![]() If we were to compare how Windows sounds as stock environment, Windows Server 2022 is no doubt the best sounding Windows. When I tried Windows Server 2022 this year, I was blown away by Windows Server 2022’s performance. Many people said Windows Server sounds a lot better but personally I prefer sound signature from some Windows 10 builds more so I didn’t look into Server builds as much until this year. Here’s summarize about major updates in version 5.0 update.Īdded Windows Server 2022 Sound Quality Optimizations This is probably the biggest update since launching Nimitra 6 years ago. Version 5.0 will cover changes in various areas to improve sound quality and also reliability with better user experience. With new VRDS ATLAS transport from Esoteric K1X Grandioso, I finally brought Nimitra2 to masterpiece level with firmware 5.0 update. As old saying goes “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.Īfter releasing Nimitra2 with improved hardware modification, I’ve been optimizing Nimitra2 to improve sound quality with new standards. This option is a matter of personal and subjective experience about sound changes in different version updates. I’d like to assure you that Fidelizer Nimitra server is still fully compatible with Roon 2.0. If you’re using Fidelizer Nimitra as Roon core running version 2.0 and want to setup Roon 1.8 Legacy version, I can backup your Roon 2.0 repository and start new Roon core 1.8 legacy for you to try and see if you want to keep using Roon 1.8 Legacy version. ![]() You can also upgrade to 2.0 at any time from backup and Roon 2.0 that can’t be downgraded. To my findings, it sounds decent, get the jobs done and I won’t have to worry about new updates causing change in sound signature like Roon 2.0.Īfter testing Roon 1.8 Legacy today, I decided to add Roon core version in Fidelizer Nimitra Computer Audio Server with Roon 1.8 Legacy as default option. So, I went back to Roon 1.8 Legacy and start fresh since Roon’s database can’t be downgraded from 2.0 to 1.8 release. For audiophiles using Roon solely for serious stereo system, this isn’t good news. It looks like Roon 2.0 will focus on adopting more features to provide more accessibility such as Roon ARC and CarPlay and those changes may cause sound signature changes in some systems over time. I shared my findings in Roon’s community hoping devs can test things out but my feedback wasn’t well received. I investigated and tested different 2.0 builds and found that Roon 2.0 build 1182 sounds more preferable as the last build before CarPlay support. ![]() However, Roon 2.0 starts adopting CarPlay support in recent updates and some audiophiles feel they can’t enjoy music from Roon as they used based on feedback received from customers and friends asking me if I notice changes in sound with recent Roon update. There’s some sound signature changes during Roon 2.0 updates but still sound acceptable for serious listening. After Roon 1.8 update, Fidelizer starts developing unique Roon optimization for Fidelizer Nimitra as Roon core and things have been going well so far. ![]()
