Here’s another feedback today. This time it’s quite elaborated since he upgraded from older Fidelizer 7 version. Dear Keetakawee, The result of the Upgrade from Fidelizer 7.7 to 8.0 is a much better sound in my system. The separation of the instruments is better, the voices are clearer and the bass is stronger.

Added X5iii Fidelizer Ultimate Mod feedback from William Sieow
Here’s another feedback today from Fiio X5iii customer who compared Fidelizer Ultimate Mod against Fiio’s newer devices recently. I just tried my Fidelizer-powered X5iii against Fiio’s latest M9 DAP. The M9 is a huge improvement over the stock X5iii but no match against your powerful mod. 🙂 Comparing X5iii + fidelizer against X7ii however, it’s very close. The former…

Should I get NimitraS or Nimitra + Nikola first?
I received similar questions from a few clients recently since NimitraS is $1895 and you can buy Nimitra + Nikola at about the same price too. After answering their questions, I believe it’s worth sharing my insights about this upgrade path. Upgrading server with good linear power supply will really help your server shine a lot. I tested…
Let’s exam Roon Rock OS – Windows emulator in Linux clothing
Most people probably know me as a Windows guy but I actually took all possibilities to improve computer audio including Mac and Linux too. I wouldn’t be able to push 100% positive feedback on Fidelizer Purist ROM for Android ROM without intensive research on Linux OS. Today I decided to explore what’s inside Roon ROCK and see if I can…
Correction: Roon Rock OS isn’t Windows emulator nor emulation from Windows environment
Since I published my article yesterday about Roon Rock OS, I noticed my headline has misleading title as Mono is open source platform to emulate what .NET runtime does in other platforms like Linux/Mac. It’s not conveyed properly and some may understand Mono as .NET runtime emulator so I apologize for this mistake. I also have my own misunderstanding about…

Future of Fidelizer Mod – Moving on from Ultimate Mod concept
My first Fidelizer Mod project started from AK240 era when my friend in community sent me iBasso DX90 to apply firmware modification for better sound quality.

Introducing Fidelizer Mod “Masterpiece”, proper flagship mod for true affordable highend upgrade
Fidelizer Ultimate Mod may deliver the maximum potentials of modding possibilities from trying all possibilities and choose the best combination. But what do you get as results? $899.95? $499.95? I could have modded AK380Cu and Sony WM1Z with that money! When I think about how some companies charge $700 for modding $599 device, they probably think the same…
