Here’s a new feedback today from a customer who ordered Nimitra and Nikola from Elite Audio distributor in UK. This is his impression after setting up system with Nimitra.
Hello Keetakawee,
I’ve now had the opportunity to listen to the Nimitra for several days and must say I’m very, very impressed. I tried it first as a direct replacement for my Mac Mini using it as a Roon Core with a Sonore microRendu as my endpoint connected to my Lampizator Atlantic Plus DAC. It was as you suggested a big upgrade. After listening for a day or so I did as you suggested and removed the microRendu driving the Lampizator directly from the Nimitra. This was another improvement, music becoming much richer but still with lots of details. Tone with classical music was much better, as were the dynamics, altogether more like live music. I’m very happy with my purchase.
All the best
I’m looking forward to hear his updates with direct connection to Lampizator DAC with next upgrade. Nimitra is also reviewed with Lampizator DAC in Positive Feedback’s review too. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today. This time it’s from local client who applied Fidelizer Ultimate Mod for maximum performance.
Hugo2 sounds a lot better. After listening for a while, I noticed clarity and details improved significantly. Background is much more quiet with more micro details revealed. I’d say it sounds better around 40-50% for improvements.
And here’s original message written in Thai language before translation.
Chord Hugo2 really took me a long while to come up with better performance deserving Ultimate Mod level. This unit is the second one with with Fidelizer Ultimate Mod applied. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today. I received his feedback after product being well broken with NAS storage.
Hi Keetakawee
Now that the switch is pretty well broken in, the sound (and video) quality is significantly improved! I play my music off a NAS drive, and the sound quality improvement is easily as big an as I got from Marcin’s JCAT network card but the combination of both is even greater improvement!
I notice it mostly in the clarity and the tightness of the bass. My wife (who has superhuman hearing) said this is the biggest improvement she has heard to date. (and I am continuously tweaking things)
Congratulations on your accomplishment and thanks!
Greg
I’m happy to hear his wife finds EtherStream being the biggest improvement she has heard to date. It’s truly worth researching for years to overcome network problems effectively like this. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today from client who purchased Fidelizer Advanced ROM for Fiio X7ii device. He uses Fiio X7ii AM3A with Tidal MQA and Momentum wireless too.
Sounds Astonishing! Fiio X7ii AM3A with your advanced Purist rom and F9pro balanced or even Momentum TW and Tidal MQA I just got a whole new DAP. Can´t wait to send it to you and see what you can mod out of it.
As I shared X7 with Masterpiece Mod yesterday, I’m looking forward to mod his X7ii in near future. Fidelizer Advanced ROM will get free shipping discount for first Fidelizer Mod too. 🙂
