Fidelizer is now 6 years old today. Time sure flies.

I published Fidelizer software in my own website on 14th April 2011. There’s a lot going on recently and also a lot of big things ahead so I’m feeling sentimental and would like to share the story of Fidelizer since its birth until today.

The start of Fidelizer wasn’t smooth sailing trip. It was a thorny road and very tough ones. I firstly built Fidelizer software for free with intention to make Windows sounding better than OS X platform since many OS X audiophiles looked down on Windows. Even now a few still ignorantly do that.

Despite my attempt to provide free good stuff to improve computer audio for audiophiles, Fidelizer was treated harshly by skeptics back then. It was removed from computer audiophile and hydrogen audio communities by administrators thinking it’s a snake oil product.

I absolutely had no intention to sell the software during that time but I hate the idea for corporate to secretly integrate my software in their highend music servers I put some protection onto it. Maybe some geeks hated to deal with these protections so I received some backlashes from them.

I considered abandoning this project for many times through the first two years. It always pained me to see people commenting Fidelizer as dangerous software even though it made no permanent changes to system and also label it as a snake oil software.

And one day, I realized that I need to pick either overcoming the setbacks by taking this project seriously or dropping this project and focus on something else. I chose to take this project seriously and put serious effort on Fidelizer and released version 6.0 with Fidelizer Upgrade Program.

Fidelizer had some sales initially and it went down to once in every 1-2 weeks. I didn’t expect Fidelizer project to be financially successful but it did solve some complaints on software itself. I started to hear positive feedback from customers and I’ve been so grateful for all feedback.

However, I still had so much to do for starting business like this. There’s one member in Audio Asylum called fmak. He hates the idea of selling audio optimizer software and keep bashing Fidelizer and its related topics. We’ve been debating on a few topics years back.

And one day, I listened to his criticisms about website full of ads so I built a new simple and clean website for it. Thank you fmak. Your honest opinion gave birth to awesome Fidelizer website. That was one of the best advice I received since founding Fidelizer.

As Fidelizer keeps growing, I’m also growing with Fidelizer too. This business changed me from being egotistical person to become understanding audiophile who now realized what it takes for audiophiles to be happy in this hobby. Fidelizer business really helps me to grow as a better person.

As I mentioned before that I started selling Nimitra Computer Audio Server as a turnkey server for audiophiles without computer knowledge, now Nimitra starts to earn recognition from media and customers. It’s won 3 big awards in only 3 months and I start to have distributors now.

Right now I’m in turning point to realize the bigger goals of Fidelizer. I’d like to tell you I truly appreciated in your support during these 6 years. I couldn’t have made it this far without all support and encouragement from you.

Thank you,
Keetakawee

Added Nimitra+Nikola feedback from Kjell Nedrebo

Here’s a new feedback today from Fidelizer Nimitra customer. He used customized PC as a dedicated audio server before and decided to take Nimitra+Nikola recently.

Nimitra/Nikola is a clear winner in my system; this innovative system represents a step change in performance. Compared with my ‘tuned’ laptop audio-PC, Nimitra/Nikola is clearly the better music machine. Higher level of detail, transparency and tonal richness. Deep soundstage, solid bass and iron control playing complex music, across all genres. The Nimitra/Nikola system moves focus from Hi-Fi to the world of music and represent excellent value for money. Thanks also for your quick and expert support!

Best regards
Kjell

Both Nimitra and Nikola are innovation to be real affordable highend products. I’m sure you’ll love them. 🙂

Added Nimitra feedback from Grant Jacobson

Here’s a new feedback today from Fidelizer Nimitra customer. He ordered both Nimitra and Nikola together and sent his impressions about Nimitra first.

Hi Keetakawee,

I got the Alpha USB driver installed and listened using jRiver Media Center. Wow! It really is a superior sounding rig! I will listen for several hours before upgrading to the Nikola power supply, but I am already very impressed!

Grant

You’ll notice immediate improvements with Nimitra server and I hope to hear his impressions about Nikola soon.

Added 5 simple step to use Nimitra

Nimitra - Cover

Being an open platform, Nimitra Computer Audio Server can do pretty much everything easily and efficiently. However, it’s not simple for people who’s new to computer audio to understand how Nimitra works.

Since I received a few questions about how to use Nimitra, here’s 5 simple step to use Nimitra.

1. Download and install Linn Kazoo app.
2. Connect USB DAC/Player and external USB hard drive to Nimitra.
3. Power on Nimitra and wait until you hear “Fidelizer Nimitra is ready”.
4. Join WiFi “Nimitra” with password “fidelizer”.
5. Open Linn Kazoo and play music.

Unbelievably easy, right? You can use Nimitra with USB DAC/Player right away as a true plug and play device. 🙂

Updates on Nimitra and Nikola product information and ordering

BAV2017 Nimitra 2

After launching Nikola Linear Power Supply, we’ve been shipping Nimitra Computer Audio Server and Nikola for every week. Thank you so much for supporting us and I’ve been shipping every unit we can without delay so far.

After getting inquiries and orders for a while, I noticed some people often asked me about comparing Nimitra to other highend servers. I decided to change some context in reviews so they can see for themselves.

“A friend from Asia, with an impressive high-end audio setup, didn’t miss his Aurender W20 anymore since acquiring Fidelizer’s Nimitra; he actually sold it. At ten times the price difference, it surely opens up a Pandora’s Box.”

– Matej Isak, Mono and Stereo

“I’d take the Nimitra over the SOtM 1000D I reviewed a couple years ago in a heartbeat. It’s cheaper, more user friendly, more flexible and if aural memory serves, sounds just as good if not better.”

Paul Candy, 6moons

You can also read what customers say about Nimitra to see how it performs on their systems.  Some also mentioned about highend servers too.

As for Nikola power supply, some people requested me to build 15V and 19V ones so I decided to add 15V and 19V support. I also added micro USB 2.0 connector output option to use Nikola as highend mobile charger.

Since Nikola will have transformer built for optimal voltage range, we will order transformer with specific output voltage. We don’t use the same transformer we built for 12V or 5V to get the ideal output.
