EQ and Room Correction at the same time? (Wiim Amp Pro)

[StanD]

Hi,
This support article claims (in the section 'How Room Correction and EQ Work Together' at the bottom) that it is possible to use EQ and room correction together. But it doesn't seem to be the case, because what Room Correction does is it creates a preset for Parametric Equalizer and applies it. Now, if I select some preset in a normal equalizer (e.g, 'Rock' or 'R&B'), it will disable the parametric equalizer. If you go and re-enable it, this will disable the normal equalizer with whatever preset you just selected. So, how to use both EQ preset (such as 'Rock') and apply room correction on top of it?
Thanks.

Despite promises from WiiM this feature hasn't been released for any products apart from the Ultra and maybe the new Amp Ultra and is possibly still in beta for those.

Will it be available for the Amps as well?

Yeah, I think the new functionality should become available for all devices for which it would make sense, certainly for the Amps. If Wiim Amp is used with an external device (e.g. music player connected via optical input), you mostly need Room Correction feature, as in this case EQ ideally should be configured on that device, but if you run one of those streaming services inside Wiim Amp, then you need both EQ and Room Correction. Today I found out that if I run Spotify on iPad or iPhone and connect it to Wiim Amp, it loses the equalizer which it normally has on iOS. Thus I started looking into how to get the equalizer functionality back (and keep room correction)..

That is because the iPad or iPhone is just a controller and the music are streaming directly to the WiiM from the Spotify service. This is contrary to using AirPlay where the streaming goes through the phone/pad and can use the device EQ.

I don’t believe that the EQ setting on an iPhone/iPad is applied to an airplay stream, just to audio played on the iDevice.

I just tested & can confirm this is the case.
