If you uncheck this option, Fidelizer Pro will behave like Free/Plus version requiring you to run Fidelizer Pro executable each time you want to perform optimizations. Permanent optimizations like system configuration and disabling service (if you keep that option) will keep working.

So thanks to someone. I'm happyto hear Fidelizer and microRendu are working great together. I also build Nikola linear power supply for microRendu too so let me know if you're interested in power supply upgrade.

Should I do a clean W10 install before adding the Fidelizer Pro ? Nimitra has much more optimizations than Fidelizer Pro. The Windows 10 itself was heavily optimized and I use special version of FIdelizer for very dedicated audio server build (one that can't be published for end users). I'm not really sure what RDT is but at least it should work fine with Fidelizer Pro with default Consumer user level. If it doesn't require any specific service, it should work fine with all options too.

I forgot to ask about the correct 'Flowchart' for using 8Pro with AO. Here's my plan so please tell me if this is right. I will change AO from Core back to GUI. Download and Install 8pro Implement 8pro as you suggested 'Purist and Network'. I forgot to mention I have to leave the Drivers installed on AO for the Mutec to work (Is that an issue with 8pro?) Return AO to Core and run AO Set up. All done............great music then fills the room :-) When tweaking AO I normally take my CAPS out of the HiFi unit and set it up on my desk with a screen, keyboard, mouse and LAN cable to my router. This means that when I am done configuring I power off the CAPS and return it to the HiFi cabinet. With 8pro I take it all the optimisation is retained on a new reboot. Is this Flow chart the correct way to go with Fid and AO? Regards Cazzesman I believe that sounds abut right and please don't forget to set FIdelizer as AO Shell if you use Windows Server 2012/2012 R2. You don't need to do that on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10. Since Fidelizer 8 also use network card information for generating license key, please make sure you have final network configuration before sending the key in order too. AO also use network card information to verify license too. On 8/4/2561 at 11:36 PM, pompon said: Any plan to support Motu's driver with fidelizer ? I can't use it because it's kill motu's processus to a lower state and music not able to go through without cut. If you use Consumer or Minimalist user level, it should work fine. You can also use Process Lasso to maintain specific processes that FIdelizer don't recognize as audio too. If you can send me process name list, I can add that into future updates. I'm sorry for not answering this thread sooner. I was so busy clearing my jobs before visiting my parents on Thailand's new year. I'm back to normal situation now and I'll keep checking this thread every day. Happy listening.

Cazzesman Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Brilliant Keetakawee, just what I wanted to hear. Regards Cazzesman Link to comment
Cazzesman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Sorry for all the questions but it is abit difficult without a detailed manual. I have installed Fid 8 on my CAPS and purchased 8 pro. Whilst awaiting the ID to return I have run the free Ver 8.1 After Free 8.1 ran it then went back to Core mode via AO and reran AO to Optimise the CAPS. Of course, at the end of the AO process, the PC rebooted to set the changes. Does that now mean that the free Ver 8.1 is nolonger active and needs to be reactive via command prompts? If so how is that done? Lastly, I take it that this is not an issue in 8.1 Pro mode as any settings applied in Gui will remain in Core mode post-AO Optimizing reboot and remain intact throughout. Regards Cazzesman Link to comment
Cazzesman Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 After Keetakawee answered my many questions, today I received my 8.1pro exe file via email. On my CAPS I converted back from AO Core to Gui and installed the 8.1 .exe. Having the file Software on the screen made things a lot clearer in my mind re set up. Reading about it is one thing but having it to play with made all the difference to my understanding. Keetakawee suggested Purist and Network which I tried first. All good. I have since settled on Purist and Audio Player. Network is working fine in my setup. I reset AO to Core and went through the AO setup. It all worked without incident. I checked Taskmanager and it tells me 8.1pro is working. Let the music begin. My instant impression was a real 3D music experience. Side to side, back to front. Beautiful separation and air throughout. As others have mentioned there is a jump in definition and clarity across the music. My top end has also smoothed out. The bottom end is clean and defined. 1 track 'Lorde's - Royals' really showed the improvement in all of the above. I got my wife in to listen to the track. It's great pop song but tooooo much bass she said. I said yes the deep bass is why it is so great. I loved feeling it. With the 3D improvement, there is a real texture to the vocals. Rebecca Ferguson's track Freedom from the 'Freedom' CD is glorious. A solo vocal with Rebecca on piano. You can fear/hear her forming the words in this 'Close Mic' track. As I type I have on the duo/married couple 'Tuck and Patti' Paradise Found cd. His acoustic and her vocals are sublime. So many times in life I have said, "I should have done that earlier". Installing Fidelizer with AO is one of those times. I cannot think how spending the $100 (Australian) on the 8.1pro, could have been spent anywhere else and achieved such an improvement. For those of you running Digital Audio PC systems and not using AO and Fidelizer..........what are you waiting for? Kudos Keetawakee. Well done and thanks for the passion you have instilled in your work. Regards Cazzesman Windows X 1 Link to comment
Windows X Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I was busy during Songkran event 13-15 and finally back to my home now in Bangkok to start working on my own PC now. I'm happy to hear Fidelizer Pro improves music enjoyment with real sound performance and works great together with AO. I keep Fidelizer Pro at $69.95 to make it affordable for everyone who love music and it's always great to see people who can appreciate beyond offering price.

