It uses the smoothed measurements to generate the PEQ filters so it will make a difference.

How about you try yourself instead bashing it off? Wiim did not spend their time if it’s waste of time for everyone.
Hey friend! So you’re right 1/3 is the smoothest of the graph and 1/12 has many tiny ripples. Which one sound best? It’s personal taste and there’s no right or wrong answer.
......
I was reacting to that....
when is it really?
such very strong smoothing would have little meaning before the correction calculations it seems to me... so that wiim clarifies the subject would be welcome

Hi @slartibartfast
Thanks to you and to @Bismarck I learnt new things. As I am far from being an expert in RC, indeed this is the first time I have tried this EQ, I was not familiar with Smoothing and its effects. It is never too late.
Thx 
there is confusion about the use of smoothing...and its interest or not in the rc approach or...just display....Hi @slartibartfast

It isn't just display. The RC uses the smoothed curve to calculate the correction.

Are you quite sure about that, @slartibartfast? I cannot get my head around it. Regrettably I cannot do any tests myself now, only refer to REW measurements where smoothing is applied for display.
I did run both 1/3 and 1/12. The graph in 1/3 is smooth with few ripples. The 1/12 is like saw tooth ripples all over the place.

You should be able to see it in the curves produced during the room correction process. Android doesn't have the smoothing choice yet so I can't try myself. If it isn't using the smoothed curve for correction what else can it use?
With REW you still need to generate room correction filters from the frequency response. You do that by choosing the amount of smoothing before trying to match the target curve.

@Smartplug That is to be expected in a 1/3 vs 1/12 dB/oct smoothed display.
Do you have to do a new measurement to show 1/12 dB/oct?
@slartibartfast I am not able to do any tests this week (and my measuring tool is an iPhone12Mini).
@RyanWithWiim I think an official measurements «manual» could be helpful. What you have is way past the playtoy stage, seriously.

Yes individual measurements on each octave. I would suggest run each octave and save them with different name. From there, give a listening test and see which one sound better to you. Everyone is different.

Each octave? You mean each channel?

I think he means each smoothing setting.

I have this latest version and I can find any smooth settings on the app using my WiiM Ultra.

Android or iOS?
Each octave on stereo rc. I haven’t tried independent rc yet.
If you're on Android, then your lying. You cannot find any smoothing settings then.
"Octave" is not really an appropriate term to refer to different smoothing options, in case that's what you meant to say.
On rc setting, there is this drop down that you choose and from there you run rc like the way you run before. Each choice need to run rc.
