This week we will also celebrate the first anniversary of Fidelizer Nimitra Computer Audio Server product with firmware 2.0 update. Nimitra firmware 2.0 comes with changes and adjustments through the year with the following updates:

-Fixed JPLAYStreamer instability issue with startup procedures
-Fixed library server database clean-up to delete old artwork database too

Nimitra will receive significant sound quality improvement by making full uses of quad core processor. Tasks will assigned to separated cores like this.

 

Core Audio / JPLAY / JPLAYStreamer / Asset uPNP

 

You will reach the next level of real sound performance with improved transparency and micro-detail extraction for default playback configuration. You can also access Nimitra directly with hosted WiFi network called Nimitra too so you can setup system without router which is very convenient.

Since this is a special occasion for Nimitra and Nikola products, you can purchase Nimitra and Nikola with the discounts as below.

Nikola Linear Power Supply receives AudioStream’s Greatest Bits Award

Today AudioStream has published a review for Nikola Linear Power Supply for a few days now. I’m very proud to inform you guys how Nikola performs  along with other linear power supplies and products.

Linear power supply business is all about power house unit to power all kinds of devices for a long while. I aimed to build Nikola linear power supply as a game changer product from ‘jack of all trades’ to ‘master of one’ design. It’s time to move on inferior design that does all for better sound.

Nikola was reviewed thoroughly with a few devices as it was designed to work with all kinds of unit supporting power supply upgrade. It’s hard to pick which one so I’ll pick on the most beneficial part for you to read below.

Since I was reviewing the SOtM sMS-200 Mini Network Player at the same time I was evaluating the Nikola, I decided to try this combination given that the 12 volt output was within spec for use with the sMS-200. After extended listening with the SOtM sMS-200 / Nikola, I felt that many of the sMS-200 owners will love this combination. The overall sound was smooth, detailed, and free of hardness. The bass and mid bass were extremely well controlled with good dynamic qualities. The soundstage was quite large with good depth and width. The overall transient speed and pitch definition were very impressive. Voices and instruments were very well focused and had a life-like presence with wonderful transparency to the sound. And yes, background silence was perceived as being excellent.

You can read full Fidelizer Nikola Linear Power Supply review about Nikola in other aspects like how it performs comparing to other products, how it works with Nimitra and its unique charm of very low noise colorization without ever displaying a digital edge.

At first I started designing Nikola as power supply for Nimitra but I later realized that I should build good power supply upgrade for product that needs it. I don’t mind if you want to use Nikola with Brooklyn/e32 DAC, SMS-200, or LPS-1 as long as I can help your music enjoyment. 🙂

Fidelizer is now 6 years old today. Time sure flies.

I published Fidelizer software in my own website on 14th April 2011. There’s a lot going on recently and also a lot of big things ahead so I’m feeling sentimental and would like to share the story of Fidelizer since its birth until today.

The start of Fidelizer wasn’t smooth sailing trip. It was a thorny road and very tough ones. I firstly built Fidelizer software for free with intention to make Windows sounding better than OS X platform since many OS X audiophiles looked down on Windows. Even now a few still ignorantly do that.

Despite my attempt to provide free good stuff to improve computer audio for audiophiles, Fidelizer was treated harshly by skeptics back then. It was removed from computer audiophile and hydrogen audio communities by administrators thinking it’s a snake oil product.

I absolutely had no intention to sell the software during that time but I hate the idea for corporate to secretly integrate my software in their highend music servers I put some protection onto it. Maybe some geeks hated to deal with these protections so I received some backlashes from them.

I considered abandoning this project for many times through the first two years. It always pained me to see people commenting Fidelizer as dangerous software even though it made no permanent changes to system and also label it as a snake oil software.

And one day, I realized that I need to pick either overcoming the setbacks by taking this project seriously or dropping this project and focus on something else. I chose to take this project seriously and put serious effort on Fidelizer and released version 6.0 with Fidelizer Upgrade Program.

Fidelizer had some sales initially and it went down to once in every 1-2 weeks. I didn’t expect Fidelizer project to be financially successful but it did solve some complaints on software itself. I started to hear positive feedback from customers and I’ve been so grateful for all feedback.

However, I still had so much to do for starting business like this. There’s one member in Audio Asylum called fmak. He hates the idea of selling audio optimizer software and keep bashing Fidelizer and its related topics. We’ve been debating on a few topics years back.

And one day, I listened to his criticisms about website full of ads so I built a new simple and clean website for it. Thank you fmak. Your honest opinion gave birth to awesome Fidelizer website. That was one of the best advice I received since founding Fidelizer.

As Fidelizer keeps growing, I’m also growing with Fidelizer too. This business changed me from being egotistical person to become understanding audiophile who now realized what it takes for audiophiles to be happy in this hobby. Fidelizer business really helps me to grow as a better person.

As I mentioned before that I started selling Nimitra Computer Audio Server as a turnkey server for audiophiles without computer knowledge, now Nimitra starts to earn recognition from media and customers. It’s won 3 big awards in only 3 months and I start to have distributors now.

Right now I’m in turning point to realize the bigger goals of Fidelizer. I’d like to tell you I truly appreciated in your support during these 6 years. I couldn’t have made it this far without all support and encouragement from you.

Thank you,
Keetakawee

The reason why Nucleus is priced at $29,900 USD

After launching Nucleus yesterday, some skeptics were criticizing our Nucleus project and I helped him in explaining why Nucleus is priced at $29,900. He was very pleased with my explanation that can fairly justify why it’s $29,900 USD.

Nucleus - April

And I received his permission to share our conversation log before posting this. Happy April Fools’ Day. I hope you like our Nucleus project. 🙂
