Introducing Fidelizer Cables section featuring USB and Ethernet cables for streamers

 in News

 

Cables - Main

 

After completing Erawan flagship streamer product, the mission has become clear to me that Fidelizer won’t be able to deliver real sound experience without getting digital done right if most cables in market don’t follow industrial standards properly.

Digital isn’t just about coloration like analogue cables. Jitter is the most important aspect in time domain so designing digital cables that don’t follow industrial standards will cause unexpected issues related to jitter.

To address this issue and make sure Fidelizer streamers such as Erawan, Nimitra, and CoreStream will deliver real sound experience as envisioned, I decided to open Fidelizer cables section to distribute digital cables for these products as below.

 

CoreStream USB / CAT8 Cable

After successful launch of CoreStream streamer that can provide highend audio performance with Audirvana / JPLAY / Roon software for many customers worldwide, some people asked for suitable USB and ethernet cables for CoreStream too. So we designed cables with optimal sonic performance for CoreStream as below.

This is actually the first design as cables for Nimitra streamer before launching CoreStream. Since we found the most suitable design for Nimitra later, it’d be a shame to drop this cost effective design so we revised the design for CoreStream instead.

 

Conductors: 8 x 24AWG solid core pure copper
Finishing: Foil + Tinned copper with premium grade sleeving
Connector: Premium grade connectors
Standard length: 5ft (1.5m)

 

The MSRP price for CoreStream cable at standard length 5ft is US $169 with 30-day money back guarantee and one year product’s warranty. These cables are the best in its price point to use with Fidelizer CoreStream streamer.

 

Nimitra USB / CAT8.1 Cable

Nimitra streamer is our first and most accomplished product getting a lot of awards from professional media worldwide including Stereophile. We designed Nimitra cables with the similar principle as affordable yet can deliver performance as flagship quality level product.

We tested Nimitra cables with many flagship quality cables in our clients’ systems and make sure that Nimitra with these cables can deliver streaming experience that can scale wonderfully for our clients worldwide who use ultra highend systems too.

Conductors: 8 x 24AWG solid core pure copper
Finishing: 100% coverage Foil + Tinned copper with noise reduction high-end grade sleeving
Connector: High-end grade connectors
Standard length: 5ft (1.5m)
The MSRP price for Nimitra cable at standard length 5ft is US $499 with 30-day money back guarantee and one year product’s warranty. These cables are the best in its price point to use with Fidelizer Nimitra streamer.

 

Erawan USB / Fast Ethernet Cable

 

Erawan - USB / Fast Ethernet Cable

 

Erawan flagship streamer is our main reason why we decided to make cable products. At first, we intended to make only one cable design that can be used on both Nimitra and Erawan. However, there was one cost no objective design in our minds for almost 10 years too.

We considered it for a very long time and decided to believe in our gut feeling to build it. This has triple layer of finishing optimized to deliver the most transparent sound revealing every micro-detail. Ethernet cable is designed for 100mbps speed only for lowest noise floor.

Conductors: 4 x 22AWG solid core pure copper
Finishing: 100% coverage Foil + Tinned copper with teflon insulation and triple layer finishing (Carbon / FEP / PFA)
Connector: High-end grade connectors
Standard length: 5ft (1.5m)
The MSRP price for Erawan cable at standard length 5ft is US $1899 with 30-day money back guarantee and one year product’s warranty. These cables are the best with cost no objective design to use with Fidelizer Erawan flagship streamer.

 

Fidelizer USB / Ethernet cables follow industrial standards having matching impedance of cable and use professional connectors with years of research and testing to make sure they’re robust, secure, and deliver best experience and value.

You can order Fidelizer cable starting from $169 USD with 30-day money back guaranteed and free shipping until 30st April 2026. You can read more information about Fidelizer Cables in details before ordering and happy listening.

My JCAT USB Card impressions

 in Article

JCAT USB Card

 

I got this card from Marcin after he heard the news about building music server. The card arrived few days ago and I have my chance to listen to JCAT USB Card now. Let me warn you beforehand that I’m not reviewer so I’ll just say what I think about this card.

First, let’s see about the build quality. It’s very neat and solid card. I don’t like seeing an audiophile card being bloated with filters or mods that goes beyond its scale. JCAT USB Card is done right for commercial products. Some people may think it’s too expensive from its plain looks but chipsets and parts are chosen from high grade and PCB is done with good quality. There’s jumpers for power supply and filter. Good, I don’t like filter and I don’t have 2.1mm PSU to feed right now so I’ll use power supply from Seasonic Platinum PSU. It’s considered one of better PSUs for computers.

Next, let’s see how it sounds. I’m surprised. It’s like you’re listening to MP3 and then switch to FLAC. I used to hear ups and downs with other audiophile USB cards probably due to its massive filters. But JCAT USB Card make things much more evident than before. Headroom is increased with fuller dynamics and micro-detail. The music is much more alive with liquidity that I didn’t expect any USB Card to be able to pull this off.

Now let’s see how filters work. For the sake of trying, I’ll switch back and see how it turns out. The reason I don’t like filter because it’ll make the music sounds less live with compressed sound. I want fuller sound, live sound, and reveal everything as long as it’s clean enough. But JCAT USB Card’s filter changed my opinion about filter. It still has issues with compressed sound but in less significant manners. However, it’s really freaking cleaner while it retains most of music elements just fine. Look that DEEP AND TIGHT BASS. So deep, so tight, yet so smooth. I can’t believe I’m hearing this from USB Card listening to YouTube music. I think they can easily make USB filter product to sell separately just fine.

I normally don’t make a big impressions on products but this JCAT USB card is one of the best product I’ve heard from JPLAY. As expected coming from a guy who actually listen to music with real highend sources. There’s certain hits and misses that entry and mid-level products won’t understand but he delivered it finely at the price that is worthy for people who can afford. If you have budget and want the best things, JCAT USB Card will surely deliver it for you. It doesn’t look really stand out but it’s worth trying to get to the top of the hills.
