Added PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations for iBasso DX50/80/90 Fidelizer Enhanced/Advanced ROM

Fidelizer - PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations

 

For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

I tried to update Fidelizer ROMs for these products since last month but it was very time consuming to update 3 units at the same time and there’s other stuff I need to pay attention when I was going to work on these units. iBasso DX100 is also very important to work on too.

Now I’ve finished PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations for all existing products in website. I’m very glad that I’ve made it this far so I can start working on other DAPs like Calyx M, Onkyo DP-X1A, etc. I didn’t forget them but there’s a lot to work on including DX200 2.7 ROM update.

If you still use good old iBasso DX50/80/90, you can check out Fidelizer Purist ROM first and see. If you’d like to upgrade with PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations in Enhanced / Advanced ROM, there’ll be a lot of improvements that won’t disappoint those who can appreciate Purist ROM. 🙂

Added X7 Purist ROM feedback from Hans Steffers

Here’s a new feedback today from Fiio X7 user. He shared his feedback about free Purist ROM in Fidelizer’s Facebook page as below.

I’ve installed your Purist ROM on my X7 yesterday and the first listening is very promising. It might be imagination but I hear better instrument/vocal separation and more space. I’ll keep testing. Thanks already for all your effort and bringing this to the X7.

I’m happy to know that my ROM optimizations can improve music enjoyment for portable hifi setup and will continue to do so. 🙂

iBasso DX100/HDP-R10 Purist ROM version 1.4.2 released!

Fidelizer - DX100 Purist ROM

 

I was told new DX200 ROM is out now but allow me to release this first. In my early days of Android ROM optimizations, I got a chance to try optimizing DX100 ROM for my client once but couldn’t get the optimized ROM working due to my inexperience.

I recently got another chance to try on iBasso DX100 firmware again. Now I know more about Android and Linux so I can optimize both boot and system image without corrupting it. DX100 is quite slow with Gingerbread and Fidelizer Purist ROM helps a lot.

After modifying DX100 firmware, the client himself told me he’ll apply Fidelizer Ultimate Mod for completed hardware upgrade next. I also modified AK380Cu last week and have few more DX200, AK380Cu and Opus#2 to work on so this will take a while. 🙂

 

-Based on firmware version 1.4.2
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-Audio engine optimized for only audio playback (EQ/Gaplass features work)
-Bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine (Poweramp works now)

Fiio X5iii Purist ROM version 1.1.8 released with PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations!

 

Fidelizer - PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations

 

For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

Before introducing PerfectDynamics update, I tested PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations with iBasso DX200, Fiio X5iii and iBasso DX90 to confirm my theory. However, launching new ROM updates requires more testing and I found some issues to work on since last week.

When I left X5iii playing with repeat, I found it stopped playing after few tracks. I also added other optimizations for Fiio itself too so finding which tweaks caused this issue took me a lot longer than I expected and now it’s finally fixed and stable for whole night music.

-Based on firmware version 1.1.8
-Deodexed
-Apollo – Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included
