Added iBasso DX200 Fidelizer Advanced ROM + Masterpiece Mod feedback from Alberto

 

iBasso AMP Module

 

Here’s another feedback today from iBasso DX200 user who visited Thailand recently. He shared me his feedback after receiving Fidelizer Advanced ROM + Masterpiece Mod as below.

In the main while thank you once again, and all my compliments for the result you have achieved on the DX200. When it is used as player for my car (the 85% of its use), your upgrade were by far more “pleasant and effective” than all the work I’ve done changing the whole set of speakers and the car audio amplification system.

I’m glad to hear that Fidelizer Advanced ROM + Masterpiece Mod can bring more pleasant and effective than his car audio upgrade. 🙂

Fidelizer Masterpiece Mod for iBasso AMP Module and Chord Products released

Happy new year 2023 everyone. Today I’d like to announce new projects for Fidelizer Mod that has been on going development for a long while. Due to busy schedule with EtherStream2 and AirStream2 projects, I revised Fidelizer Mod into two main projects as below.

 

iBasso AMP Module

 

The first one is iBasso AMP Module project that will replace iBasso DAP modification project. Modding the entire DAP circuit is very risky and it takes a lot of time to carefully solder very small parts in delicate circuit. So I talked to technician and revised the project to AMP Module only now.

The good part about iBasso AMP Module project is I can focus Masterpiece modification on AMP module with new tuning method and overhaul circuit parts upgrade. Modern iBasso DAPs also sound decent with improved design through years so we settled down with AMP Module modification.

 

Fidelizer Mod - Chord Hugo2

 

The second project is adding Masterpiece Mod level for Chord products. I’ve been developing a new Masterpiece level for a long while with new Mojo 2 and Hugo 2 products too so it took time to adjust the changes and finalize what I can really do to bring the most of out Chord’s second generation products.

Masterpiece Mod level will upgrade input filtering opamp with latest technology opamp model from market that provides better resolution and details while retaining original musicality. I also upgraded USB Audio’s clock module with high precision clock and apply noise reduction tweaks.

 

Both iBasso AMP Module and Chord products are active Fidelizer Mod projects now. I also removed Fiio and HiBy DAPs from Fidelizer Mod project due to the lack of time to support. You can check Portable Products page for more details about Fidelizer Mod project and I hope you will have a great year ahead!
