How to use Room Correction?
- Thread starter MCG555
- Start date
I heard the iphone mic is actually pretty good!
Of course not Studio quality…
I am beginning to REALLY like that
I intensially gave the subs more load (increased the amplification and the crossover frequency) - therefore RC corrected the levels down agan, which means now, less load in the low registers for my ProAc D15s! These are great speakers, but what can you expect from a 16cm driver that is responsible for mids AND bass?!
NOW, with this setup, the soundstage is even broader and deeper, with more clarity in both bass and mids! And this even at higher volume!
Fantastic!

Are you using your device as preamp or you have it connected on external dac?

I am using wiim pro plus as a transport and optical out to the internal dac of my Roksan attessa integrated amplifier

I think you will not need. Mics of iOS devices are pretty good.
It needs some time and playing with the different values. But all have been mentioned already…
I was very sceptical at first…

Could be, that the WiiM DAC is „better“ than the one in your Amp! I had an expensive external DAC, that I chose deliberately for its good performance. I was positively amazed about the DAC in WiiM Pro+! I do not use the external DAC anymore…
Question we have as we know their different chipset. Is ess chipset on ultra superior on pro plus akm?
Do you know, is this „connected“ to RC“? Does it work seamlessly?
I cannot say. I don‘t think so! In my view it does not need higher resolution than 192kHz. Also 96kHz is already enough! The differences get extremely small… It is also essential how the chipset is embedded in the overall architecture…
PS: as a comparison: the impact on the soundstage with/without this RC is in my case similar to let’s say going from MP3 to 96kHz High-Res…
So the difference inbetween an excellent DAC implementation and in even better DAC is getting minor…
Back to RC: I will need to check out what my soundstage looks like now with Hi-Res. Until know I just checked with Spotify quality…

I was debating with myself for long time using chord interlinks for the Wiim dac . But in the end I settled with the internal of Attessa due to more weight and impact on bass more sense of space and in general more realistic to me sound . Not big difference but enough
It’s also a matter of personal taste and dependent on your speakers, placement and room…
Up until last night when I saw the green arrow up meaning update is available to download. I wasn’t expecting because my experienced on RC beta was disappointing. So, as usual follow the the direction on app. Wiim made an improvement on algorithm on official RC. Prior to RC correction, music was thick and knew there was midrange bump somewhere but after running RC it corrected the bump and now sound balanced from top to bottom. There was also increased on depth which I truly like. Now, I’m curious if external mic would take measurements to extreme accuracy which I’m willing to buy just to get the maximum performance.I cannot say. I don‘t think so!

Are you suppose to hear a sound when doing RC, I got nothing. ipad, sound is working for video and music.
No sound - no measurement - no room correction.
