I’ve realized awards for Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola Linear Power Supply from AudioStream aren’t linked to proper pages today so I fixed the link and I also update award picture to have category and class ranking so people can recognize those awards easier.
After launching Fidelizer 8 for a while, I can finally get back to my usual pace I’ll update contents in website and release Fidelizer 8.1 very soon. 🙂
This is our fifth award received in this year for Nimitra Computer Audio Server and also the second award for Nikola Linear Power Supply. It’s probably the last award Fidelizer might receive in this year but not least at all from non-profit media like Positive Feedback.
Nimitra and Nikola was nominated by Mr. Larry Cox who also nominated Fidelizer last year. It was around time I announced Nimitra, a turnkey solution that everyone can use with Teamviewer support and best Fidelizer optimizations. Here’s excerpt about Nimitra and Nikola he wrote.
As close to a plug and play computer audio server as you’re likely to find. Ease of setup is aided by a thirty day assist from Keetakawee Punpeng from Thailand using the remote access software Teamviewer. 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. Although others did not hear a difference with the accessory Nikola linear power supply I and my wife found the Nikola to add a bit of emotional content, in particular I believe the lower midrange is a bit sweeter, perhaps more relaxed when playing HQPlayer transcoded files. My wife literally cried hearing Eva Cassidy singing Fields of Gold.
This year is full of surprises and challenges for my audiophile journey. Big thanks to Mr. Larry Cox for his support. I’m really appreciated it. You can read full article about Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice 2017 Awards and see other cool products too.
And don’t forget to check his Nimitra and Nikola review featuring HQPlayer software with DSD upsampling too. 🙂
Last year, some people asked me why Fidelizer didn’t make any Black Friday campaign and I was like…..What is Black Friday? No kidding. I’m not into shopping and never bother with discount campaigns before so I didn’t know about Black Friday until they asked me last year.
But today is different. I did my homework so I’m aware of Black Friday event now. It’s a good event to celebrate after thanksgiving. We came so far to this day and age where every race and nation can join hands and dine together.
So Fidelizer would love to participate such eventful day also to celebrate this happy moment with discounts applied for every merchandise starting from $5 up to $200 USD including Fidelizer’s Nimitra Computer Audio Server, Nikola Linear Power Supply, and Portable Products too.

Fidelizer received Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice 2016 Award by Mr. Larry Cox’s nomination last year. After launching Nimitra Computer Audio Server, I contacted Mr. Larry Cox asking if he’s interested in reviewing Nimitra.
He told me he wasn’t sure if he can review it since computer audio isn’t something he’s familiar with and he’s using DSD only DAC which could be tricky to setup with Nimitra. With Teamviewer remote support, he can leave configuration parts to me.
He also reviewed Nikola linear power supply together with Nimitra too. It doesn’t have WOW effect being so neutral so it may take a while to shine in some systems. I’m glad to hear Nikola grew wonderfully in this review with Nimitra.
Keetakawee Punpeng of Fidelizer has put together a fine machine. 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. Keetakawee provides the service you’re likely to need, does it quickly and so deftly removed most of my concerns about buying a computer from someone in another country.
In the interest of being thorough rather than hopeful, I reinserted the Nikola linear power supply. Ohhhhh, wow, this time the Nikola was a welcome and noticeable addition. The most obvious changes were in the lower midrange, imparting a welcome bit of warmth and emotional content. There were more musical interludes that occurred as beautiful. This was clearly better than previous iterations. Keep in mind that this review, as with probably every other review, accentuates differences to make a point. The sound was very nice without the Nikola, but the Nikola added a dollop of more that was desirable. And yet, there was room for more.
I’d like to thank Mr. Larry Cox again for nominating Fidelizer for Writers’ Choice Award and kindly review Nimitra and Nikola again. I hope this will help audiophiles realize computer audio can have good sound and after sale services like Nimitra. 🙂
Do you still remember the great excitement I shared here in July? Nimitra was reviewed by Stereophile in July and I thought that’d be the biggest achievement of the year. And today I’d like to share joyous event that Nimitra is now included in Stereophile’s Class B Recommended Components!
Nimitra is the first hardware product from Fidelizer, introduced in 2016 without so much of marketing. I told myself that some days Fidelizer products will be included in Stereophile’s Recommended Components but I never imagine to have Stereophile’s Class B product in first year.
I’m very thankful to Mr. Kal Rubinson who contacted me for reviewing Nimitra as multi-channel server in Stereophile right after seeing Mr. Steven Plaskin’s review in AudioStream. I’m so fortunate to receive so much support from passionate reviewers for all blessings I received in this year.
A fanless implementation of an Intel Celeron J1900 2GHz processor, the Nimitra is the first server from Thailand-based Fidelizer, who specialize in using Windows as a music-playback platform. Measuring only 8.9″ by 7.9″ by 1.7″ and supplied with an outboard power supply (a 12V brick; Fidelizer’s larger and reportedly better Nikola supply is a $495 option), the Nimitra is bundled with dBPoweramp’s Asset UPnP file access and the JPlay app for streaming output—and is, as KR reported, multichannel-compatible. Kal used the Fidelizer Nimitra with his miniDSP uDAC-8 multichannel processor—”setup was almost trivial,” he said—and found the combination “absolutely delightful,” and “easily the equal of” his Mac mini–based server: “Finally, a great-sounding and affordable multichannel server that works with USB or with HDMI!” (Vol.40 No.7 WWW)
I wish I could have provided better support during Nimitra review with exaSound e38. I’ve published testimonial from Nimitra customer using exaSound e38 for multi-channel audio. Thanks to experience I gained during review, I could support real customer better. 🙂
