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.
