Nimitra2 Computer Audio Server review on Positive Feedback by Marshall Nack

 in Review

 

Nimitra2

 

Finally, the first Nimitra2 Computer Audio Server review is published. It was reviewed together with Nikola2 Linear Power Supply and EtherStream Network Switch after reviewing previous products. This review feels like the main dish has finally arrived after serving appetizers.

I was pleased to hear that Mr. Marshall Nack decided to review Nimitra2 server after reviewing EtherStream. It’s an honor for Nimitra2 to be the first streamer being reviewed by seasoned audio reviewer in highend audio system.

Positive Feedback

Believe me, I didn’t hear anything like this when the Mac was in-stream. I was always aware of deficits in tone, timbre, texture, and dynamics. To put things in perspective, if we were to use my much more expensive CH Precision transport as the reference, I’d say the Mac with Fidelizer ancillaries reproduced about 60% of what’s to be had, forcing me to assign it to the low-end class of gear. The Fidelizer Optimized Solution with Nimitra2 server filled out the big picture to raise the percentage to around 85%, and streaming vaulted into issue-free mid-fi. Now I could sit back and be comfortably entertained as Cyrus Chestnut tinkled the ivories.

It’s very hard to pick excerpt from this review when there’re so many good good aspects about Nimitra2 product. Please read his full review and see how he feels about Nimitra2 as a genuine highend audiophile and happy listening. 🙂

EtherStream2 - Network Switch

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream before reporting updates with new EtherStream2 and Nikola2.

Hi Keetakawee,

Thank you for sending me the new EthernetStream2 and Nikola2..You have achieved something very special here! I use an Aurender W20 to serve all digital audio and it allows me to stream Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify. I always use data stored on the drives in the Aurender where I can, because no streaming service can match locally-served data (even using a Naim ND-555).

But more importantly, with your new products in the signal path, streamed audio is as close to locally-served audio as I’ve yet heard. The sound is more open, textures and soundstage are significantly improved – and if I wasn’t able to do a side-by-side comparison between streamed and locally served, I’d have said the streamed audio was as good as locally served.

This is a significant change, because streamed audio has previously sounded a lot less dynamic and involving. So Congratulations!

I’m delighted to have upgraded and am happy to know that I now have access to a significantly better and far more enjoyable audio source for streaming – and one I can happily live with whenever I don’t have the music stored locally.

Thank you! ?
Simon

I’m happy to hear that he can enjoy streaming in his highend system to the extent that he feel it could be as good as locally served. 🙂

Nikola2 Linear Power Supply review on Audio Bacon by Jay Luong

Nikola2 - Linear Power Supply

 

The first review of Nikola2 Linear Power Supply by Mr. Jay Luong was published in Audio Bacon for a long while. I’ve been very busy and kept forgetting to publish this review but it’s finally up now with very positive results.

I’m glad to see that Mr. Jay appreciates how Nikola2 can bring real sound performance that he can hear from real life instruments. It’s Nikola2 design philosophy to deliver world class tone and timbre as mentioned in his review.

Also, I’m very honored to know that he regards Nikola2 to be the power supply equivalent of my reference USB cable and decided to keep Nikola2 as he mentioned in his review. That’s the best moment for every manufacturer.

Positive Feedback

As far as power supplies still being sold, the Fidelizer Nikola2 power supply has the best tonality and timbre in the entire lineup. It has a fantastic amount of tonal variance, soul, and essence. It’s incredibly tactile, balanced in fullness, and articulates with just enough precision. Because of that, you’re able to hear subtle timbral and cues and resonances that are usually masked by other power supplies. This is consonant with what I hear in real life.

Thank you again for this wonderful review of Nikola2 product. You can read his full review and see how Nikola2 performs compared to other linear power supplies to understand how linear power supply can improve sound quality better.

Nikola Signature - linear power supply

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered Nikola2 to power JCAT USB XE card. He also use other linear power supplies too.

Hey Keetakawee, I just want to thank you for the most beautiful sounding linear power supply I’ve ever heard through my system. The Nikola 2 is the most natural and tonally accurate linear power supply I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to. It bested my Uptone Audio JS-2, Jcat Optimo 3 Duo, and Ferrum Hypsos in pure musicality and enjoyment. Why isn’t the Nikola 2 more well-known? It deserves so much more attention… and it being better (to me) while still being cheaper than the other linear power supplies is a triumph in of itself. 5 out of 5 stars. Would recommend and would absolutely purchase again if I need another power supply.

Sincerely,
-Jon

I’m happy to hear that he finds Nikola2 being the most natural and tonally accurate one among other highend linear power supplies he owns. That’s the most important part for me when I was tuning Nikola. 🙂

Nikola Signature - linear power supply

 

Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered Nikola2 to power Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport. He heard good things about Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport + Nikola2 from his friend and decide to order one for his CD transport also.

Hi Keetakawee,
I just want to thank you in regard to the Nickola 2 LPS and its pairing with the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport. Simply put, an outstanding combo.

Improvement is noted across all sonic parameters. Most notably, tone/timbre/3 -dimensional space/and just a more natural sound quality and fluidity of musical flow and presentation. Bottom line is heightened emotional realism. This is an excellent linear power supply.

Sincerely,
Charles

I’m happy to hear that Nikola2 is working great with Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport as an outstanding combo and happy listening. 🙂
