Added iBasso AMP9 into Fidelizer Mod products

 

iBasso AMP9 - Fidelizer Mod

 

Hi guys. There’s been a lot going on since last few months so I couldn’t start my investigation on AMP9 modification as soon as it’s released. I could have put AMP9 up first but I really want to make sure I tried everything and finalize with best recipe.

Now I’ve finished my research and the wait is over. Fidelizer Mod for AMP9 is now ready with the following changes below.

 

Reference – As all other amp modules, I’ll upgrade important capacitors with highest quality one,  tuned for highest transparency and fluid dynamics. Capacitors in AMP’s power supply circuit are also upgraded with highest grade tantalum capacitors.

Signature – As many people find AMP9 lacking output power, I upgraded output buffer with more powerful but also have very power efficient one. I also applied some damping materials on NuTube module to improve vibration control for better transparency.

 

I also tested battery life with stock iBasso DX220 unit listening to music at normal volume level and it lasts more than 7 hours so it won’t affect battery life significantly. You can get the best sounding amp module with more powerful upgrade in Portable Products now. 🙂

Added HiBy R6/R6 (Stainless Steel)/R6 Pro into Fidelizer Mod products

 

HiBy R6 - Fidelizer Mod

 

In this year, I started sharing my Fidelizer Mod projects I’ve been doing and you may wonder why I opened HiBy DAP before Sony that I posted recently. I’ve been modding non-stop for several years in Thailand and now I finally have time to accept new DAP as official Fidelizer Mod today.

 

HiBy DAP

Reference – It took me a long while to decide which I should upgrade first in reference level and I decided to upgrade new set of opamps first in this stage. With more analogue sounding opamps while retaining good clarity and details, you can get both of R6/R6 Pro charm.

Signature – After sound signature issue is resolved with opamp upgrade, I can move on to audio performance improvements with highest grade tantalum capacitors in important areas that will greatly improve clarity and dynamics.

Masterpiece – In order to upgrade affordable DAP performance to reach level of what higher tier DAP in market can offer today, system clock modules will be upgraded with lower phase noise, higher precision and frequency stability with noise reduction tweaks.

 

As I’m making HiBy DAP project an official mod today, I’ll start modding another Sony NW-ZX300 I received from overseas today. I’ll add Sony DAP into Fidelizer Mod as official products after finalizing its design for Portable Products soon. 🙂

Introducing Fidelizer Mod “Masterpiece”, proper flagship mod for true affordable highend upgrade

 

Fidelizer Mod - Masterpiece

 

Fidelizer Ultimate Mod may deliver the maximum potentials of modding possibilities from trying all possibilities and choose the best combination. But what do you get as results? $899.95? $499.95? I could have modded AK380Cu and Sony WM1Z with that money!

When I think about how some companies charge $700 for modding $599 device, they probably think the same about my Fidelizer Ultimate Mod. Most people who could have afforded $500 mod would have purchased $1,000 DAP already or get flagship DAP instead of DX200 + Ultimate Mod.

 

Although Ultimate Mod is successful according to clients who purchased, it barely helps community so I decided to change my approach to support community better. Something that can really bring affordable highend performance to most owners.

Instead of upgrading everything that is possible no matter how big or small improvement is, I focus on testing and choosing the most optimal parts to be improved, revise the design and implementation to deliver the highest price / performance ratio.

Assuming Fidelizer Ultimate Mod has 100% performance index, this new “Masterpiece” concept can deliver most of best performance like 80-90% with modding cost at 40-50% lowered which is much more affordable for audiophiles who really want to upgrade.

 

At the moment Fidelizer Mod Masterpiece will be available for iBasso and Fiio DAPs with new lineup and AMP module extension only. I’ll gradually add devices I’ve modded before in Portable Products page later once I finish preparations and I also accept modding request outside listing too. 🙂
