Introducing StreamPoint, the world’s first Wi-Fi solution engineered to complete your streaming experience

 in News

 

StreamPoint - Main

 

After finishing AirStream2 development, many clients are satisfied with how AirStream2 can help streaming reaching highend audio level enough to enjoy together with flagship CD player side by side. However, there’s still something amiss making streaming few steps behind CD.

We work on many projects after completion of Erawan flagship streamer such as Lira Network Station which is our best design product to put network switch and power supply together as an upgrade not compromise, Fidelizer cables designing Erawan flagship cables for USB and ethernet connection.

Today, we’d like to introduce StreamPoint as the missing link to complete your streaming experience. This product helped us feel like streaming can finally surpass CD for the first time with our clients after years of development.

 

StreamPoint - Application 1

 

Streaming is improving a lot from last 10 years with hires streaming platform, streamer, power supply, and network switch. However, most people still use mobile phone with standard Wi-Fi with low precision clock and noisy environment feeding network switch.

You can plug ethernet cable from network switch or router to StreamPoint and enjoy audiophile access point engineered with design to minimize jitter and latency to provide the best Wi-Fi solution to audiophiles as below:

-10/100Mbps fast ethernet connection to create 2.4GHz network with lowest possible noise and jitter in network
-Audiophile build quality with aluminum chassis protecting circuit from RFI with great reliability
-Barebone access point firmware stripping DHCP, Firewall, IPv6, Logging, WAN, etc. down to most basic forms.
-Circuit design with high precision clock and improved power regulation and RF filtering network
-Intensive research on router configuration and firmware optimizations with years of experience from Purist ROM projects
-USB port power design to use power directly from high quality streaming device for maximum cost efficiency

With major breakthroughs to advance network quality on Wi-Fi with StreamPoint, we can proudly say StreamPoint is a successor of AirStream and StreamHub so they become discontinued. We’ll move forward with designing and building our own solutions from ground up in future.

 

StreamPoint - Application 2

 

StreamPoint can also work as Client mode to bridge connection from StreamPoint access point to streaming device unit like infamous TP-Link’s client mode among audio communities. They work together with true bridge design without NAT so performance and reliability is even better.

And very good news is you can use two StreamPoint AP + Client units together as true plug and play solution. No configuration required at all. Just plug StreamPoint AP to network switch/router and StreamPoint Client to streaming device. That make Wi-Fi isolation so easy for audiophiles.

The product price will be $429 USD with 30-day money back guaranteed and free shipping until 30st June 2026. You can read more about StreamPoint Access Point product in details before ordering and happy listening. 🙂

Introducing StreamHub, Audiophile Streaming Router as wireless router + network switch + DLNA server for high fidelity streaming

 in News

 

StreamHub - Streaming Router

 

After successful launch of AirStream2 wireless router with over 100 units of AirStream products being sold with no return, it’s quite certain that wireless network improvement is the missing key to complete media streaming in future.

We also found network switch in AirStream2 performing very well enough for customers to remove several audiophile network switches and use switch in AirStream2. This made us realized how great it would be if we could have:

audiophile network switch
audiophile wireless router
audiophile streamer

all in a single product at very affordable price so most audiophiles and even Netflix users can enjoy better streaming experience.

Despite being the most affordable audiophile wireless router already, $549 audiophile wireless router is still far from being reasonable for products like $500-1000 streaming DACs, soundbar, TV. So, we decided to develop a new category product to fit market’s demand perfectly.

StreamHub will improve both ethernet network as audiophile network switch and create a new Wi-Fi 6 access point called “StreamHub” with password “fidelizer” as audiophile wireless network, just like AirStream2 but at only half of the price at $279 USD.

Plus, you can also plug USB storage into StreamHub and system will prepare DLNA server for you to stream music library from router to streaming DAC directly without a computer or configuration required as true plug and stream solution.

To ensure StreamHub will meet the Fidelizer’s standards of feel the real sound, we chose the most important modification to improve StreamHub product as below:

 

-Upgrade Capacitors with high capacitance and low impedance tuned in power supply section
-Crystal clock is upgraded with high precision clock optimized for network application with noise reduction tweaks
-Components are soldered with high quality solder providing solid bass and dynamics
-Router is configured for low-latency audiophile streaming applications

 

If you use DLNA/uPNP or Airplay / Chromecast, streaming packets will be sent from application through Wi-Fi meaning there’ll be some wander jitter in streaming packets before reaching network switch. StreamHub can offer low-jitter / low-noise network to minimize total jitter in your system.

The product price will be $279 USD with 30-day money back guaranteed and free shipping until 31st October 2023. You can read more about StreamHub Streaming Router product in details before ordering and happy listening.

YouTube Sound Labs – EP1 – Can WiFi affect streaming quality?

 in Article

Hello guys. This is the new project I started for fun. One is Tidal music playback recorded from standard router provided by ISP. And another one is recorded from audiophile grade network switch and router powered by linear power supply.

I’m not going to say which one is which. You guys can listen and tell me if you prefer A or B more. Or maybe both are the same? Let’s see if YouTube video can show audible results. 🙂

Introducing AirStream, Audiophile Wireless Router from Fidelizer Audio

 in News

 

AirStream - Wireless Router

 

Today I’d like to introduce a new product I’ve been working for over a year now. It’s a wireless router with modification that can bring high fidelity audio in the air for the first time. You could call it wireless version of EtherStream for devices that you can’t use wired connection with.

I chained EtherStream with WiFi router for improved WiFi signal to use with my smartphone and my desktop computer in bedroom. They sound a lot better but still miss important information compared to direct wired connection. AirStream will deliver those missing bits.

I examined and modified a few routers in market and chose ASUS RT-AC1300UHP that has very good flagship design with quad core processor. I applied modification based on EtherStream with a lot of adjustments for over a year, tuned with EtherStream and Nikola.

Some may feel skeptical towards wireless improvements but wireless radio modulation and pulse amplitude modulation shares similar basics on modulating data with time domain. After a lot of research and development, here’s how Fidelizer brings high fidelity audio to the air:

-Upgrade Capacitors with high capacitance and low impedance tuned in 3 different stages for optimal sonic performance
-Upgrade Safety resistors with high power from Vishay Dale on DC input stage, power regulation stage, and isolation transformer stage
-Re-energize power supply with special tantalum capacitors to reducing noise and interference in processor chip effectively
-Crystal clock is upgraded with high precision clock optimized for network application with noise reduction tweaks
-Components are soldered with high quality solder providing solid bass and dynamics
-Router is configured for low-latency audiophile streaming applications

AirStream will be configured as an access point by default so you can connect AirStream to main router and enjoy high fidelity wireless streaming through new WiFi network as plug and play. You can submit an order with your own WiFi name and password.

Personally, I don’t use wireless connection on Nimitra server but there’s a lot more areas in my audiophile’s life outside main system. I also listen to music and watch video from smartphone and PC in my bedroom so AirStream will improve my enjoyment outside listening room.

The product price will be $495 USD with 30-day money back guaranteed and free shipping until 31st May 2021. You can read more about AirStream Wireless Router product in details before ordering and happy listening. 🙂
