Loudness curve?

[TechnoTurtle]

First, hello all. This is my first post here.
My setup:
WiiM Mini
Jbl 305p mk2
These are used on my wfh desk with the speakers either side at approx arms length.

I’ve used the room correction feature on my WiiM Mini to give a custom EQ. I mostly listen at relatively quiet levels and would like to add a “loudness curve” on top of the custom EQ. Ideally this could be variably set so I can set th curve to max when listening very quiet, turning down as the volume increases.

Is there a loudness option on the WiiM, or a method to implement one?

I for one am happy that WiiM have released this dynamic bass/loudness feature that was asked for at least two years ago and I’m not unhappy with how they’ve implemented its configuration. At times, I think WiiM engineers must be bald with the amount of hair pulling that must go on after they release a new feature. Never mind about not pleasing all people all of the time, they must feel it would be nice to please some people some of the time

But I've been suggesting this feature for years too...

Simply adding more functions always requires more thought and skills... and we mustn't forget, in the midst of all this, where the priorities lie( and their potential negative impacts of fonctions)

Wouldn’t setting the gain to 0db disable it - there’s not an option to turn it off as such.

Yes, I would consider it a bug if it didn't.

And I literally meant what I said: I'm fine with dynamic loudness (which for me is clearly the same as the implementation of dynamic bass with the WiiM Sound), as long as it can be disabled.

I might even want to use it myself from time to time, but usually just not.

Some seem to believe that auto loudness was a necessity to get "correct" sound balance. That's plain wrong. It's a convenience feature that can make listening more joyful. Nothing less, nothing more.

Make listening more joyful? I’d agree we need more of that but it seems to be anathema to some. Bah humbug seems to be their mantra

It can be associated with the variable level, or even be a variable itself... or not. It could be a standalone function (just a GEC or PEQ, really), as was the case on many older amplifiers.

But in any case, it should be easily accessible with an on/off switch.
(Since the vast majority of records have a significant bass boost...!!!)
And this should be superimposed on the existing corrections.