Are you saying that Roon 1.4 was a downgrade in sound quality, and 1.5 was an uprade in SQ? With the perspecive of standard bit perfect playback, i.e. leaving aside all DSP and MQA. Also, do you recommend experimenting with any of the 3 new advanced features (starting with OS Timer Resolution) for Roon? I currently stick to the defaults. Some days my system sounds better than other days, but there's usually too many variables for me to be able to pin it down to a particular s/w release, so I haven't made any judgements on Roon releases - an exception to this is my next point below...

So thanks to someone. I did exactly those two updates, but in my case they were not done at the same time, and I can confirm that each of them improved SQ - incremetal, but very worthwhile considering both were "free". Regarding Fidelizer, with Keetawakee's help, I had previously updated my laptop to switch off hyperthreading and aligning music and non-music apps to different cores, to coincide with the new core features in 8.0. This seemed to give a nice improvement, but hard to tell if some of it was just imagination. However, when I later updated to 8.1, I could immediately notice a good improvement - I guess that the new features in 8.0 only came to full fruition in 8.1 after Keetawakee had addressed the snagging list.

Windows X Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Some people found Roon 1.4 sounding too bright and didn't like it. This issue is fixed in Roon 1.5 release. Bit-perfect means audio signal data will be streamed without processing, not a holy grail perfect audio transport with zero jitter. For Advanced features, I recommend to leave it as is for default optimal. You may adjust it to suit your taste better but current ones should be generally best. And yes version 8.1 is like a proper update for Fidelizer 8 fixing bugs and features beyond testing scope I found after the first release.

Nikhil Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hello again Keetakawee, Thank you for sending out the latest 8.2 release. I have just installed it but would like some information on how to setup Roon + HQPlayer on a Win 10 machine. With 8.2 we can now choose up to 3 media player applications - thank you very much! My first option is HQPlayer so no problem there. For my second option how would you suggest we setup Roon? At the moment my guess is to go with something like this Optimization Level: Purist Machine Configuration: Network Player Music Player Application 1 : HQPlayer Desktop Music Player Application 2 : Roon Server Music Player Application 3 : ?? Look forward to your suggestion on how best to go about setting up Roon. Regards.

Outlaw Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Also getting the same message Link to comment
Quadman Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I noticed with 8.2 when you first open it the small dialog box says V8.2 and then when the settings dialog box opens the dialog box says 8.1 in upper left corner. But when completed with settings it does go to the music player application page so it must be 8.2. It would be nice if there were better explanations on suggested setups with this software. I use AO 2.2 and that already opens Roon server and HQplayer for me, so I don't need AF to do so. I also use process Lasso which allows me to set real time priority for HQP and Roon server which seems to negate the need to do so in AF. So with a set up like mine (AO and Process lasso) what would the recommended setting be. I upsample everything to DSD512 in HQP so performance level has to be very high and I stream tidal thru roon so network is needed. Link to comment

Windows X Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi. I've been busy with fixing some security bugs in 8.2 and there's a lot of things I need to do right now so I don't have time to update user guide with Fidelizer 8 yet. My apologies. Multiple media player applications will be first introduced in Fidelizer 8.2 so it may not come with perfect UI from get go but I'll try to improve this aspect in future updates. As for media player application option, please check the box in front before hitting start. You'll be prompt to select application and choose the application to run. After fixing path error, it should run fine. If the issue is still not resolved, please contact me in email for Teamviewer 11 setup and I'll investigate the issue in details.
