Any suggestions for Wiim regarding relevant lines of code?
Wiim ultra and videlink to play nicely with each other and not randomly stopping the main speakers leaving the sub thumping away on its own.. I use Plex for music it's ok for my needs, but the much promised endpoint would be better time spent on than room correction or roomfit etc..
It's funny...
But we always have the choice. Complaining or replacing the reason for frustration.But so true... "Priorities must be ....my priorities"...
that's really, really too common a phrase, a common refrain among the demands we constantly encounter online...
Was that with a calibrated microphone though?I have tried it a few times on different devices, and the end result is always the same, it sounds much better with it turned off.
Personally, I regret the lines of code, the energy spent on decorative functions like FFT or VU meter, just for products with Wiim screens (small, barely readable in listening position and which will always perform worse than a tablet, etc.)....
IMHO constant comparisons (be it between gear or settings) seems to be a common behaviour among audiophiles.
Well snake oil doesn't change the sound at all
Like VU meters
No, but it wouldn't have made any difference if it had been, other than the money wasted on the calibrated microphone.Was that with a calibrated microphone though?
The problem might simply be that we gave the very clumsy impression that a simple solution, "thanks to modernity," can solve complex situations... product aimed at the general public..IMHO constant comparisons (be it between gear or settings) seems to be a common behaviour among audiophiles.
It seems that through this many forget to listen to music, and instead seem to use music to try and listen to the gear. I don't really see how comparing two DACs or two different speakers is any better than comparing two RoomFit or EQ profiles. None of that counts as music enjoyment in my book (at least not in the sense of appreciating its artistic value).
But as with many things in life, an all-or-nothing attitude usually won't bring optimal results.
RoomFit and EQ are absolutely very useful tools, but only if used appropriately - which unfortunately requires a bit of a learning curve at the start.
But in the end they should be viewed as a set-once-and-forget kind of thing, basically a part of initial system setup, together with optimizing placement and subwoofer integration.
Kind of like we should buy speakers once and then just enjoy music.
But I do appreciate this is not trivial, and that many will get poor results in first attempts - especially if using default settings provided by WiiM, and if placement is not optimized first.
Spoken from my own experience, since it took me some months, a few books and a lot of trial and error before I really understood how to do all this correctly and get consistently good results. It was IMHO very much worth it - but then again, I'm much deeper in audio engineering than the average person.
It is why I try to help people with these topics here - to try and make the learning curve at least slightly less steep for others.
It makes a massive difference. I used to get dreadful results using a phone mic or even a 3.5mm jack connected iMM6. I even commented on a concert I had downloaded from dimeadozen to say I thought the bass was far too pronounced. When I used a USB mic the issue disappearedNo, but it wouldn't have made any difference if it had been, other than the money wasted on the calibrated microphone.
That's where the main interest of DSP lies. "Bass"... even if a difference of "20cm " makes a big difference... the benefit will remain relative in any case. ;-)It makes a massive difference.

When used to only flatten bass response I think it is very effective.
. Everything set to zero and it has to sound good. That's what my uncle (guitarist in a beat band in the 60s) taught me in my childhood with my first stereo in the mid-70s 
. That's how it is and that's how it will stay.Indeed... and it's simple...Equalizer, Roomfit? My honor would be tarnished
For sure it's making a difference.No, but it wouldn't have made any difference if it had been, other than the money wasted on the calibrated microphone.
