Fidelizer uses DHL Express for 2-7 days worldwide shipping service

 

 

Hi. After introductory period of EtherStream network switch is over, I received some inquiries about EtherStream having high shipping fee. After looking at products page to order submission, I came to realize that Fidelizer never inform about shipping services.

So today I’d like to explain how Fidelizer manages shipment with products. When we first introduce new hardware products, we offer free shipping for one month and observe how average shipping fee should be.

For EtherStream, it has 1kg weight for shipment fee and cheapest possible shipping will be around $50. For most shipments in Europe, it costed around $60-80 USD and some countries was charged for around $100 too.

So I decided to setup shipment for EtherStream at $65 USD for 1kg product. All other products also have the same process done for standard shipping fee. The price is higher but it’s safe and reliable to ship anywhere in one week without fail.

I hope you can understand why Fidelizer charges shipping fee higher than others. It’s because time and safety are important to make sure products will always arrive in 2-4 weeks after ordering. 🙂

Fidelizer Nimitra B&W 2

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a customer who ordered Nimitra and Nikola from Elite Audio distributor in UK. This is his impression after setting up system with Nimitra.

Hello Keetakawee,

I’ve now had the opportunity to listen to the Nimitra for several days and must say I’m very, very impressed. I tried it first as a direct replacement for my Mac Mini using it as a Roon Core with a Sonore microRendu as my endpoint connected to my Lampizator Atlantic Plus DAC. It was as you suggested a big upgrade. After listening for a day or so I did as you suggested and removed the microRendu driving the Lampizator directly from the Nimitra. This was another improvement, music becoming much richer but still with lots of details. Tone with classical music was much better, as were the dynamics, altogether more like live music. I’m very happy with my purchase.

All the best

I’m looking forward to hear his updates with direct connection to Lampizator DAC with next upgrade. Nimitra is also reviewed with Lampizator DAC in Positive Feedback’s review too. 🙂

Fidelizer's Next Year Server - 1

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a customer who ordered custom highend version of NimitraS server with NikolaS linear power supply in a single box design.

I take this opportunity to congratulate you, after several months of listening pleasure, for the very high sonic quality I achieve with my server. This is really excellent, on par with, or even better than servers on the market regarded as the best ones (Aurender, Melco etc.)

Kind regards

I’m happy to hear that custom version of Nimitra server is considered on par or even better than some best servers in market. This keeps me working hard to bring better standards to computer audio. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today from NimitraS server with Nikola linear power supply customer. He shared his feedback with me after setting up NimitraS with his Chord Dave.

Keetakawee,

That is a great job just what I was asking for top support. Oh and by the way this streamer puts my Auralic Aries streamer to shame great sound.

This is also the first server that I setup with USB storage using Linux partition. I’m glad to find out it can fine with Nimitra platform. 🙂

Should I get NimitraS or Nimitra + Nikola first?

 

NimitraS

 

I received similar questions from a few clients recently since NimitraS is $1895 and you can buy Nimitra + Nikola at about the same price too. After answering their questions, I believe it’s worth sharing my insights about this upgrade path.

Upgrading server with good linear power supply will really help your server shine a lot. I tested Nikola linear power supply with my own server, Roon Nucleus/Intel NUC, Mytek/exaSound/Yulong DAC and its worth upgrading for high quality power supply.

The question is actually more like whether you should spend $500 more on NimitraS upgrade or Nikola linear power supply first. If you choose NimitraS, you get SLC SSD and premium RAM upgraded with modification modification including high quality clock on USB audio.

If you choose Nimitra + Nikola, you get high quality linear power supply tuned with highend Esoteric transport as a reference for very low coloration sound and high neutrality. Both choices are good on its own with different ups and downs.

But if you have more budget in future, both choices will affect your upgrade path a lot. If you choose NimitraS first, you can just order NikolaS and you can enjoy the improvements with power supply upgrade immediately.

If you choose Nimitra + Nikola first, you will need to ship both products back to me first to apply Signature upgrade and wait until I finish and ship the upgraded products back. While I offer free shipping for upgrade combo, the waiting time without Nimitra is less desirable.

So I recommend to choose NimitraS over Nimitra + Nikola for your first purchase. Once you have more budget to further your upgrade path, you may consider adding NikolaS later. This way you don’t have to send your Nimitra + Nikola back for continuous music enjoyment. 🙂
