Thanks for the suggestion. I try not to introduce a subwoofer, getting 2 speakers right is hard enough, now I have to get all 3 right I’ll find time to play with the positioning.
I had been toggling between 3 and 5 filters and I am leaning towards the former. What I had discovered from the Umik-1/REW exercise is less is more. The fewer filters I used, the more focused it gets and the more natural it sounds. No Sweet Room is most neutral but had give and take to strike a balance.

Strangely, it seems that the 5th filter is not being utilised, with SAM enabled but set at 0%.
Hi @tategoi
Are You using Roon? Did You try DSD in Roon wit full convolution filter?
You will see what is possible. That's very close to Dirac.
Sweet room is a ticket to digital correction.

jvoki, where is the DSP carried out when you do it in Roon? On the computer or in the Devialet?
Kind regards,

On whatever computer is running Roon. It's a Roon function, not a Devialet function. Because of that it only works for music played by Roon.

Roon is computer side, but for understanding how DSP work, and it doesn't matter if it's on a computer, dsp filter or Devialet. It is a set of several options and to understand what a graphical filter looks like assembled with a parameter from a measurement.

No. Sweet Room is my first attempt at room correction. As I listen mostly to vinyls, followed by CDs, DSD in Roon doesn’t really serve my needs.

It does require a lot of knowledge, enthusiastic amateur level for sure. Most DSP has the ability to make things much worse, there is nothing in what they have given us to stop you doing this, you really are on your own, here are the rules I've been following.
1) Based on measurements made at the listening position limit corrections you make to below 500Hz. If your room is large use a lower frequency.
2) Only make adjustments above the cut off freq in 1) based on anechoic measurements, and these should probably only be broad (low Q) tonal shifts.
3) Make extensive use of the ability to switch between the 2 configs whilst listening, find a minimal set of filters that do seem to address the worse problems, then explore adding other 'fixes' on top of them driven by what you prefer. The instant switching between the 2 filter banks is the killer feature of SR, most other approaches (e.g. Roon) take a second or so to switch, which is hard for the brain to follow, so make good use of this, and let your preference decide which is best, but don't rush the decision.
