And here’s another feedback today. He shared his feedback after receiving Fidelizer Pro license as below.

Hello Keetakawee,

I just installed the new pro version and have it set to isolate audio processes to one core in purist mode.

Music is running Audirvana using Windows Kernel Streaming, directly to USB on our DAC in bitperfect mode, no upsampling, on a fanless mini PC powered from a linear power supply.

Everything wireless is switched off, streaming goes via ethernet using fiber optic media converters to isolate from our (otherwise uncontrolled noisy) network.

It sounds wonderful. My company Infigo Audio designs high end audio equipment, which are DACs and amplifiers and we’ll use this new optimized player at our upcoming high end audio shows.

Thank you so much for developing a great product! I love it

Hans Looman

I’m happy to hear that Fidelizer Pro will be demonstrated in upcoming high end audio shows and happy listening. 🙂

Introducing foobar2000 setup assistant, turning your computer into a streamer with a single click

 in News

 

Fidelizer - foobar2000 setup assistant

 

After releasing Fidelizer 8.10 for a while, I noticed something about computer audio setup. It’s not easy to setup computer as a streamer for most people. Even Roon or Audirvana need some configuration to use Tidal / Qobuz and can be quite complicated for end user.

foobar2000 is free to be downloaded and installed to use. But to get streaming working with foobar2000, most people don’t know how to set it up. JRiver is good and affordable solution that supports DLNA/uPNP too. But most people don’t know how to set it up.

Meanwhile in Rasberry Pi and other arm devices have Linux distro pre-configured with streaming feature ready to be used. It’s actually easier for beginner to select firmware image and flash on micro SD card to boot.

 

After realizing this, I checked foobar2000’s license terms again and prepare a separated installer software outside original installer. This program will perform silent installation of foobar2000 and setup components and configuration after installing.

Since foobar2000 version 2.0, WASAPI exclusive audio output is implemented by default so you won’t need 3rd-party components to setup. That way, it’s possible to redistribute unmodified installer and apply configuration file separately with high audio performance optimized.

As DLNA/uPNP and SACD input components have GPL license, I hope it’s okay to redistribute those files outside foobar2000 installer for community’s benefits. With foobar2000 setup assistant, you can turn PC into an uPNP streamer with a single click.

 

Download: Fidelizer – foobar2000 setup assistant 3.0

Recommended apps: BubbleuPNP, (Android), JPLAY (iOS), mConnect Player Lite (Android), mConnect Player Lite (iOS)

 

If you use legacy device that doesn’t support 24-bit, you can click on File > Preferences > Playback > Output > Devices and change Bits on “Primary Sound Driver” to 16. I considered changing default bits to 16 but that’d ruin most people’s experience with hires DAC in market right now.

You can select native ASIO output by clicking on File > Preferences > Playback > Output menu and select ASIO output device for your DAC. You can use recommended apps in mobile/tablet device to stream Tidal/Qobuz and music files in local network to FidelizerRenderer.

EtherStream - Modification

 

Here’s another feedback today from customer who sent EtherStream to be upgraded to EtherStream+. He shared his feedback after receiving upgraded unit as below.

Hello Keetakawee!

The revitalized Fidelizer arrived safe and sound Monday. I installed it and tested with the same configuration, which included a wired Ethernet to optical Ethernet converter. Really didn’t like the sound. I removed the optical Ethernet component. Sounds spectacular now. Cleaner bass and a more overall definition. Well done!

Thanks,
DJK

It seems when network has become really good, removing optical conversion will give even better results. 🙂
