fidata audio network component

Nonesup, l copied your posts to the other thread on Network Devices because of its relevance. Hope you don't mind?
 
No, the Correos website tells me that on the 17th, he left Germany. It might be that he comes on a camel, as in the ancient silk route.
 
The last update of the tracking, tells me that Madid has arrived, I hope that in two or three days I will arrive at my house.
I was right, he came on a camel.
 
That certainly is slow.

Had a look at the new Melco at a show today and spoke to one of the Melco people from Japan. They are the same company that made a turntable years ago which I used to distribute.

The fidata is a similar size but nicer finish and according to people l know and respect with Soulution systems it is better sounding than anything else including servers that cost more.
 
The model you've seen on the show is already the new MKII?
In my view the problem of Fidata, is that not having a wide network of distributors, does not have a test system at home, such as do Lampizator or Total Dac.
I know what the improvements are in the new MKII, and I am hopeful that they will improve the sound even more.
However in something we totally agree, Fidata is much more beautiful than Melco.
 
Fidata is exactly the same tablet size as the Lumin, absolutely perfect fit connected together, Lumin on top.

Fly to U.K. for demo?

AQVOX tell me their Ethernet cable is as good as AQ Diamonds at the fraction of the price? I'll get some to try and let you know.

Melco was Mk2

Is this the MKII presentation meeting you were in?

A distributor of ours also carry fidata, so we did compatibility tests with fidata before - but I was not involved so I don't know the details. I'm pleased to find that a Lumin product is featured in their website photos along their own product.

Note that you'll find more information (a new model) from the Japanese language page than from other languages:

(Tip: For any kind of Japanese web site, always check the Japanese language version even if English is available - especially for Japanese hotels.)

Hi Peter.
In my view there is a problem with Fidata and Lumin. Simon has written that it is "unlikely" that he will support Fidata. That leaves us with the obligation to use Twonky ..........

Big improvements with the Vovox Textura Ethernet cables over the others I have to hand. Improvements are smoother more open treble, increased detail, tighter more extended cleaner bass. This is for a 1m length between fidata and Lumin S1. I now need to upgrade my cable between hub and fidata and later between AQVOX switch and hub and the fidata. I'll test out some AQVOX cables as well to compare.

Where is that switch, nonesup?

fidata lists Lumin as compatible, and even has Lumin in their own website photo, so I think there shouldn't be major issues. Actually Lumin merely requires a UPnP server, not necessarily MinimServer - it's just that MinimServer happens to be the best and free UPnP server available.

If there were a noticeable issue between fidata Twonky and Lumin, I think our Japanese distributor would have notified fidata and Lumin to fix any such issues.
 
Well I do not say that Twonky does not work with Lumin, but when they left me to test the MELCO that Twonky had, it worked with Lumin, but no comparison with minimserver.

Any notable benefits of MinimServer over Twonky, or any aspects about Twonky that you don't like?
 
Lacked many covers, I could not find albums by composer, artist ..... the only way to navigate correctly was by folder. It may be that I have 90% of my music in wav and not in flac, and Twonky has problem with metadata in wav.
