Things I realized while refactoring USB audio drivers for Nimitra server

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.

Thank you for supporting EtherStream Network Switch with 16 units sold in first week (38 including pre-global)

 

EtherStream - Main

 

First of all, I’m very thankful to understanding clients. I gave a lot of thoughts whether I should launch this solution as a product or not because it can lead to controversial topics. With encouragement from friends and clients in Thailand, I decided to publish it as a product.

Learning from mistakes in Nikola that I couldn’t deliver product to local retailers in timely fashion, I tried to sell products to local retailers first until they get enough for their clients. I didn’t expect to sell over 20 units before global launch as audiophile network switch is quite new in Thailand.

The first EtherStream order was sold in June 2019 to one local NimitraS client who happened to ask about network switch upgrade when I was improving streaming media with network switch modification. After that, I brought to many rooms testing many applications. I also tested with my dad’s TV too.

Some may consider EtherStream as a simply cash grab network switch mods at glance. If you read behind my story in product page, you can see I also put a lot of effort with many products in market for years. I wouldn’t push something if it’s not more effective than what I can already buy myself.

Launching EtherStream product reminds me when I first started sharing Fidelizer software. I faced the similar hardship again and I’m mentally prepared to be misunderstood for a while this time. I’m glad to know that I have you guys support. EtherStream will certainly make you smile. 🙂

Introducing EtherStream, Audiophile Network Switch from Fidelizer Audio

 

EtherStream - Main

 

Today I’d like to introduce a new product I’ve been working for some time now. It’s a network switch modification that can break the barrier between streaming media and local ones to enjoy both as equals.

Personally, I’m just a passionate audiophile who prefer buying solutions that work and enjoy the music. I bought and tried a few audiophile network switches along with other network tweaks but I couldn’t find one that I can truly happy with streaming content.

And it’s not just me. Many highend audiophiles, reviewers, and store owners told me they find sound quality from streaming being unacceptable in their reference systems. Although they’re happy with Nimitra, they can’t feel the same way when playing streaming media.

I tried to fix network issues years back and seriously working on it since last year in attempt to get satisfying network streaming quality but it didn’t work out as I hoped for. I was very busy in building Nimitra servers and custom orders too so I couldn’t make enough research.

 

EtherStream - Modification

 

This year I decided to slow things down and focus more on fulfilling my passion of music. I finally made a solution that can truly enjoy streaming as I hoped for. EtherStream Network Switch is a modified Cisco SG110D-08 network switch with the following modification:

-Input capacitor upgraded with high capacitance and low impedance tuned for optimal performance
-Safety resistors upgraded 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 quality clock from Japan with noise reduction tweaks
-Components are soldered with high quality solder providing solid bass and dynamics

It’s the most affordable and most effective network switch with overhaul modification doing everything I can to improve quality in network. I can guarantee that you will find very satisfying improvements on both audio/video applications.

The product price will be $395 USD with 30-day money back guaranteed. You can read more about EtherStream Network Switch product in details before ordering and happy listening. 🙂
