Room correction

[petrik]

I think some time ago they try to implement it and maybe failed or think it does not worth it, because when I bought my phantom on the support site they talk about implementing this feature in the future and then someday it disappeared.

Yeah, true, I remember that.

I have spend a lot of effort doing room correction during this year. I have asked many things from Devialet support regarding the room correction because I got problems getting proper measurements when using Umik-1 microphone, AIR, USB, ASIO4ALL and Devialet. It didn't work and results were horrible in both amplitude and time domain. I had to order a new microphone and an external soundcard to get good measurements with Devialet. Devialet support was surprisingly interested in this all because they had never heard someone doing this. They had no idea whether it even could work. They asked for more details and I actually wrote them a 7 page long summary of my findings. The summary contained just basic things like how did I measure, measurement equipment, measurement results in amplitude and time domain, and listening results of the convolution filters. Guess what they replied to me after that - nothing, nothing at all.

Good news is that the convolution filters sound great and I can use them with Roon. The only problem being that I cannot run these convolution filters inside Devialet. I would like to use them also with other inputs of the Devialet like turntable and AV-setup. I got a "nice" +24 db room mode on 40 hz so obviously music sounds horrible without any room correction. Even movies and games sound ridiculous without room correction when having this kind of room mode. I suppose once you get excellent results with room correction, there is no way going back.
