Fidelizer 8.1 released – First update with many fixes and improvements together with 2,900th license purchase offer

 

Fidelizer Pro

 

I hoped to release version 8.1 before Valentine’s day but there were more cases to be resolved related to security having a few internal changes until it’s more stable enough.

While fixing reported issues one by one, I also was flooded with over 100 mails per day in during the first week of Fidelizer 8 release so fixing every reported issues took me longer than expected but it’s finally done now.

New features such as Core Isolation policy and execution with music player application are working properly now. I also found core affinity optimization didn’t work properly with new algorithm so I fixed that too.

I also improved permanent optimizations in Fidelizer Pro with rounding technique. Fidelizer Pro analyzes RAM calibration with 250MB block. If system detects 3.93GB with 64MB for VGA, RAM calibration will apply optimizations as 3.75GB.

With nearly 200MB miscalculated, audio tasks won’t perform according to ideal optimizations with tonal shift. By adding rounding technique with 125MB threshold, 3.93GB RAM will be treated as 4.0GB which is closer to ideal case.

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. 🙂

Awards update for Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola Linear Power Supply

 

Stereophile's Recommended Components: Fall 2017 Edition

AudioStream's Greatest Bits Award for Fidelizer Nimitra

AudioStream's Greatest Bits Award for Fidelizer Nikola

 

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. 🙂

Fidelizer Upgrade Program – Extending 2,800th purchase offer to 21st February 2018

 

Fidelizer Pro

 

Hello everyone. After launching Fidelizer Upgrade Program for a while, I noticed there’s only Fidelizer Plus license and I found it a little strange since past few days. I thought maybe they want to try Plus version first.

Today I was informed that some customers could’t purchase Fidelizer Pro license at all so I checked up the website and found Pro section has torned up options. I suspect it was some parts of auto correction bug with new WordPress update.

After screaming to my own stupidity for a while, I’ve fixed this bug in Fidelizer Upgrade Program and Fidelizer Pro purchase is working fine now. To compensate for this error, I’ve extended the purchase offer time as below.

 

Fidelizer Plus: US $39.95 —> $34.95 (Expired)
Fidelizer Pro: US $69.95 —> $59.95 (Expired)

 

This offer will last until 21st February 2018. Discount rate is the same as purchasing Fidelizer software again so new customer and returning customer will get the same price. You may order again anytime and receive partial-refund as discount later after this campaign is over.

I truly apologize for the inconvenience with Fidelizer Upgrade Program. I’ll be more careful from now on to not repeat the same mistake again and thank you so much to everyone who reported me this issue today. 🙂
