![]() ![]() What is TIDAL Connect and the benefits of it on Volumio? ![]() If you haven’t heard of TIDAL Connect before, let us tell you the advantages you can get with the TIDAL Connect feature in Volumio. TIDAL Connect superb new feature is now available for MyVolumio users, giving a seamless experience to listen to your favorite music from the comfort of the TIDAL app. Whether you prefer to manage their TIDAL music content via their app or the Volumio UI, now the choice exists. With TIDAL Connect, we want to give our community what matters most: more options and more comfort. Over two years ago we incorporated the TIDAL Native Integration feature on Volumio, giving the chance for users to interact with TIDAL directly for the Volumio UI. And today, a new feature that will provide Volumio and TIDAL users the finest music experience is finally released on Volumio: TIDAL Connect. This vision resulted in a great partnership with the leader in hifi music streaming, TIDAL. To continue this purpose, we focus on two main things for Volumio to provide the highest sound quality possible and in the most convenient and ease of use approach. I've read elsewhere on here that it's recommended to get the UMIK directly connected to AL via the advanced menu.Since the beginning, Volumio’s vision has always been to keep the ongoing search to provide solutions that enhance the way people listen to music. I have an XLR based one but it's not calibrated. My first measurement today, just to see what happened, I set it up like this.Īs a part 2, I was also wondering about the best I/O setup for using a UMIK 1 microphone. ![]() I'm assuming that if I run a measurement sweep with the subwoofers engaged, it will throw the timing off, and generally interfere with the quality of the measurement. However, if I disengage the subwoofers, the microphone will measure a very large null in the low end, which will then affect the correction. This does a good job of evening out the low end.īecause the MiniDSP Flex only allows for 2 inputs, AFAIK it is not possible to separately measure the subwoofers, only the L and R monitors. I'd be inclined to experiment with delay settings for the sub assuming that it's contributing sound within this range.ĭue to room modes in a small room, with a huge null in the listening position, I use 2 subwoofers (rear L and rear R) in addition to the front L and R monitors. > Null 70-150Hz - this is an awfully wide null. That's only 1dB more than the industry standard of +-3dB range. An actual instrument note of D and D sharp and corresponding frequencies of 293 and 311Hz are affected by this null BUT they appear to be -4dB down from what looks like an 80dB average level. > Null at 300Hz - this may not be as ominous as it looks. This is where Audiolense shines in using impulse response to time align everything! Is the sub closer to you than the mains or are the mains closer in which case they may need delaying. > Sub timing based on distance alone is likely not accurate due to group delay caused by the sub's electronics. Try changing the toe-in (or is it tow-in?) amount. > your high freq roll off may be a result of speaker toe-in. Can you please confirm that the chart is without Audiolense FIR filter correction? Thanks for sharing your REW freq response chart. music signal+freq response corrections+time domain corrections) to the DAC where its processed and then spits out 6 channels to my biamped mains and pair of subs Then a USB connection takes 6 parallel channels of info (e.g. I map the JRiver channels to the AL ones, turn off JRiver when taking AL measurements and then use JRiver to invoke the AL created FIR filter within the JRiver DSP area of the software - dirt easy. In my case I run a HP Laptop as my music server that also has on it both JRIver and Audiolense. I think you will find that most of us (I'm guessing here) use multi-channel DACs with either software like JRiver or ROON etc (or multi-channel miniDSP models) that can also handle multiple channels independently for freq and time domain corrections. This is a sub optimal approach in my opinion unless you have REW or some other tool to help get you the delay times you require. You can keep the subs on with the monitors and measure each channel separately but you'd have to do the sub timing outside of Audiolense and have it ready to go before taking a AL measurement. You are realizing the constraint of having multiple sound sources but only two channels to do measurements and corrections via Audiolense. ![]()
