Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream to use with his computer audio setup. He’s also considering Nimitra and Nikola too.
Received the switch yesterday and I am very pleased. Another level of noise has disappeared but dynamics seem to be unchanged. Really appreciate it.
It’s been a while for feedback with EtherStream only despite a lot of orders. It’s almost 200 units now for product I designed for personal use. 🙂
Last year I launched EtherStream Network Switch due to some unforeseen events as originally personal mod being appreciated by Nimitra clients. It was a really pleasant surprise that modified switch was sold for almost 200 units now.
Last week I received an email notification about EtherStream receiving Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice Award. More than getting the first reward for EtherStream, I’m happy to see audiophiles are taking network improvements seriously in this year.
Elimination of noise from your playback really helps you sit up and listen closely to the music! With optical streaming, I really thought I was about as close as I could possibly get to the musical truth, but with the EtherStream—the overall sound quality is shockingly close. In fact, so much so, that all of my recent thoughts with regards to going all optical have now completely changed—the EtherStream is giving me probably 95 percent (or better) of the clarity and transparency that I was getting through the optical experience. Seriously, it’s virtually a wash! When compared to the NetGear switch that typically resides in my system, the EtherStream delivers a sound that’s not only deathly quiet, but punchier in character, with deeper, more defined bass and a significantly more liquid midrange. Fidelizer has done it again, and the EtherStream is very highly recommended!
This year Covid-19 hits hard on everyone. I hope you guys will remain safe with your family and enjoy the music during quarantine. You can read full article about Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice 2020 Awards and see other cool products too.
And don’t forget to check out the first and the second review of EtherStream Network Switch product. It may sound a bit weird to have two reviews but you can learn more from both perspectives from different systems. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream last year and then with Nikola Classic recently.
Hi – Another satisfied customer 🙂
For the last year I owned the Fidelizer EtherStream with its included power supply. It’s been a very worthwhile upgrade from the wired connection directly from router to my streamer/dac. After listening to it with the Nikola power supply I can’t believe the overall improvement. If I switch back to the router connection, I’d put it on the same level as having a great turntable with a $20 cartridge mounted. It plays music, but its full potential is greatly hindered by the cartridge. This combo could be considered a ‘digital phono cartridge’ in the playback chain. I didn’t hear what Tidal or Qobuz could truly deliver to my system until I had these in place.
I work in a stereo shop in the United States where we represent some of the best products money can buy. There isn’t anything we sell that’ll make as big of an improvement to your streaming experience for the price of these two products. Not even close.
Try this combo for all they’ll bring to the music. – Kurt Lantz
It’s great to see feedback from client working in audiophile business and see EtherStream and Nikola Classic working great together there. 🙂
Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream with Nikola Classic. He ordered EtherStream first and also took Nikola Classic after hearing my recommendation.
Dear Keetakawee,
I just got my EtherStream – Nikola Classic combo and connect them. There is late night now but I almost couldn’t stand up and stop listening to TIDAL music. You are a Genius. They added a huge portion of musical precision, clarity, details and wide stage to my system which I believed before is perfect. To listen a Barclay James Harvest album never was such an enjoyment from a CD than now from TIDAL. But it is just an example among other albums. I made only one improvement I use an Isol-8 power cord to feed Nikola. Many thanks again for the fantastic musical experience!
All the best!

I’m happy to hear EtherStream and Nikola Classic combo can help adding huge portion of musical precision, clarity, details and wide stage to his system which he believed before is perfect. 🙂
Here’s another feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream with Nikola Signature. Nikola Signature also powers his Merging DAC too.
Hi Keetakawee,
Yesterday the package arrived and in the late afternoon i connected the switch and the power supply to the system. With your products I have heard more beautiful sound with both Tidal and Qobuz. First of all, the total absence of any harshness or hardening of the sound message both with classical music and with pop. This is the qualitative point I particularly care about.
It also improves the focus and precision of the outlines of the instruments within the stage now even more transparent and broad. The tonal balance is also more balanced across the entire frequency range. Before this upgrade the music tended to be harsh in the mid-to-high range, giving me fatigue in long listening sessions. I thank you again for your great work.Regards
Giorgio
I’m happy to hear EtherStream and Nikola Signature combo can improve shortcomings in streaming audio effectively and happy listening. 🙂
