#Rubinson hqplayer upgrade#
For original Nimitra and Nimitra Signature owner, you can send your original unit to upgrade to Nimitra2 at $1,100 for Nimitra and $600 for Nimitra Signature. With all new improvements focusing on improving purity of signal and reduce interference, I can hear music flowing with richer ambient and micro detail and feel closer to music with newfound improvements on Nimitra2. Capacitors in motherboard are tuned with better resolution and details extraction
All clock modules in motherboard are now upgraded improving sound quality on USB/Ethernet/HDMI MOSFET in motherboard’s power supply circuit is upgraded with high quality one from Japan Motherboard and chassis has vibration absorber/isolator material reducing vibration to motherboard Custom aluminum chassis design for better resonance/vibration control and heat dissipation Nimitra2’s Features (As upgrade from Signature): Nimitra2 will pair up nicely with modern DACs in market with custom made chassis, optimized as a streamer to deliver performance based on CD transport with Esoteric’s drive. Now that I can finalize Nimitra2 design and production line, it’s time to embark a new journey. I’ve been selling Nikola Signature with Nikola2 circuit board for over a year now, waiting for Nimitra2’s completion. I planned to launch them last year but could not make it to production stage due to covid situation which affect many companies worldwide causing long delay. This will keep Nimitra affordable and I can focus on taking second generation to next level. There’s also very good cost effective Nikola Classic at $395. With Classic series, it helped me realizing my dream to make highend audio performance affordable at $995. I always thought it’d be great if we can build a product having performance that resembles custom highend server for half price.
As I also have clients ordering custom $5-7k server project since the first Nimitra. There’s so much going on behind the scene since last year. After years of preparations and refining products for second generation, Nimitra2 and Nikola2 are finally ready for production which are projects I’ve been working for 2 years already.
