Here’s another feedback today. I’m surprised reading quite unsual combination. It’s very surprising setup.

Hi,

works flawlessly (with the custom mode)and as promised, less digital glare. This is the best sound on my system ever. J

For your information:
I’m using a laptop (with a non switching PSU) with 8GB RAM, Windows 10 (build 10240), XXHighEnd Player 2.02 with a “kernel streaming” driver to a Phasure NOS1a DAC.

Thanks

kind regards

Joachim

Deep down I always believe in Fidelizer Pro that it can work well with XXHighEnd and Phasure NOS DAC setup. Now my prayer is answered and I’m so glad to know it’s working fine on Windows 10 with full Phasure setup. Looks like I have something worth celebrating for tonight :).

Here’s a new feedback today. He’s using it on quite interesting system with aplayer on laptop feeding Berkeley Alpha USB -> Naim DAC.

Hi, thank you for program. Works very good. Much better then Fidelizer free version.

I used CAD pro optimization script, now I use fidelizer. Fidelizer pro better then cad pro..

setup:

notebook Acer Aspire E15, passive cooling, ssd, works on battery.
OS: windows 8.1 x64
Soft player: aplayer, wasapi exlusive mode, direct mode. plays .wav from RAM memory. All buffer set to minimal.
Hardware: Berkeley Alpha USB -> NAIM DAC

Naim has alluring charm that keeps me wanting to try even now. I’re pretty sure it’s sounding musical over there right now.

Here’s another feedback today. This time he uses Fidelizer Pro on both JPLAY and Audiophile Optimizer.

Thanks Keetakawee, with my single-PC setup, after some tweaking of the settings (AO 1.40, Fidelity Blade SQ 5.21 and JPLay 6.2), it works with Fidelizer Extremist mode and the first impression is impressive, even overwhelming…
Thanks!

Glad to hear another positive impression. We reached 500th purchase milestone without negative feedback on upgraded Fidelizer software. It’s quite amazing.

Today we have another thorough feedback. He’s using Fidelizer Pro with JPLAY and J River which is quite unexpected combo.

Hi Windows X

I have now had a chance to listen properly with Fidelizer in Extremist optimisation mode + “music server with network support” and to try various different settings in both Jriver 20 MC and Jplay 6.2 with it. This is going from a single Windows 7 laptop via Oyaide Continental 5S silver USB cable to OPPO USB audio 2.0 DAC, controlled by Jriver’s Gizmo app on my android phone.

Firstly I tried various settings in Jriver. I tried Oppo Asio driver, volume set to OPPO and DSD bitstream in DoP format enabled. For Output Encoding I set it to 4xDSD in native format. Jplay was set to Oppo Usb 2.0 Asio driver (engine Xtream, Throttle on and Hibernate mode on).

Secondly I tried in Jriver, Oppo USB 2.0 Dac with Kernel streaming, for bitdepth I used 32-bit integer, buffering 0,50 seconds, volume OPPO BDP-105 USB audio 2.0 DAC, Output Encoding 2xDSD in DoP format. In Jplay, KS OPPO USB AUDIO 2.0 DAC, Engine Xtream, Throttle ON, Hibernate mode ON.

My preference in Jplay has always been Xtream with KS, but in the Asio settings there was a certain delicacy in the treble, which I hadn’t heard in KS. However overall it lost a lot of information that was in the KS settings. In the KS settings, the midrange and bass were far better and the treble was fine though less delicate. In KS the soundstage and depth were much greater. So I am using at the moment the KS settings.

Overall I would say that the Fidelizer Extremist settings have made the single biggest improvement in my computer sound. I think Jplay makes a significant difference as well. Jriver works well as a library and their Gizmo app makes control easy.

Perhaps you could let me know what you think of this? Any suggestions most welcome. At some stage I will definitely go the twin computer route, whether Windows 8, 10 or 2012 server.

Congratulations on a brilliant programme.

Best Robert

From my experience, kernel streaming is direct mapping which has its own ups and downs depending on configuration. Unlike ASIO where it has software driver layer to manage the flow of audio stream data, kernel streaming has no such thing so things like induced jitter will become more effective for better or worse. You can configure JPLAY configuration to tune treble frequency being more delicate. I usually set clock to lowest possible (0.5ms with 0.01 buffer time) and tune frequency to optimal sound signature I prefer.
