Turn off?!? This is a network device that should be on 24/7. By design cannot be turned off.

Why is there an off button on the remote?

It is not a device "power off" button. Just putting it in standby and on the Ultra turns the screen off.

I guess it is simply the design of this multi branded remotes.

It puts the device into standby mode immediately and - let's not split hairs here - that's probably exactly what @Lomax_hjs has been asking for, just as a function of the app.

If they didn't and really asked for a power down routine, they may speak for themselves.

Yes, in low frequencies the two methods will give quite similar, but not 100% identical measurement results. The difference can be larger or smaller, depending on how big of an area you cover when doing MMM.

Here's a comparison of both methods in my system (after EQ):
View attachment 21877

As you can see, the differences in the low frequencies (<400H, i.e. where I do room EQ) are mostly in the 1-2dB range. There's more difference at higher frequencies, where MMM averages-out the (audibly benign) comb filtering caused by reflections.


As you can see above, the bass range correction results translate reasonably well between the two methods, so it is fine to use either method in principle.
However, evaluating MMM correction results with MMM would give a better match to the "predicted" curve shown earlier when the filters are calculated.
Personally I prefer to use the same measurement method when building correction filters and evaluating the results.

Perhaps I should clarify a bit - the two measurements I show in the quoted post were done when using the exact same set of EQ correction filters, just that one result measurement/evaluation attempt was with a sweep measurement in REW and the other with MMM.

So this just shows that both MMM and sweep are comparable for RC result evaluation.

On the other hand, @slartibartfast apparently used MMM both times in REW to evaluate results of WHA RC filters calculated with a single sweep, compared to those calculated with MMM.
This indicates that the room correction result varies a bit depending on the measurement method chosen (which is my experience as well, and why I typically prefer MMM).

@slartibartfast Do you get the same kind of differences with multiple RC attempts of either type? I'd expect MMM to be relatively stable between takes, but single point sweep not neccesarily as much.

The last what I wanted was to blame the infallible WiiM. But these remotes look one as the other..

We do know that WiiM currently perform the swept sine measurement in the MLP and the MMM measurement. What we do not know is how they are using both measurements to come up with the correction filters.

Different weighting? Maybe depending on frequency range? Possibly even depending on the current RC settings? Could be I'm overthinking this and they are just averaging both results, but we don't know for sure.

I didn't assume you were blaming anybody. I just wanted to make clear (for those who don't have the physical remote) that the button actually does something. It's not like an appendix WiiM couldn't get rid of.

There is a new app version 3.2.3 now available.

MMM is very repeatable. You can see the RTA stabilising while performing the measurement.
I think if I left the mic in exactly the same location multiple sweeps would also be repeatable, I always got very similar results when trying the multiple measurement option compared to a single sweep.
With regard to your similar measurements when comparing sweep to MMM in REW it makes you wonder why WiiM feel the need to first perform a sweep followed by MMM.

Looks like only fixing some Qobuz issues?

We didn't get the needed fixes to the lock-screen, as else expected.

What about item No 4?

We did get an option to “Allow playback control on Lock Screen”

I can't even control the volume.

I can disable the lock-screen but didn't get a lock-screen that works.

So only a fix that removed what was not working.

It was a feature that was requested so it’s at least a step forward in that respect.

Where is that option?

 

[Skull]

Under app settings


Sorry preferences

Why is there an off button on the remote?

It shuts off everything attached to the 12V trigger, which is pretty important because some things could be drawing quite a bit of power when on.
