Nimitra Computer Audio Server review on Stereophile by Kalman Rubinson

I’ve been waiting for chance to announce this review for a long while with great excitement. Nimitra’s review from Stereophile is finally published on web content now. This is a big turning point for Nimitra to be a product that is acknowledged by the world’s most trusted media in audiophile industry.

Nimitra being reviewed by Stereophile is one of my greatest mission and I’m very happy to see this review online today. I was busy with TAV 2017 event helping out my friends in the show so I only have time to post about this great news today.

Kalman contacted me as soon as he noticed Nimitra review in AudioStream with expectations to play multi-channel audio from high quality server. We’ve been working out for a while with best of my abilities to make sure I can meet up to his expectations as much as possible.

I’m really thankful to Mr. Kalman Rubinson for his honest thoughts about Nimitra Computer Audio Server review in Stereophile. Since he wanted to review Nimitra for multi-channel audio purposes, I’d like to quote his conclusion from his review below.

Clearly, the Fidelizer Nimitra can do the job of playing high-resolution, multichannel music-only signals wonderfully, and it comes with all the apps you’ll need for the job. Finally, a great-sounding and affordable multichannel server that works with USB or with HDMI. Hooray!.

I hope new Nimitra customers who ordered last week would be delighted to read Nimitra review in Stereophile now. This is also a reason why I gave special offer last week to celebrate such joyful event. 🙂

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

Added 5 simple step to use Nimitra

Nimitra - Cover

Being an open platform, Nimitra Computer Audio Server can do pretty much everything easily and efficiently. However, it’s not simple for people who’s new to computer audio to understand how Nimitra works.

Since I received a few questions about how to use Nimitra, here’s 5 simple step to use Nimitra.

1. Download and install Linn Kazoo app.
2. Connect USB DAC/Player and external USB hard drive to Nimitra.
3. Power on Nimitra and wait until you hear “Fidelizer Nimitra is ready”.
4. Join WiFi “Nimitra” with password “fidelizer”.
5. Open Linn Kazoo and play music.

Unbelievably easy, right? You can use Nimitra with USB DAC/Player right away as a true plug and play device. 🙂

Updates on Nimitra and Nikola product information and ordering

BAV2017 Nimitra 2

After launching Nikola Linear Power Supply, we’ve been shipping Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola for every week. Thank you so much for supporting us and I’ve been shipping every unit we can without delay so far.

After getting inquiries and orders for a while, I noticed some people often asked me about comparing Nimitra to other highend servers. I decided to change some context in reviews so they can see for themselves.

“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

You can also read what customers say about Nimitra to see how it performs on their systems.  Some also mentioned about highend servers too.

As for Nikola power supply, some people requested me to build 15V and 19V ones so I decided to add 15V and 19V support. I also added micro USB 2.0 connector output option to use Nikola as highend mobile charger.

Since Nikola will have transformer built for optimal voltage range, we will order transformer with specific output voltage. We don’t use the same transformer we built for 12V or 5V to get the ideal output.
