Fidelizer Nimitra Firmware 3.0 Update and purchase offers for 3,200th license

August 27, 2018 in News

Nimitra Firmware 3.0 Updater

And now we reached 3,200th milestone. As a reminder to inform customers that they receive refund for returning customer purchase, I’m running purchase offer again in this week. I also sent partial refund back for customer who placed an order on 2nd September 2018.

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

This offer will last until 2nd September 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 also finished a new firmware update for Nimitra/NimitraS Computer Audio Server. Firmware 3.0 comes with changes and adjustments through the year with the following updates:

-Added JRiver integration support with Nimitra optimizations
-Added MinimServer integration support
-Added sound notification whenever connection is established
-Fixed JRiver library update not removing removed files
-Fixed Windows 10 forcing Windows Update through hidden protocols
-Improved Asset uPNP database re-initialization compatibility
-Improved over all sound quality optimizations and 64-bit audio performance
-Upgraded HQPlayer NAA software and compatibility with both x86/x64

Nimitra will receive significant sound quality improvement tuned specially for Nimitra device after Fidelizer 8 release. This optimization is completely separated from Fidelizer 8 optimizations making 64-bit version sounding better too.

Nimitra also handled the case of some USB DAC using its own power supply and when Nimitra can’t recognize audio output after turning on before DAC. Whenever audio output is recognized, Nimitra will re-initialize audio services and notify to fix this case for JPLAY.

After offering JRiver option in Nimitra, I started working on JRiver integration with auto library update similar to Asset uPNP. All drives will be scanned in JRiver also with Fidelizer optimizations in JRiver software including Fidelizer WebRemote UI.

For customers preferring MinimServer with JPLAY for DSD128 support, Nimitra also support MinimServer as part of Nimitra platform now including library auto update feature.

Some customers may see Windows 10 being pushed with Windows Update since last year. It took me a long while to completely disable Windows Update enforcement in Nimitra. If you accidently updated Windows 10 platform before, you can rollback and apply this update to disable Windows Update enforcement.

Nimitra/NimitraS customers can send request for firmware update and I’ll update Nimitra firmware through Teamviewer or request download link for applying update manually. If you already upgraded Windows 10 and can’t rollback, you can Nimitra back for reinstallation or possibly NimitraS upgrade too.

I hope this will be good chance for you to consider upgrading Fidelizer software and happy listening. 🙂

Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola Linear Power Supply receives inearspace’s Pride of Place Award

May 28, 2018 in Review

This review was actually published in last month for both Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola Linear Power Supply. However, I was overloaded with orders to finish before attending the show so I couldn’t publish it right away. I’ll start publishing feedback received too.

This is probably the first serious review for Nimitra and Nikola in headphone systems so I hope this will be a good reference for headphone users to consider using Nimitra and Nikola with headphone setup.

The Nimitra is none of the things that the iMac is. It is not loud nor brash and seems to have a controlled fluidity to it. Keetakawee made a big statement when he went along and said that this was an a server for analogue lovers but I think he may just be onto something here. Obviously the rest of my system is helping achieve such an analogue sound, the R-2R arrangement in my d1-seven certainly helps, as does that lusciously tuned Audeze LCD-MX4 but there is an apparent glare with the same system running off the mac, and noticeable artifacts all through the sound and they just aren’t there with the Nimitra, instead the background is dead quiet. The best part is this is all the quiet before the storm, it starts controlled, quiet and smooth but then you realize the intense dynamism that this is capable of, something that really comes out with Jack White’s new LP “Boarding House Reach”. While the Linux based BMC PureMedia wasn’t as distorted or lively as the iMac, it didn’t ever provide that crunch, that power and that is where the Fidelizer really moves things on a gear. It makes the BMC sound sterile and boring yet it is as refined, it has better emotion and realism, aided by a firmer (but no more present bass) and more agile and snappy treble.

I’m happy to hear Mr. Sonny Trigg loves Nimitra enough to give Nimitra the first “Pride of Place” award in server category. You can read full article about Price of Place Award and see other cool products and don’t forget to check his Nimitra and Nikola review too. 🙂

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

March 7, 2018 in Review

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. 🙂

Nikola - NADAC

Here’s another feedback today from Fidelizer Nikola customer in Switzerland. He shared his impressions with custom Nikola for Merging NADAC with special connector.

Just got the PSU…In system for one hour. Fantastic, huge improvement, much more air and cleaner mid and bass !

My friend in Geneva, Jean-Jacques Bieri is also enthusiastic.

Thank you !
Andre

P.S. Looking seriously at your Nimitra.

I’m glad to hear he liked it. This is the best custom unit I ever built and very costly too. I’m looking forward to provide my services with Nimitra soon. 🙂
