Things I realized while refactoring USB audio drivers for Nimitra server

 in Article

Today I refactored USB audio drivers for Nimitra server and update latest drivers from possible sources I found for 2019 update. While during driver update for whole night, I realized something interesting.

 

1. Many clients are computer illiterate and I often see my Fidelizer clients asking his friends to setup with driver. Companies not providing public driver support will cause a lot of trouble for their clients who don’t setup driver themselves. I’m sure they have their reasons but refusing to provide public driver download can cause clients returning products due to unexpected issues.

2. Driver download should be easily accessible. Some companies don’t provide driver download in product or support page and browsing through site’s structure to find downloadable content can make some people giving up on trying. Some companies also made a good decision to adopt single technology and make universal driver for all products which is very nice.

3. Products with more up to date drivers will take higher priority on customer’s checklist. Some used to be famous products gaining less attention due to using legacy XMOS driver version 1.61 and newer Windows 10 with updates may have strange issues for some.

 

I also saw a few companies leaving industry and some redirected audiophile website to some random shops instead which is kinda sad too. Computer audio should be easier to use with less trouble and I hope Nimitra can help getting better audio experience with passionate products.

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. 🙂

JPLAY 7 Femto upgrade on Nimitra/NimitraS situation

 in News

After JPLAY 7 Femto was released, I tested the software and found issues with my test equipment so I held out the upgrade and recommend my clients to wait until I can confirm JPLAY 7 is stable enough. Nimitra is a turnkey solution and I need to make sure it will work fine before upgrading.

I continue to test JPLAY from time to time and now it has version 7D with USB Audio Class 1 issue workaround added as I request. I still stumple upon playback instability and after trying to work out with JPLAY staff, I think it’s ready to inform clients now.

 

JPLAY 7 Femto is now stable for most cases except some issues that happened with me as below.

1. USB Audio Class 1 DAC will work with Classic engine only
2. JPLAY Femto service can’t be played from JRiver Media Center library
3. JPLAY Femto library server will crash in mConnect Android app during browsing

 

If these issues won’t become an obstacle with your system, you can upgrade to JPLAY 7 Femto on Nimitra/NimitraS with JPLAY 7 Femto now. Setting up free trial version to test with Nimitra before upgrading is highly recommended. However, JPLAY 7 upgrade is for 64-bit version only!

For customers with 32-bit version, you can send unit back to me for 64-bit reinstallation. That’ll cost $100 USD. If you have Nimitra, you may consider upgrading to NimitraS at $500 USD with free 64-bit reinstallation version.

 

You can purchase JPLAY 7 Femto upgrade from JPLAY directly at 79 Euros. If you prefer to upgrade through Fidelizer, it’ll be $99 USD with PayPal conversion fee and some exchange rate buffer applied.

New JPLAY purchase in Nimitra/NimitraS will be a Classic version and can be upgraded to Femto as an optional upgrade. Please let me know if you have any question about Nimitra and JPLAY products and I’ll assist you with best of my abilities. Happy listening. 🙂

Regards,
Keetakawee
