point. The sound was very nice without the Nikola, but the Nikola added a dollop of more that was desirable. And yet, there was room for more.

I’d like to thank Mr. Larry Cox again for nominating Fidelizer for Writers’ Choice Award and kindly review Nimitra and Nikola again. I hope this will help audiophiles realize computer audio can have good sound and after sale services like Nimitra. 🙂
