Are you using Wiim Pro? If it has a Parametric EQ (PEQ) then you can just enter the REW-generated EQ filters thereIs there anyway to use REW with Wiim? Trying to figure out how to incorporate room EQ solution with Wiim and just can’t wrap my brain around how it could be done, but maybe I am over complicating
Thanks
Thanks … yes, Pro. And it has EQ, but only used with analog output on the Wiim, which is garbage. I am using it as a digital transport only to an external DAC. So that won’t work.Are you using Wiim Pro? If it has a Parametric EQ (PEQ) then you can just enter the REW-generated EQ filters there
It doesn't, at least not yet. It's on the roadmap.If it has a Parametric EQ (PEQ)
Well, in that case I guess this is not going to be possibleIt doesn't, at least not yet. It's on the roadmap.
If you want to use REW-generated filters in any device you will need either PEQ capability (ideally per channel) or convolution capability (so you could load the convolution wav file generated in REW into the convolution engine of the device).Is there anyway to use REW with Wiim?

Thanks but … Maybe it does but I don’t want to use the onboard EQ, I want to use REW. There is obviously no way to use REW with Wiim, at least not today. Likely going to return the Wiim, not a fan of the UI anyway, very quirky … Wiim has some work to do hereDon't know about the Pro version, but the onboard GEQ works fine with optical-out on the Mini.
Thank you, you are indeed correct sir, great feedback. But bummer Wiim cannot use REW, major miss for Wiim. Looks like the Wiim is going back, not a fan of the UI anyway. The miniDSP with Dirac is looking very nice, but its pricey#1 WiiM's internal DAC (analogue output) ... wait for PEQ to be implemented...
#2 WiiM as a transport... you'll need a DAC (or other downstream device) that accepts REW's filters. I use the miniDSP Flex.
No simple/cheap option I think.
#3 Discard the WiiM and stream from PC or Raspberry Pi or equivalent.

I know, it ain’t gonna happen, ya get what ya pay for … I wrongly assumed I could integrate some type of room EQ with the Wiim, it is simply not possible. Disappointing, but to be fair to Wiim, only so much they can do at that price point.If you want the above functionality with a WiiM price, well, good luck with that..
I have a MacBook, same comment? And how? Via REW? But then what to do for a wireless connection? I want to have room EQ plus network streamer that I can control via WiFi. How to do this exactly? Sorry if very broad questions.Best would really be just to use a PC as the source - then you will have endless DSP capabilities....

You use REW to measure your speakers and generate EQ settings based on those measurements.Thanks but … Maybe it does but I don’t want to use the onboard EQ, I want to use REW.
Yes, understood … I don’t want to EQ the music, only I am interested in applying room EQ and trying to find a device that allows the use of the room EQ AND ability to control the music via wireless connection (and not Bluetooth or Airplay as that is not best quality). Wiim does what I want in that regard, but sadly does not allow application of REW EQ. MiniDSP does it, but then it has Dirac which defeats purpose of REW to begin with.You use REW to measure your speakers and generate EQ settings based on those measurements.
You then use other software or hardware solutions (WiiM/RME ADI-2/ Qudelix 5K/miniDSP/SoundSource/Equalizer APO/...) to apply those EQ settings to your music.
REW is not the software that you use to EQ your music.
Regarding wireless and streaming please refer to Jriver and Roon manuals but I am quite sure that will be possible too
