Can you elaborate on dac design , implementation and materials ? As well as the digital section ? Clocks , power supply etc? What about cpu and ram?

Just a proposal . Will there be some kind of trade in program like iPhones . Give previous Wiim and buy the next one ?

Apple adapter compatibility and cal file makes sure the result is the expected with respect to accuracy . So the subsequent corrections will be accurate

What do you mean by “direct inverted” ?

Is this official or beta ? Maybe rc is beta as MQA is still beta in official firmware releases

You need to avoid first reflections . Just bring the speakers outside the room to get them out of the corners.

Ah that makes sense. When you listen at lower volumes.... So you want to keep that downward curve. Just fix to a small degree the peaks around 40, 80 and 120 the bass will get less muddy and become more clean and precise. The overall clarity will improve. Don't make it touch the yellow line it...

Set the house curve algo to only cuts . From 20-250hz and max cut to be 3 db and filters 3 . Check the recommended peq settings insert them to Wiim and tell me if you like it. If you haven’t bought it yet buy it . For very little money you get nice results

I get you. But you need minimum 2 subs to get an even bass, 4 being ideal.

Upgrading speakers and adding subwoofers time alignment and all that stuff can be very expensive especially when you already have good speakers and you want to do a meaningful upgrade .So the streamer dac can play a role in sound quality (source is always important )and be a much cheaper upgrade...

Is your name Russel or Teapot? :D

if it sounds great and that greatness corresponds to correctness that is +-3db degrees radius on a downward slope of -10 to -12db, then wiim should have a way to suggest that no correction is required to be performed. However as I said wiim maybe has a problem with how it applies compensation to...

80 hz is a usual suspect for room modes that can exaggerate the magnitude. Moreover you can have resonance from your speaker itself or have them too close to the wall or corner . On top of that it maybe the exaggerated compensation applied from the wiim starts from 80hz (what I quoted was from...

I see a possible problem with the compensation applied when recording a measurement. If compensation is too high in db the sum of actual captured low frequencies + db boost of compensation would result in a measured bass level that would require more correction - but wrongly. Therefore the thin...

How is upsampling going ?! Anybody tested it in beta ? Do you find differences in sound quality ?
