I found a Reddit post where someone suggested turning the volume down to the minimum then turn on and off the volume limiter in the Audeze app and then turn up the volume. People in the thread posted they had success with this.

I use Tidal. I did try disabling volume normalisation and it didn't do anything.

I have a pair of Maxwells. I bought them to use as a headset for Teams calls and I’ve found them to great. I was hoping to use them for listening to music at work but I’ve found the volume to be too low. I’d listen to them at max volume at I didn’t find them to be particularly loud. This is over...

I'm interested in this. If it can do 8 channels in and out I would immediately buy a few......

I only use an external dac with the Wiim Ultra when I need balanced outputs, otherwise I use the rca line out. It states in the Wiim Ultra ASR review that “The WiiM Ultra easily makes way for itself among our very competent DACs, obviating the need to use an external one”.

I have an AVR for movies and Wiim Ultra for music in my setup. I use a Bobwire RCA1 and it automatically switches between the two and they share two Fosi V3 monos. This is for my left and right speakers and two subwoofers.

The A16 Realiser is on my radar as some form of end game for home theater with headphones. There's a website (https://3dsoundshop.com/) where you can buy custom PRIRs for it. I am going to attempt a much cheaper version using a Raspberry Pi first with Pipewire.

10 band parametric EQ btw on the subwoofers as a summed signal. I use the True Target app and a UMIK1 to do moving mic measurements then I export in a MultEQX format and import the text files into the Windows Audessey MultEQX app.

I’ve recently bought 2 3000 Micros and I find the bass output more than good enough. I am using them in a small room and I’ve used Magic Beans to EQ them on a Marantz AVR. I’ve got a UMIK1, I can do some REW measurements this weekend. Some of my movie test tracks are the opening club scene in...

I've just ordered a Windows 11 Ryzen mini pc. I'm going to use Jriver for movies and apply EQ and dsp.

I've been doing a lot of research recently about trying to use a raspberry pi and CamillaDSP or Pipewire for EQ for home theater and music, including virtual surround for headphones. I'm coming around to the same opinion, a windows pc with something like Jriver is a lot easier and cheaper. In...

Thanks posting! My ideal situation would be for WiiM to release 5.1 output via usb. I interpret this as WiiM eventually releasing an AVR which is a good way of taking my money.

Thanks, I'm still learning about dac clock and drift etc.

I was testing out the WiiM Ultra usb output into a Raspberry Pi as a usb gadget with CamillaDSP. Then usb out of the Pi into a Fosi ZD3. It worked well, I even got bitrate switching working, the ZD3 was reporting it. If I remember correctly, CamillaDSP has more functionality than a Minidsp such...

This looks awesome and I think I will end up copying this. What are the thermals like for this setup?

I only have Audessey as a comparison which I know isn’t as good as Dirac. Magic Beans EQ sounds a lot better than Audessey. For me, it wasn’t close, the bass sounds awesome at all volume levels with a parametric EQ.

I expect this type of complex solution to sound better than an Anthem and Marantz AV10. If I remember correctly, the Anthem processors only have Anthem Room Correction and not a parametric EQ. The Marantz has MultiEQX which can be hacked to apply a parametric EQ which I believe is 10 band. This...

Thanks for the response and sharing your experience with Mitch’s convolution filters. I emailed him earlier today. I’m trying to do the same thing, I want better performance than an AVR. I personally think Blustream+MacMini+HLConvolver+OktoPro8 is better than any processor or AVR. On Mitch’s...

Thinking about it, it can be done on an Apple TV using Infuse. But I'd then lose the ability to easily play all the movies I've bought through Apple TV+.

I've also been exploring the Blue stream but I discounted it and was going to use use a Windows 11 video player, do all dsp in windows and then output to multichannel DACs. @PGAMiami, after reading your post, to me it seems you are planning HDMI sources to Blustream SW42DA then Dante to a Mac...
