@markush - The Focus Fidelity measurement module is not available yet. Back in March they advised that it was "several months away", which I would interpret as being maybe some time towards the end of 2021.
I think your Sweet Room question was aimed at @Vivialet , but what I can say is that Sweet Room and the Focus Fidelity convolutions are very different things. Sweet Room allows basic parametric equalisation, where as Focus Fidelity is using 65536 tap length FIR filters, and hence can perform "time domain" phase correction etc. So the Focus Fidelity filters need to be used in the playback software such as Roon, JRiver, HQplayer, plus some others. I guess that it would be possible to run the convolutions in the playback software and have some options to "fine tune" (maybe album specific) in Sweet Room, but this is perhaps an overly complex approach. One thing is for sure, you cannot use the Focus Fidelity convolutions in Sweet Room. (which is a shame, it would be great if you could do this, then have the convolutions available for all inputs, including vinyl etc., but I do not think the Devialet has the required processing power even if Devialet wanted to allow this as a feature?)
@Vivialet - It is strange that you did not get a response from the support email address. Checking back, I did send a couple of basic questions myself, and in each case I received a response the next day.
Anyway - I am pleased to see at least one other person is trying this with a Devialet. The results from room correction will be highly defendant on the specific room and system, and to a degree the listeners ears, so it is great to have another reference point here. Now that your earlier issues seem to be resolved, it will be interesting to hear how you get on with your new "1.5" convolutions.
I had no issues with bass with the earlier version, but I managed to get some listening in over the weekend with my new "1.5" convolutions, and yes, I would say that the bass I am getting is better than ever now, I am very pleased.
