Here’s another feedback today. It’s short impression from him this time.
Thanks for activating the software so quickly! I’ve been testing it out a little today and so far I like it! Thanks! 🙂
Glad to hear he likes it. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today. This time it’s from Plus customer who has been using the free version for a while to solve dropout problems.
Thank you for your assistance!
I have been using the free version for many months and it solved all my dropout problems and significantly improved my PC performance when using MediaMonkey. I had tried shutting down apps and Windows services manually but was not successful in improving the latency issues to the extent the Fidelizer does. Thanks for the great software.Best regards,

Latency is important to preserve’s audio fidelity. Some may disagree but I value that highly.
Fidelizer’s false positive report case with Kaspersky
Today I received a few emails from Fidelizer users about getting report from Kaspersky. I’d like to inform everyone that Fidelizer is safe and secured audio software. It has features to control process’ priority and affity with services management features so some antivirus may detect such behavior being unsafe. However, there’s nothing to be afraid about the procedures as you can safely reverse it and Fidelizer hasn’t harmed anyone’s PC so far in last year.
You can keep using Fidelizer with Kaspersky by adding Fidelizer applications into Kaskersky’s exclusion list. I also filed false positive report to Kaspersky’s Virusdesk and I recommend you to do the same too to avoid such issue in future.
UPDATE: Kaspersky informed me they’ll fix this false detection in next update. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today. He also has a very good analog system for the best of both worlds.
Fidelizer 7 is fantastic. I have a very good analog system and have always tried to get my digital front-end to sound as good as my best lp’s. I am there now, 7 was the last missing piece.

I too am ‘pure analog’ vinyl lover so developing Fidelizer with good analog performance is one of my top priorities. 🙂
Why does external USB interface sounds better than internal USB interface?
Thinking logically, internal USB interface should have lesser chain of connection, shorter I2S connection to DAC without encapsulation on AES/SPDIF and stuff. My friend conduct some listening tests with Eximus DP1 and Stello U3. We found that using Stello U3 as external interface to AES/Coaxial input sounds better than internal USB interface. Both U3 and DP’s internal USB audio should have about the same quality. They even share the same driver and firmware.
After further tests with USB isolator and noise filter on tested computer machine, we found they minimized the difference between internal and external USB interfaces significantly. We could say that the reason why internal USB interface sounds worse is because DAC itself gets pollution from direct contact with computer audio source. By using external USB interface, DAC itself receives signal from encapsulated stream from USB interface box isolating pollution from USB connection.
However, it’s unavoidable for DSD to be played from direct USB connection. I think it’s important to reduce the pollution in computer audio source or suppress its effects with isolator or noise filter with optimal implementation.
