Hello, I very much appreciate what roomfit can do and, to take it to the next level, I would suggest implementing a linear phase option. This would limit the phase distortion introduced by each filter. Also, it would be nice, when performing roomfit on a limited frequency range, to be able to limit the number of eq filters. Right now all available filters are used regardless of how narrow the frequency range is.
Thank you for your great work

Welcome to the community! :)
to take it to the next level, I would suggest implementing a linear phase option. This would limit the phase distortion introduced by each filter.
Note that using minimum-phase filters to shape a response doesn't necessarily introduce phase distortion - on the contrary, if you use a minimum-phase correction filter to 'fix' a minimum-phase frequency response peak you will actually fix both the magnitude and the phase errors. This is because a minimum-phase response error implies both a magnitude and phase deviation - so a complementary minimum-phase correction filter counteracts both.

On the other hand, using a linear-phase filter in this case would only correct the magnitude response error, while keeping the original phase response error untouched.

Many of the in-room low-frequency response resonances should be close to minimum-phase, so use of IIR minimum-phase filters makes sense to me in a general sense. EQ (including RoomFit) is anyway not well suited to fix non-minimum phase response deviations (e.g. nulls caused by SBIR or an out-of-phase subwoofer). Those should be resolved by other means (optimal placement, acoustical treatment, subwoofer integration, etc...).

On the other hand, having more options in RoomFit for advanced users wouldn't hurt, I guess!

Also, it would be nice, when performing roomfit on a limited frequency range, to be able to limit the number of eq filters. Right now all available filters are used regardless of how narrow the frequency range is.
This is a very good suggestion, IMHO!
It would also be great if RoomFit could automatically assign less filter bands, depending on the need. I fully agree that assigning all of the RoomFit PEQ bands in cases where most of them are doing minimal work doesn't make sense.
 
Thanks for the comment. What I mean is being able to do in roomfit what can be done in Rephase, I. E. Generating a correction for both amplitude and phase. Results are stellar!

RePhase has a lot more detailed options, indeed. I guess what you'd like then is the ability to use FIR filters - perhaps by importing an impulse response generated in RePhase?
 
Yes, that is what I would like to do. Having FIR filters creation in wiim would be much simpler than having to work on rephase, of course

My suggestion would be to open a ticket with your request to WiiM directly via the WiiM Home app > More > Feedback function.
