Listening feedback: how does your room sound with the filter?

This thread is for what you hear once the filter is on. Short or long, good or bad, every impression helps:

• your speakers and room in a few words, and the sound you chose (Neutral, Balanced, Warm or Analogue), full band or bass only;
• what changed: bass, voices, treble, stereo image, dynamics, fatigue; what you like, what you miss;
• how you compared: with "No correction" at the same level, or with another correction you know.

Beta testers post from their own download page ("Questions and answers"): it shows at once, with your first name and "beta tester". We read everything, and the next versions of the filters come from it.

It took a bit of work to get it running, but Alexandre has been amazing. At first I was only correcting up to 500hz, but today I tried full range. WOW!

Everything just opened up. Way bigger soundstage and sense of the recording space, and better localization of voice and instruments. Front to back layering and across the stage. Deep voices have real body and "chest," without any bloat.

I was using 10 bands of EQ exported Fromm Wiim Roomfit. The Wiim tool is amazing for what it is, but Room just takes things to a whole other level.

Tips - read the instructions. Really. Now read them again. Check twice to be sure you've turned off other corrections and filters before you measure. Each time you measure, the app creates filters for Roon, Audirvana and HQPlayer. You can delete the folders for the apps you don't use.

The updating process is wonky, and right now, there are a LOT of updates. Check back here often/daily during the beta. process.

This is a remarkable tool and will be a steal at $99 when released.

Hi All,

It’s been a week I have tried audiolaz filters.

My setup:

Roon Server: NUC13ANHi3 with customized Audioliux
DAC: TOPPING D90 III Discrete
Amp: SMSL AO200 MKII
Streamer: Diretta Target DST-00
Speaker: TD508MK4 with Subwoofer Edifier T5
Smartphone: iPhone 16

And I usually listen to music upconverting to DSD512.

First I tried my filter with iPhone 16 internal microphone, and it's enough to see the difference. The image is cleaner/clearer and bass is more tighter/cleaner. That's done with Roon's convolution filter.

I wanted to do further so I bought Dayton Audio iMM-6C. This time I tried with audiolaz player installed on my NUC. With new filter and an installed audiolaz software, the image is even more cleaner / clearer, and bass is more precise. I cannot go back listening without audiolaz filters now. I think operations has to be more sophisticated though sound quality is improved far more than I expected. I know that a lot of people are interested in Room EQ and don't know what to do, this software will surprise people with how easy to make filters and how good it will improve the sound. Please keep up the good work til its release!

Thank you so much, Hiroshi, for such a detailed report. Hearing that the image is clearer and the bass tighter, first with the iPhone and even more with the Dayton and our player on your NUC, is exactly what we hoped for.

You're right about the operation: it needs to be simpler, and that's what we're working on now. Which steps felt the most awkward to you? Even one line helps us decide what to fix first.

Just one suggestion about the operation. How about making a tab on the right top and access each pages? It will be much easier.

I have tested with Cambridge NQ and PMC Prophecy setup, with UMIK 1 and with Cambridge L/R X active speakers. Testing so far has been limited, but the results in both cases have corrected a known Room Mode issue at 40 & 80 hz. This resulted in cleaner/tighter bass: correction filter was full band. In the past using DIRAC has to my ears negatively impacted the stereo stage and this wasn't the case with the convolution filter from Audioplaz Room. First impressions are good.
