The slight difference can be expensive and could reach quadruple.

A couple of oddities I noticed: when switching outputs between line and coax, the input would revert to WiFi. That’s probably the default since it’s a streamer.
Also, when I moved my subwoofer from the RME’s rca out to the Ultra’s sub out and re did room correction, I ended up with very different curves and corrections, including level. I’m sure it’s something I’ve done, but I can’t really think what it is. The first is the new one and the second pic is what I had before. I’m assuming the hole around the xo frequency is a phase issue, but flipping the phase had minimal effect. The bigger issue to me at this point is how much eq was applied around 1k before, but not now
Yes my placement and room sucks!

Indeed and I’m never too interested in chasing it.
The new wiim app will run test tone twice and can have different result.A couple of oddities I noticed: when switching outputs between line and coax, the input would revert to WiFi. That’s probably the default since it’s a streamer.

I’m on verge to buy rme but upon reading your subjective made me push back. Rme cost 1200 vs 320 on ultra. Now, if it’s give me additional 50 percent then I think it justify its price. I know rme include plethora of adjustments and customization which what you’re probably paying extra.
What do you mean?
There was a new app release today. It does 2 times test tone.
I fixed the hole in the sub xo. I still had a xo set on the plate amp. Once set to LFE, all is good. But look at the room mode that it decides not to eq! It uses up all the peq slots with little high q adjustments and ignores the largest problem in the entire response.
I ran it a few times with the same result each time. Does anyone know of a way to limit the filter’s Q to say less than 6?

I thought it just allows you to check the result of the room correction by repeating the measurement with the the RC EQ turned on.
Yes but when it say compare to magenta that color wasn’t visible to view other than going back to previous screen. Do you point the iPhone mic to speaker or pointing at you?

I only have Android but there is a microphone at both ends of the phone and they do seem to give different results.

I don’t think any DAC will be 50% better unless one is broken! The Dac in the Ultra is sufficient for most I think and probably an upgrade for many with entry level DACS. The reason to get the RME would be features and headphone amp I’d think. IMO, it’s a bit better, more refined perhaps, but it wouldn’t be worth buying just for that to me.
Should I hear it twice? I hear a short high frequency tone, hen a short break and then a full sweep. Same thing as yesterday.
it was like before but with added evaluation. Yes, high frequency sweep.
I looked to see what difference the orientation of the built-in microphone made, as measured by a test sweep of the WiiM RC.
<RC test sweep file>
<FFT Window length:8192>
(These were measured while adjusting the subwoofer, so the data is only 20-500hz.)
1. Microphone is pointed at the speaker.
2. Microphone pointed backward.
3. Microphone pointed up.
4. Cover is removed and microphone is pointing toward the speaker.
Needless to say, there is little effect of microphone position in the low frequency range.
