Another MiniDSP-won't-import-REW EQ files

[klettermann]

I'm exporting REW EQ file to MiniDSP. REW seems to do this OK, though only in .txt format. The REW EQ setting point to MiniDSP and 2X4HD per MiniDSP manual. Yet the MiniDSP console only seems to accept .xml files. I'm apparently not the only one that hqs had this problem. All my software is new however, and does't quite correspond to older versions where others have had the same issue. Any ideas? It's making me nuts! Thanks in advance and cheers,

Eventually I figured it out. The REW filter button nomenclature doesn't entirely line up with the MiniDSP program. I eventually figured it out by trying all 3 of the export/save commands and looking at the respective files. For sure, REW's nomenclature is confusing, since "Save filter coefficients to file" might be much more clearly described as "Export biquad file" or something similar. I never recall even seeing 'biquad file' anyplace and I'm way to ignorant to know that [filter coefficients file] = [biquad file]. Silly me! Maybe this will spare somebody else the same thing. Cheers,
