Here’s a new feedback today. This time it’s from happy Fidelizer Plus user.
Hi,
I am totally pleased with the Fidelizer Plus 7.1!
I can work at my PC hearing music without any interrupts with working Bluetooth an WLAN. I use it in consumer audio configuration. The improvment from the free version to the plus version is clearly sensible.
Thank you and have a nice day,
Carsten
Glad to hear it works well with Bluetooth and WLAN. It’s assuring to hear the improvements without drawbacks. 🙂
After releasing version 7.0 for a while, I received a few of reports about usability problems since we have major UI changes. I didn’t expect the case of 800×600 resolution and high DPI scaling screen problems before releasing. I spent most of the time refining UX experience so it should work fine for all cases now.
I also fixed launching media player application bugs related to core affinity by enforcing execution to run with all cores. It should resolve reported performance issues now. After fixing all important bugs, I hope to improve audio optimizations better in future releases.

Oh…..I didn’t meant to choose this day as an April Fools’ joke. It’s just a pure coincidence, really. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today. Glad to see more thorough feedback from happy customer today.
Hi,
Well I tried your FPro 7.0 last night, and it is all that people have said it is.
More low level detail, more depth, more space around people and sounds in the recording. You hear new details and the decay of notes in the recording space..
Less glare, more fullness to the sound. Most noticeable for me on piano.
Voice has a more 3-D sonic quality, more lifelike. Again, more fullness and roundness to the vocalist.
I played around with various configurations, changed media players, reset to basic workstation then back to purist, all good, no trouble.
Is it worth the price you charge? – Well I am a happy customer, and I am happy with the purchase. No regrets, I enjoy my music more.
I run an Acer Cloudbook 32G SDD, with a 2 Tb external HDD for the media (wav 24/96) on USB3.0 port. USB out on a USB2.0 port with Jitterbug to a Gustard U12.
Media player is Foobar when SQ is paramount, and Kodi when I want a better GUI and am not listening intently.
Then AES/EBU to miniDSP PWR-ICE125, to LxMini speakers.So thank you, and all the best
It may sound like a steal for its performance but I’m happy with this price since everyone can afford it. 🙂
Enjoy the music is one of the longest audiophile media with over 20 years of experience in sharing audiophile experience. Last year I received a kind offer from Greg Weaver about reviewing Fidelizer software but there was a lot going on on his side since last year so the review was delayed until recently that he finally had time to finish reviewing Fidelizer Pro.
First, spatial attributes are elevated to near analog quality. The more compressed, flattened, cardboard cut-out, two-dimensionality that I find to be one of the biggest detriments to most computer based music playback systems is elevated to dramatically new levels, bordering, as I have mentioned, on what one is treated to from good LP playback. Stage width, height, and particularly depth, are increased dramatically, in realistic, not cartoonish, manner.
Resolution, transparency, and fine detail, including microdynamic shadings, are similarly heightened, to a degree greater than I’ve seen by the implementation of good after-market power cords and the best USB cables (both of which, you should be using, by the way). Hearing into and through full scale orchestral works is near revelatory using Fidelizer Pro. I believe that much of this is accomplished by its ability to significantly reduce electronic noise, a “glare” and “grunge,” that is also common with many computer playback systems.
Something that came as an unexpected and extremely welcomed improvement, were attributes often characterized by the acronym, PRaT (Pace, Rhythm, and Timing). Driving bass lines or propulsive drum work is conveyed with more urgency and authority, demanding your attention and propelling the composition more forcefully and convincingly.
Finally, and as welcomed to this listener as the spatial improvements, come pronounced enhancements in tone color, texture, and timbre. Fundamental pitch and tonal color are more faithful, imbued with wholesale clarification and refinement, both sounding more vibrant and reconstructed with richer, fuller tone. Texture is more clearly rendered, as is instrumental bloom, which is more apparent and believable. Instrumental voices are presented in more authentic size, texture, and especially pitch. Musical tapestries seemed to be not only more natural and convincing sounding, but pitch was also noticeably more stable.
This is the first Fidelizer 7 review since published. To be more precise, this is a review with both Fidelizer 6 and Fidelizer 7 impressions combined so I’m interested to hear his impressions on this side too.
