Happy new year 2023 everyone. Today I’d like to announce new projects for Fidelizer Mod that has been on going development for a long while. Due to busy schedule with EtherStream2 and AirStream2 projects, I revised Fidelizer Mod into two main projects as below.
The first one is iBasso AMP Module project that will replace iBasso DAP modification project. Modding the entire DAP circuit is very risky and it takes a lot of time to carefully solder very small parts in delicate circuit. So I talked to technician and revised the project to AMP Module only now.
The good part about iBasso AMP Module project is I can focus Masterpiece modification on AMP module with new tuning method and overhaul circuit parts upgrade. Modern iBasso DAPs also sound decent with improved design through years so we settled down with AMP Module modification.
The second project is adding Masterpiece Mod level for Chord products. I’ve been developing a new Masterpiece level for a long while with new Mojo 2 and Hugo 2 products too so it took time to adjust the changes and finalize what I can really do to bring the most of out Chord’s second generation products.
Masterpiece Mod level will upgrade input filtering opamp with latest technology opamp model from market that provides better resolution and details while retaining original musicality. I also upgraded USB Audio’s clock module with high precision clock and apply noise reduction tweaks.
Both iBasso AMP Module and Chord products are active Fidelizer Mod projects now. I also removed Fiio and HiBy DAPs from Fidelizer Mod project due to the lack of time to support. You can check Portable Products page for more details about Fidelizer Mod project and I hope you will have a great year ahead!
