It’s been a few months since launching Nimitra Computer Audio Server product. During these times, I also met Stiring Trayle and Roy Gregory when they came to demonstrate system setup in Thailand at Deco’s audiophile shop. Roy took interests in Nimitra product so he told me he’d write a short review about Nimitra. Here’s his comment about sound quality part.
So far, listening experience with the Nimitra has been limited to a system in which it was acting as a network player connected to a dCS Vivaldi DAC. The results were unusually planted and rhythmically coherent for a file source, with greater body, weight, musical coherence and structural organization than I’m used to from file sources. But perhaps most interesting was the direct comparison with a MacBook Air, running on battery and feeding the DAC’s USB input via Nordost’s excellent Blue Heaven USB cable, a setup that produced a sound that was insubstantial, flattened and disjointed in comparison. All of which marks the Fidelizer as apart from other file-replay solutions I’ve heard. It seems that the high-end aspirations have been realized and that all that comparative listening has paid off.
It’s an honor for my first hardware product to be reviewed by well known writer such as Roy. Stirling Trayle also bought Nimitra after setting up Wilson speakers using Nimitra device. I’m sending Nimitra to a few reviewers so more will come soon.
