JPLAY review on Positive Feedback

April 9, 2016 in Review

After recent Fidelizer review on Positive Feedback, Marcin contacted me and asked me about reviewing on Positive Feedback and now it’s finally here. Another reason why I’d like to show JPLAY’s review here is I’m touched by Tom’s message as below.

JPLAY is a truly international undertaking; it was developed by a joint effort of the aforementioned Marcin Ostapowicz, from Poland, and Josef Piri, who hails from the Netherlands. It also became apparent to me that there was some level of cooperation with Keetakawee Punpeng of Fidelizer (from Thailand), and that the two software systems appear to have been designed to work seamlessly with each other. I think it’s truly brilliant that the two companies—seemingly worlds apart—can co-exist in a spirit of cooperation, especially where each stands so very much to gain if their products are embraced by the audiophile community worldwide.

I once expressed how I love this environment when software developers can help each other growing instead of being competitive to one another. I’m happy to see this goodness being voiced out in public. You can read the rest about how good JPLAY and Fidelizer works from this review below.

Fidelizer review on Enjoy the Music

March 31, 2016 in Review

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.

Fidelizer review on HIFISTATEMENT

February 21, 2016 in Review

HIFISTATEMENT is one of fast growing net magazine in Germany. A lot of new generation products are being reviewed by them. It took a few months until Fidelizer review is up and I’m glad to finally see it live.

This is the first non-English review so forgive me if I misread some parts with Google Translate. I love how they started the review with conflicts between ‘bits are bits’ and ‘digital imperfection’. Digital is, after all, signal pulse electricity running on timing reference. And devices was made with different understands for different results.

I recommend you to read the whole review since he made a good explanation about how digital audio works in computer. I’ll post the translation of listening impressions here below.

Since my audio PC already running in hibernate mode, in which a plurality of processes is stopped, I could not imagine further improvements Fidelizer really. The width and depth of the spatial representation then also changes expected rather little. But the change in tone is unmistakable. Instruments gaining heat and physicality. Everything sounds more relaxed, but not weichgespült. This is accompanied by a clear increase of transparency and clarity. In the famous concerto for guitar and orchestra, the “Concierto de Aranjuez” by Joaquín Rodrigo, opening up in the recording with Pepe Romero and the Orchestra Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, conducted by Neville Marriner (Joaquin Rodrigo: Complete Concertos for Guitar and Harp – Philips Classics) new insights. In the first movement, with its powerful rhythms, it is the hard struck strings of the solo instrument, which are not blurred, but reproduced crystal clear. In contrast, heard in the slow second movement of thoughtful dialogue between the guitar and the English horn beautifully round and empathy. In “Intermezzo from Goyescas” by Enrique Granados with the New Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Rafael Frübeck of Burgos (Decca Legacy Volume One – FIM UHD) display the strings a previously belonged radiance and give the piece in their simultaneous unity an intensity gets under the skin.I have since Fidelizer not back away from my PC!

After reading a few reviews, I realized how Fidelizer UI can be confusing for first time user and I plan to resolve this issue in Fidelizer 7 along with other optimizations.

Fidelizer review on Positive Feedback

December 17, 2015 in Review

Positive Feedback is one of my trusted sources when I want to look up to products before seeing the real things. I hoped for a day where Fidelizer will be reviewed by Positive Feedback and today is that day. Fidelizer Pro is finally reviewed by Tom Gibbs who also wrote the review of cost-effective JitterBug by Audioquest. It’s good to see how he’ll view Fidelizer from such perspectives.

First of all, it’s good to see how he pointed out his concerns about the mixed feedback through past years. Since early days, Fidelizer has been receiving a lot of love and hate from users and that made a few people missed out opportunities to try Fidelizer. He, too was one of them and I’m glad to see he finally stepped out from caution zone. It’s thanks to all of your guys’ support through the year so Fidelizer can be seen in a more positive light.

I’d like you to read the whole review so you can see Fidelizer from Tom Gibbs’ perspectives. I also learned a few things from reading his review and it was a good lesson. It’s worth being misunderstood for years to reach this day where everyone can find a way to enjoy the music better with Fidelizer. Here’s some recaps of his impressions from the review.

For me, now, I cannot imagine going forward without Fidelizer. Once you’ve reconciled your way of thinking to Fidelizer’s approach, and let’s face it, people—the computer you use for digital music playback should be as streamlined as possible for that function alone—perhaps you can get beyond overthinking the situation and just listen to the music. And that music is presented in a deeper, blacker, quieter background, with greater image specificity, transparency and palpability—your digital files are much closer to the sound of live music than they are without Fidelizer. In my current system where the PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC currently holds court, I’m constantly inspired and amazed by the stunning realism and musicality, and Fidelizer is a really large part of that equation. For roughly seventy bucks USD, I can’t recommend Fidelizer highly enough.

Fidelizer receives 6moons’ Realsization 2015 Award

October 25, 2015 in Review

Today Paul candy informed me that Fidelizer Pro review is finally live on 6moons. That’s one good news I’m going to write about tonight after reading the review. In my surprise, I found unusually large picture like I’ve made some sort of achievement on the last page of the review. I clicked on the image to findout what Realsization is like and here’s what it says.

“CHEAP & CHEERFUL BUT CHAMPIONS”

My review of Sezai Saktanber’s DIY SilverFi cables from Ankara/Turkey signaled the need for this award which is unapologetically concerned with extreme value. To be worthy of our cheapskate recognition, uncompromised build quality and excellent performance have to coincide. The imagery is self-explanatory – Padma Sambhava, Tibet’s patron saint and great realizer, surrounded by coins of antiquity. Realsization takes standards educated by exposure to the best of audio and investigates how much money can be saved while maintaining the essence of ultra performance.

Paul told me the award is for an improvement well beyond what the low price suggests plus I obviously have spent a great deal of time and effort on improving computer music playback. Thank you, Paul. That means a lot to me.

Yay! ~ And don’t forget to read the Fidelizer Pro review too. The award is big news but good review is also important too 🙂
