Nimitra – Streamer

 

Nimitra - Esoteric K1X

 

Streamer, tuned with Esoteric VRDS ATLAS Transport as reference.

 

Fidelizer has been improving computer audio solutions for better sound quality since 2011. After developing successful software for years, we decided to launch our first physical hardware product “Nimitra” to help audiophiles enjoying the music effortlessly.

 

After years of winning awards including Stereophile Recommended, Fidelizer has been improving Nimitra product relentlessly. By tuning with Esoteric VRDS ATLAS Transport in Esoteric K1X Grandioso as a reference source, Nimitra can stream music that meets expectations from highend audiophiles.

 

Starting things off with a live version of ‘Big Love’ by Fleetwood Mac the instant realisation that there was greater detail and focus from the track when using the NimitraS when compared to my laptop plugged into the same DAC was nothing short of incredible.

Jay Garrett, StereoNET UK

Extended listening to the Nimitra via the Oppo consistently brought me the best sound, though I can’t fathom why that should be.

Kalman Rubinson, Stereophile

The sound quality is crisp, very dynamic, very detailed, and the sound is natural, big and open. Especially impressive is the separation of instruments and voices and the believability of the soundstage image.

Richard Varey, TNT-Audio

A friend from Asia, with an impressive high-end audio setup, didn’t miss his Aurender W20 anymore since acquiring Fidelizer’s Nimitra; he actually sold it. At ten times the price difference, it surely opens up a Pandora’s Box.

Matej Isak, Mono and Stereo

I’d take the Nimitra over the SOtM 1000D I reviewed a couple years ago in a heartbeat. It’s cheaper, more user friendly, more flexible and if aural memory serves, sounds just as good if not better.

Paul Candy, 6moons

The Nimitra is transparent in the ways that are good—letting the signal through seemingly unmolested, without being transparent in ways that are not good—lean, bleached or neutered. I think Punpeng has largely achieved his goal of a turnkey operation.

Larry Cox, Positive Feedback

Overall detail and focus were first-rate with the Nimitra. In some ways, the Nimitra reminded me of the Playback Designs Syrah Server in terms of its excellent playback qualities.

Steven Plaskin, AudioStream

The results were unusually planted and rhythmically coherent for a file source, with greater body, weight, musical coherence and structural organization than I’m used to from file sources.

Roy Gregory, The Audio Beat

I admired the smooth, silky tone of the strings and the oboe’s full, almost lush sound. That’s a point I haven’t emphasized enough. For me, the most attractive aspect of these Fidelizer products is their natural voice and musicality.

Marshall Nack, Positive Feedback

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.

inearspace's Pride of Place for Fidelizer Nimitra

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.

 

Fidelized Windows 10 Pro debloating 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:

  1. No moving part – Moving part causes vibration affecting the accuracy of electricity’s transmission.
  2. Low power consumption – The best way to reduce pollution is to consume less power not adding more filters/isolators.
  3. Resonance control for chassis – It’s often overlooked in digital audio but resonance of chassis affect digital audio a lot too.

 

Fidelizer Nimitra Case Inside

 

As a result, the finished hardware design has the following specifications:

  1. Fanless machine – No fan, no vibration from fan and no noise pollution in listening room
  2. mPCIe SSD for OS storage – No moving part, no vibration and no data/power cable for signal degrading
  3. 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
  4. DDR3L 4GB Memory – It’s a hard decision between lower CL with DDR3 or lower voltage with DDR3L but lower voltage provides cleaner signal
  5. Direct 12VDC input power supply – Feeding power directly to the board reduces noise and pollution inside
  6. Aluminum chassis frame – For better interference shielding and vibration control with high quality 3M isolating feet
  7. 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

 

Audirvana Partner

 

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.

Open platform customization support with Teamviewer

 

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.

  • Nimitra Classic
    Only US $995

     

    Nimitra Classic - Streamer
