EQ for Sennheiser HD650 and Meze 99 classic

[Fralle]

These are the only two headphones I will be using with the Wiim. Any PEQ close to the Harman curve you could recommend?

See https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/headphone-eq-app-for-ultra.3691/

Also, try a group search for headphone PEQ - I recall there are a few sources of recommended EQ for particular headphones - I just can't recall/find them at the moment

Thank you so much for this!

Speaking of headphones I see that Wiim recommends setting it to 1 Vrm for headphones and 2 Vrm for speaker. But I see no way of saving a setting for headphones only. Does this mean I'll have to go into settings and change Vrm everyt time I switch between headphones and speakers?

Unfortunately, yes, or just stick with one for both.
There are a few per input settings, but no per output settings.

That is a future update request for sure!

That is a future update request for sure!

A few different suggestions have already been made,
We'll have to wait and see what, if anything, Wiim do to address this 'shortcoming'.

 

[Fralle]

When following the instructions for EQ I see this:

"You can use filters 1-5 or 1-10. Apply preamp of -5.7 dB or -5.7 dB, respectively."

Not really sure what this means or where I can do these settings. Can anyone explain?

 

[Burnside]

In your wiim’s peq settings page , it’s suggesting you could put all ten peq values in, or you could just use the first five and turn 6-10 off (under the down arrow where you select filter type). Re preamp, you could enter that under the pre gain for your input source. I’d try each option and see what you prefer, and again, with pre gain on or off (I.e. 0)

Thank you for being so helpful my friend!

Trying to use Oratory1990s setting within the app but I am not sure what I should be looking at for reference to see if it is right. Guessing it's the EQ curve total to the right thats the goal right?

When I try to put in 0.7 Q factor it reads 0.70 and 1.1 reads 1.10. Also I am not sure what bw means.

Total newbie and I am trying to learn, sorry.

0.7 and 1.1 are the same as 0.70 and 1.10. Just copy the settings from Oratory into WiiM's PEQ.

BW stands for bandwidth. As this is not available to adjust in the WiiM's PEQ settings I ignored it.

Feel free to slightly change the Oratory settings (one at a time, then listen again). If you prefer the changed sound keep it.

All that matters is the sound you like most.
