Of course, what I wanted to find out is whether it really works simply plug-and-play and how satisfying my music listening would be when using it in my system. It’s a small silent headless PC with special Fidelizer optimisation and a highly regarded music player, supplied pre-configured for plug-and-play. The Nimitra concept is highly appealing for audiophiles who are not computer geeks. The Nimitra Computer Audio Server comes with quite a pedigree, coming from Keetakawee Punpeng, the creator of the Fidelizer PC audio optimiser software ( reviewed by TNT-Audio several times). When I heard that a true plug-and-play server was available from someone I knew as the vendor of one of the reliably functional products I use, I jumped at the opportunity for a listening test. Each one has disappointed due to compatibility, ease-of-use, or PC resource issues. In recent times I have been offered a variety of alternatives, each with a claim of superior sound quality and ease of use. In all cases I use the JRiver Remote app on my iPad to control library searching and playback. I also use the JRiver media server option to access my HDD-based music library on a SONY VAIO laptop which is connected to my USB DAC. Over the past 10 years I have been using various configurations of PC-based audio, beginning with a simple audio output cable, then progressing to various DACs and media player software, and to my current setup comprising JRiver Media Center 21 and Fidelizer Pro running on a Samsung Windows 10 netbook and serving music files to a network-connected Raspberry Pi and Mamboberry DAC+ ( see my recent review of the latter). Is this new product from the Fidelizer guy a simple-to-use, reliable, and sensibly-priced high-performance and versatile music file playback option?
