Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice Award 2017 for Fidelizer Nimitra Computer Audio Server
The selling point is that with Linn Kazoo or Mconnect Lite you have remote control of your files through the Nimitra. The sound is difficult to describe except to say it’s quieter, more linear and both less etched and less bloomy.
Mono and Stereo’s Highly Recommended Award 2017 for Fidelizer Nimitra
Nimitra and Keetakawee’s work deserves recognition and I’m happily giving out Mono and Stereo’s Highly Recommend Award not only for the product but for complete experience and professional service that comes with it.
inearspace’s Pride of Place Award for Fidelizer Nimitra
So there we have it – a Thai server that is fit for purpose. It does nothing fancy and looks basic but it is functional and smooth operating in the areas you need. On top of that, it sounds phenomenal, with me preferring to more expensive models and only really drawing comparisons with a 3x the price totaldac. There is a reason why I said in the opening paragraph that this is one of my most used products. It has taught me you don’t need distractions with a server and for that reason, I will go ahead and make this the first music servers on our coveted Pride of Place!
NimitraOS: Fidelized Windows 10 Platform for audiophiles
Windows 10 comes with many features unrelated to audio solutions. Some may tweak OS to disable unused features and services. NimitraOS optimizes at roots by removing all non-audio features from installation itself, with dedicated optimizations to maximize audio performance.
This reduces RAM usage to only 1GB in fully operational mode with special version of Fidelizer as CAS platform using specialized optimizations that can ready your system in about 30 seconds from power on. NimitraOS is the most solid Windows platform optimized for audiophiles.
NimitraOS also come with assistant software maintaining products and services used in Nimitra such as maintaining library database with storage changes on USB storage automatically. You can enjoy music from both streaming and local as plug and play product.
USB Audio drivers won’t be a trouble with latest drivers preinstalled providing bit-perfect playback with manufacturer’s driver and also support UAC2 driver. Customer can request remote support for assistance with software and driver update too.
Affordable yet uncompromised
Fidelizer has focus on building products market is lacking for highend system so building Nimitra is for setting reference for future models in computer audio industry. It all started with the design for the best product and see how to make affordable ones without breaking its principles.
With over 10 years experimenting about computer audio, the best designed for computer audio machine should follow these principles below:
- No moving part – Moving part causes vibration affecting the accuracy of electricity’s transmission.
- Low power consumption – The best way to reduce pollution is to consume less power not adding more filters/isolators.
- Resonance control for chassis – It’s often overlooked in digital audio but resonance of chassis affect digital audio a lot too.
As a result, the finished hardware design has the following specifications:
- Fanless machine – No fan, no vibration from fan and no noise pollution in listening room
- mPCIe SSD for OS storage – No moving part, no vibration and no data/power cable for signal degrading
- Intel Celeron J1900 quad core 2.4GHz processor – Quad core, low power consumption but powerful enough with 2.4GHz turbo mode and 2MB L2 Cache
- DDR3L 4GB Memory – It’s a hard decision between lower CL with DDR3 or lower voltage with DDR3L but lower voltage provides cleaner signal
- Direct 12VDC input power supply – Feeding power directly to the board reduces noise and pollution inside
- Aluminum chassis frame – For better interference shielding and vibration control with high quality 3M isolating feet
- Optional WiFi module – With growing audiophile network switch, you can choose to remove WiFi module for better sound with less interference
From long research, this is the best hardware design that can compete all computer sources in market today regardless of the price. People believe getting powerful processor will improve sound quality but that’s not necessarily true since it also increases pollution and interference.
Partnered with trusted audiophile software products
Fidelizer Nimitra promises to deliver highend audio sound quality standards to audiophiles who trust since 2016. We are the first company who introduced highend streaming software solution JPLAY to audiophile worldwide as hardware product and we continue to do so.
We never keep pursuing for best possible sound quality and won’t compromise sound quality for business interests. If Fidelizer is partnered with any company, it will always be about audiophile’s best interests in sound quality and we can provide offers for our customers to try new solutions.
Open platform customization support with Teamviewer
After product delivery, there might be cases like installing drivers for new devices after purchasing Nimitra. With Teamviewer access built-in for professional support, Nimitra can receive remote assistance immediately and implement more possible solutions to enjoy the music better too.
Nimitra Classic / Nimitra2
After launching Nimitra for about 2 years, Fidelizer Nimitra received a lot of positive reviews and feedback to the point of getting into Stereophile’s Recommended Components in its first year as most affordable highend server. With compact size, it’s also an ideal choice for car audio server.
Nimitra2 is tuned through years of experience with custom servers and have the final specifications and price at $2,495 USD to deliver highend audio performance. Using both Nimitra and Nikola2 combo can deliver performance that resembles CD transports with Esoteric drive.
Nimitra Classic shares the same NimitraOS platform and optimizations as Nimitra2 for best sound quality. Only difference lies in hardware design but we still choose the best one with true high precision event timer implemented where most affordable Linux servers don’t have it.
