Nimitra Computer Audio Server receives Stereophile’s Class B Recommended Components 2018

 

Stereophile's Recommended Components: 2018 Edition

 

Last year Nimitra was included in Stereophile’s Class B Recommended Components: Fall 2017 which is a huge landmark for Fidelizer products. It’s amazing to see Stereophile staff contacting small company reviewing their first product and get Class B in its first year.

Stereophile published Recommended Components: 2018 Edition on 15th March 2018 and Nimitra is also included in 2018 list as Class B Media Player. I’m really thankful to Mr. Kal Rubinson and Mr. Steven Plaskin for their support and their advice.

Fidelizer Nimitra Server: $1395
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)

They earned my respect not only for reviewing products for niche interests but also for their professional support and services while reviewing products too. After receiving so much support, I decided to return the favor by advertising in Stereophile and AudioStream starting in April 2018. 🙂

Nimitra Computer Audio Server receives Stereophile’s Class B Recommended Components Fall 2017

Stereophile's Recommended Components: Fall 2017 Edition

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.

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. 🙂
