Latest Firmware Update - Issue using EQ Settings.

[IdrisRoberts]

WiiM Pro connected to External Dac (Coax) Just completed latest firmware update, checked out parametric EQ function.
when listening to either Qobuz or music on my Synology NAS, if I ‘Switch’ on equaliser settings, whatever music is playing stops.
I then have to go back to source and start play again. This also occurs if I switch between the parametric and normal equaliser settings. Never had a problem before firmware update. Glitch in firmware? Or am I missing something here?

If you are experiencing this issue, please submit a ticket using the feedback section in the WiiM Home app.

Try factory reset which often solve problem. If not send wiim your log so they check it.

Factory reset carried out - No different. Ticket raised and apparently Support are aware of the problem and are looking into it.

WiiM have acknowledged an issue around switching between GEQ and PEQ and their engineers are looking into it.

 

[WiiM Support]

Hi Team,

Switching from GEQ to PEQ will stop your music due to the constraints of enabling PEQ. We're working on a more seamless experience for future updates. Please stay tuned!

Thanks everyone.

Working great.

I could do with a few more bands though

But this will good. To be honest Roon was crashing every 20 mins or so and it's not always convinient to be using my laptop for it.

I might even concider cancelling Roon now.

This is a (close-ish) copy of my Roon settings

As a workaround I use the parametric eq in Roon.

It is not perfect however - every eq adjustment causes a short dropout of music (annoying)

I played a youtube "tone sweep" and identified a loud "node" @ 40hz

I dipped this at a narrow notch until the tone sweep sounded even.

I then added other eq to taste (basically some extra high frequency boosting to compensate for my age related hearing loss)

I am happy now.

But Roon requires my laptop to be on and a paid subscription. I can recommend it. it works with Qobuz and I think Tidal. It's user interface or "wrapper" for Qobuz looks better than Qobuz and has a lot of interesting extra data / info about artists etc.

OK carry on and good luck with the Wimm eq. (It would be good to be able to not use Roon & my laptop) when I chose so I will follow this threads progress.

Roons peq is far superior to what ever the Wiim can do. It’s all done in 64bit, has far more accuracy and control and also way more bands to play with. It so incorporates proper headroom management where the wiims is a bit of a guessing game if your clipping or not and how much to apply.

 

[CrystalGipsy]

Does Roon calculate the required headroom based on the PEQ setup?

It has a clipping indicator to show you it is, you adjust down until it doesn’t. Nothing can really auto compensate as it would require a play through first to see which samples are pushed over for each track which isn’t really practical. It’s not just gains in peq settings that can cause clipping this is what so many don’t seem to understand any manipulation can cause intersample issues more so with any recording that is heavily compressed and close to 0dB without any DSP.

 

[CrystalGipsy]

"far superior", "far more accuracy" - in what aspects exactly?

You can add more bands to get greater accuracy in the curve adjustments, you can also reduce overall headroom to lower the curve below 0dB if your applying gains, whilst this won’t eliminate clipping it’s a good start.

All DSP is applied in 64bit, any file is upsampled to 64bit before any processing is applied this give it a lot more headroom and precision. Believe me I have compared the two and Roon is far better at it and the results sound a lot better. Also being able to use its convolution engine and use this instead of peq is even better as you can also compensate for phase alignment issues which can and does make a whole world of a difference but that’s way outside what the Wiim hardware can do so not a fair comparison.

 

[onlyoneme]

Not really you can lower the master volume with no real indication of how much it’s varying it by. Someone posted on here to say 95% is -3dB how accurate that is I can’t say, but you can’t really fine adjust. Roon you have a slider next to the waveform to move the waveform up/down to under 0db.

The volume limiter is quite precise with its 3dB attenuation for every 5% step. Is 0.6 dB single step precision not enough for fine adjustments? I've no idea why to use a master volume instead in case of applying the headroom for PEQ purposes.

Sounds like a bug - best raise a ticket.

WiiM Pro podłączony do zewnętrznego przetwornika Dac (Coax) Właśnie ukończyłem najnowszą aktualizację oprogramowania, sprawdziłem funkcję parametrycznego korektora.
podczas słuchania Qobuz lub muzyki na moim serwerze Synology NAS, jeśli „włączę” ustawienia korektora, odtwarzana muzyka zatrzymuje się.
Muszę wtedy wrócić do źródła i zacząć grać od nowa. Dzieje się tak również w przypadku przełączania między ustawieniami korektora parametrycznego i normalnego. Nigdy nie miałem problemów przed aktualizacją oprogramowania. Błąd w oprogramowaniu? A może czegoś mi tu brakuje?

Mam to samo co Ty...

WiiM Pro connecté à un DAC externe (coaxial) Je viens de terminer la dernière mise à jour du firmware, j'ai vérifié la fonction d'égalisation paramétrique.
Lorsque j'écoute Qobuz ou de la musique sur mon NAS Synology, si j'active les paramètres de l'égaliseur, la musique en cours de lecture s'arrête.
Je dois ensuite revenir à la source et recommencer la lecture. Cela se produit également si je bascule entre les paramètres d'égalisation paramétriques et normaux. Jamais eu de problème avant la mise à jour du firmware. Un bug dans le firmware ? Ou est-ce que j'ai raté quelque chose ici ?

Bonjour j ai le même problème, je l avais avant la mise à jour, malheureusement la mise a jour n a rien changer pour moi

Same issue here and PEQ doesn’t work at all.

 

[Malkie]

My PEQ works but now music randomly stops and goes the the next song!! Now I have no music. I wish I could revert back to previous version!
I don't think this update was ready to be sent to general public yet.

No problem, thanks for rectifying it
