Yeah but that's the tree in the forest question. Plus I can partly answer it because I once spent a sh1t ton of cash on a system, and then plonked a drum kit in the same room. Guess what, not even close no matter what track. At that point I realised it was all futile. I sold my stupidly expensive system and started to just enjoy the music, I mean I seriously don't give a fk anymore about what hifi is supposed to be! I enjoy a wide bandwidth, highly dynamic low distortion reproduction if that helps? . Fwiw I can record my own tracks that sound great, and some that sound utterly crap too, so the studio is not necessarily some kind of aural utopia.

That's arguably a definition of perverse thoughI enjoy a number of things that are incorrect.
Perverted, not perverse.That's arguably a definition of perverse though

Room Correction is now on my Pixel 7 using my Wiim Pro Plus. I'll try it today.
Most people think of both “perverse” and “perverted” only in contexts having to do with desire, but “perverse” properly has the function of signifying “stubborn,” “wrong-headed
well pointed sir
I'm not sure about most people, but they are clearly differentiated in my mind and dictionary, ie I meant what I said.
I have always assumed thus:
Perversion is a form of human behavior which deviates from what is considered to be orthodox or normal, marked by a disposition to oppose and contradict
perverted: showing or appealing to bizarre or deviant tastes, usually of sexual connotation.
I was being polite and didn't wish to presume.

Right now you can only use it manually with external measurements. Automatic RC doesn't make use of this feature, yet.
For those of us using e.g. REW it's a very powerful tool, already.

Really? For which devices. Are you sure they didn't mean purely for PEQ and not room correction? If so that isn't new.
Which ASR thread/post?
None, several moments of confusion, no change in that it's not functional in RC
KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?
Is Wiim better than ever solo for streaming? I like my ever solo.... Its like asking if IOS is better than Android. For some yes, for others no.

Given how the RC has been misunderstood and misapplied thus far I'm not hopeful this will be very helpful for most. As Floyd Toole was quoted somewhere here, separate measurement and EQ doesn't reflect either the way our ears hear or how L/R sound waves interact in a room. If used at all it has to be blended with measurements (preferably multiple) utilizing both speakers IRL. More sophisticated EQ tools do this but seems like WiiM is just adding stuff willy nilly.
Sorry, don't see why that's relevant to WiiM per channel RC which is what I thought was being discussed. No matter, reading that fills my daily quota of ASR postsKEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

WiiM now have got Room Correction upgrade
Just heard that WiiM pro (and onwards, hopefully) have now got room correction upgrade. Would be gear if WiiM Pro & Pro Plus users can check it out and tell how it goes.

This is the original PP Firmware update post:
What's New:
It was confusing because that feature was also there in the previous firmware update, so assumptions that this feature was "improved" and available in RC. Anyway, after that flurry of excitement followed by disappointment I'm going to do what we brits do best in a mild crisis, and have a cup of tea.
What's New:
- Per-Channel EQ: Set parametric EQ settings for left and right channels individually (requires app version 2.10.7 or later).

sorry if this has been asked before but how is the EQ function on the Wiim Amp compensating for positive (boosted) frequencies?
In my experience of other EQ functions, if you boost any frequency, you must lower the pre-gain by the same amount in order to not clip / distort the output.
I am not hearing any volume decrease when I boost a frequency in the Wiim app, so is it just allowing clipping or is there some hidden headroom?

Very good question and the reason I've also limited boosting frequencies. I can modify headroom in Roon when streaming using WiiM as an endpoint but that doesn't help with CD or vinyl playback through the WiiM.
