Here’s a new feedback today. Today it’s from a happy headphone customer after receiving 7.3 update.

Tanks for your Fidelizer update 7.3
This is a big upgrade. The imaging is more precise. Complex orchestra are more more clean less comfuse. The bass are better, the medium are better.
The sound is more dynamic and i understand more lyrics.
The only little complaint his for the hight; they seem less sweet less melodius more hard.
Chord Instruments (Violins, Guitars . . . ) and drums have moore vibrations, richer
The imaging is larger, deeper. The music is more dancing. I have a better perception of the instuments position on the stage.
I have headphone ByerdinamicT1 that i have been tweek. I have an excellent DAC and excellent Headphones amp all of this is interconnect with firts class cables. The USB power come fron a separate amp. My computer is all new and his master card have been choose for his sound quality. All of theses équipments and cables have been tweek with sylver paste, over grounded and protect from vibrations. I use Jriver, Jplay, Fidelizer Pro, Process Lasso, Park Control and a marvelless Usb driver name “USB-Audio.de Asio driver”. This system with this kit of software give are very transparent sound system. It reveal that this 7.3 version is a marvelless upgrade.
I work with my computer with a lot of software open at the same time and 7.3 is less intrusive than 7.1 and 7.2.
Tanks a lot

I’m glad to hear 7.3 improves audio performance to another level. I wonder what he tweaked on his headphone.

Fidelizer 7.3 released – Improved compatibility with Hysolid and hyper-threading

 in News

I’ve heard about Hysolid news for a while but I was too busy to test it until recently. After testing Hysolid software, I realized it runs as music server platform without frontend so it’ll run on startup. As a result, Fidelizer will treat Hysolid processes as non-audio affecting audio performance. Now I’ve improved compatibility with Hysolid software.

I also improved hyper-threading mechanisms to detect actual FPU cores instead of physical processors. In some architecture like AMD FX that I’m using, it works like hyper-threading with two processor cores sharing the same FPU unit. This should improve audio and system performance better for Fidelizer Plus/Pro.

There’s some news about changes in repository platform. I received news about MediaFire Desktop being shutdown soon so I can’t maintain updating software like before. So I’ve merged repository with main website now. Due to certain limitations, I can’t host past versions so please forgive me if you’re troubled with this change.

Here’s another feedback today. He also sent me his feedback after delivering Fidelizer Pro 7.3 update today.

Thanks for the update.  Sounds terrific on Windows 10 with HQ Player.

Windows 10 + HQ Player is a killer combo with Fidelizer Pro 🙂

My JCAT USB Card impressions

 in Article

JCAT USB Card

 

I got this card from Marcin after he heard the news about building music server. The card arrived few days ago and I have my chance to listen to JCAT USB Card now. Let me warn you beforehand that I’m not reviewer so I’ll just say what I think about this card.

First, let’s see about the build quality. It’s very neat and solid card. I don’t like seeing an audiophile card being bloated with filters or mods that goes beyond its scale. JCAT USB Card is done right for commercial products. Some people may think it’s too expensive from its plain looks but chipsets and parts are chosen from high grade and PCB is done with good quality. There’s jumpers for power supply and filter. Good, I don’t like filter and I don’t have 2.1mm PSU to feed right now so I’ll use power supply from Seasonic Platinum PSU. It’s considered one of better PSUs for computers.

Next, let’s see how it sounds. I’m surprised. It’s like you’re listening to MP3 and then switch to FLAC. I used to hear ups and downs with other audiophile USB cards probably due to its massive filters. But JCAT USB Card make things much more evident than before. Headroom is increased with fuller dynamics and micro-detail. The music is much more alive with liquidity that I didn’t expect any USB Card to be able to pull this off.

Now let’s see how filters work. For the sake of trying, I’ll switch back and see how it turns out. The reason I don’t like filter because it’ll make the music sounds less live with compressed sound. I want fuller sound, live sound, and reveal everything as long as it’s clean enough. But JCAT USB Card’s filter changed my opinion about filter. It still has issues with compressed sound but in less significant manners. However, it’s really freaking cleaner while it retains most of music elements just fine. Look that DEEP AND TIGHT BASS. So deep, so tight, yet so smooth. I can’t believe I’m hearing this from USB Card listening to YouTube music. I think they can easily make USB filter product to sell separately just fine.

I normally don’t make a big impressions on products but this JCAT USB card is one of the best product I’ve heard from JPLAY. As expected coming from a guy who actually listen to music with real highend sources. There’s certain hits and misses that entry and mid-level products won’t understand but he delivered it finely at the price that is worthy for people who can afford. If you have budget and want the best things, JCAT USB Card will surely deliver it for you. It doesn’t look really stand out but it’s worth trying to get to the top of the hills.
