Fidelizer 8 Pro review in HIEND NEWS

Last year I posted about Fidelizer being mentioned in HIEND NEWS’s review for improvements with MusiCHI software and I’m glad to see more Greece people enjoying music better with Fidelizer.

 

Fidelizer mentioned in MusiCHI’s review in HIEND NEWS

 

Now the review of Fidelizer Pro 8 is finally done by Mr. Thanassis Moraitis. He asked me whether I want to have Greece or English review and I chose Greece review so to help Greece people understanding about Fidelizer better.

 

The Fidelizer Pro – Software for PC sourced sound quality improvement

 

Here’s important parts translated into English and suggested by reviewer himself.

 

Fidelizer Pro, in its own right, is a top-notch effective tool for delivering great-quality audio. It is also a complement to achieving a common goal with Audiophile Optimizer or if you want the Audiophile Optimizer to be a complement to Fidelizer. No matter where you catch it, the level is even higher when both work at the same time on your computer. Without Fidelizer Pro, your computer performs well below what it can achieve when properly optimized, with a sound that instead of being smooth, detailed, focused, three-dimensional, plausible, digestible, entertaining, dynamic, musically enjoyable, even understandable, looks much more “artificial,” with a metallic texture (some call it digital) in texture, “compressed ton “, clearly more” tiny “in volume, and the main one with a much worse” timing “!

Using Fidelizer Pro, the sound quality of the source goes so far that it makes our choices easier for further upgrades. With the more “natural” sound effect, our next choices end up being clearly more correct (they are not based on the logic “to correct the misspellings created by the wrong source”) and so what we choose is much more likely to last longer and withstand other possible future additions or other upgrades that will arise (always arise!) in the future. The cost of Fidelizer Pro is such a tiny cost compared to what we have done, do or will do in the future My choice is simply a matter of time mainly. If we think of its upgrading policy (cost-free for small ones) and the even lower cost (compared to their original cost) for larger, combined with the increase in sound quality that they achieve with them, I think there is choice, all those who use Windows computer out there have to install it.

As a result…

…I can not imagine myself listening to music without Fidelizer Pro! More in detail: The improvements it brings to the end result are essential, since it helps make it much more natural, easier to digest, more fun, plus a foundation for more successful future upgrades. Fortunately, there are “friends” of high fidelity as the creator of Fidelizer out there and we are benefiting, that design, I repeat, such high-quality sound performance at such a low cost. Keep up the good work, Keetakawee!

 

There’s also Q&A related to Fidelizer in both English and Greece so I recommend to check out for more insights about Fidelizer. I hope this review will help audiophiles in Greece opening possibilities to improve sound quality with Fidelizer and happy listening. 🙂

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.

Changelog for version 8.1

iBasso DX50 / 80 / 90 Purist ROMs update with Equalizer / Gapless returning for Advanced Purist

Portable Products
Last week I received bug report from iBasso DX90 user that player sometimes stop playing next song. It didn’t happen during the tests because it often happened after 10 songs played, sometimes after second loop of the album.

I spent the whole week investigating why this happened and I found that removing Equalizer and Gapless on Advanced Purist ROM will trigger this bug. To resolve the case, I brought back those features in Advanced Purist but kept audio effect engine removed.

iBasso DX50/80/90 will contain the following features as below:

-Based on most recent version from official iBasso website
-System font was replaced with lighter version of Nimbus font
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-audio engine optimized for only audio playback (EQ/Gaplass features work)
-bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine

Download: iBasso DX50 – DX80 – DX90 Purist ROMs

Installation Guide

1. Extract update.img from archive and copy to internal storage (or the micro SD slot 1 for DX80)
2. Open device Settings > Advanced > System Update
3. Wait for device to finish flashing
4. After flashing is completed, I recommend choosing Slow filter
