Re-introducing NimitraOS, I think it’s time to address Nimitra’s platform and features properly

 in News

Last year I was so busy preparing and shipping a few Nimitra units including some special custom order ones. This year I have a bit of time to develop and research on various things and today I realize it’s time to properly re-address about Nimitra’s core competencies in software.

Back then the idea of introducing software features in Nimitra as OS sounds technically incorrect since OS is Windows 10 and doesn’t sound sincere. That’s what I thought and introduced as Nimitra Edition Platform with a bit too short description since I was too focused on sound quality alone.

While I was working on Nimitra updates recently, I realized I didn’t mention many useful features I developed at all. And thinking again most Linux-based OS are actually distros packed with different kernel and software. Some are actually dressed popular distros or tweaked ones.

So, it would sound appropriate address these features in platform as OS for user to understand Nimitra better and I’ll name it NimitraOS. At least this should make more sense than Windows 10 Nimitra Edition Platform. I updated NimitraOS in Nimitra product page as below.

 

NimitraOS: Fidelized Windows 10 Platform for audiophiles

 

Windows 10 comes with many features unrelated to audio solutions. Some may tweak OS to disable unused features and services. NimitraOS optimizes at roots by removing all non-audio features from installation itself, with dedicated optimizations to maximize audio performance.

 

Fidelized Windows 10 Pro debloating performance

 

This reduces RAM usage to only 1GB in fully operational mode with special version of Fidelizer as CAS platform using specialized optimizations that can ready your system in about 30 seconds from power on. NimitraOS is the most solid Windows platform optimized for audiophiles.

NimitraOS also come with assistant software maintaining products and services used in Nimitra such as maintaining library database with storage changes on Asset/JRiver/MinimServer automatically. JPLAY services are handled with audio detection providing smoothest experience.

Audio drivers will no longer trouble NimitraOS with over 500 latest drivers integrated providing bit-perfect playback with manufacturer’s driver as true plug and play. There’s also Teamviewer support to assist with software and driver update remotely.

 

I hope this will help you understanding Nimitra Computer Audio Server better on software improvements side. It’s not just trimmed down OS with audio optimizations but also packed with a lot of quality of life features making complexed things done simpler. 🙂

Things I realized while refactoring USB audio drivers for Nimitra server

 in Article

 

Image result for xmos audio driver

 

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. 🙂
