Sweet Room

[yanc]

Want to collect some feedback who has done the Sweet room on their Devialet and how do you think about it? Do you think it makes your music sound better significantly?

Unfortunately most living rooms have a sound response (characteristic, signature, identity, call it whatever) that is not suitable for hifi playback. Music may appear bloated, thin or muddy, no matter how good the kit is.

One way to correct this is with room treatments (expensive, and arguably not very pleasing aesthetically).
Another way is to try different speakers. (For instance floor standers that go below the 50Hz will reveal those room issues a lot more than speakers on stands).

Sweet Room is like a super flexible equaliser with an infinite number of sliders. Plus the ability to change the "spread" of the effect each slider has.

Sounds promising, and can work if you have a lot of time and patience (plus the required technical skill).

…for instance adjusting the value for one frequency band, requires, taking the SD card off the amp, plugging it on a computer, saving the new text file, placing the card back on to the Dev, restarting, and re-measuring.
An iterative process that can (IMO)  take the fun out of music listening.[/font][/size]

I am not a studio engineer expert by any stretch … so these are just my impressions having spent quite a bit of energy on the subject…
