The Wiim Mini DAC, known for its budget-friendly price, hides a powerful feature within its Android app that could revolutionize your home audio. Dubbed "RoomFit," this function uses your Android device's microphone to analyze your listening space and automatically adjust the equalizer (EQ) for a flatter, more accurate sound.
Buried in the device settings, the process is a two-step affair. The Wiim first plays a sweeping tone across the full frequency range, which is then recorded by your phone's microphone. The app analyzes this data to identify and correct for room-specific acoustic issues. It then automatically applies these EQ settings to the Wiim Mini.
A second sweep confirms the new settings and offers the option to accept the changes. The results can be dramatic. In one instance, using the Wiim with a pair of powered monitors in a bedroom yielded exceptional results. The same user, an audiophile who owns a pair of Magnepan LRS+ speakers, noted that the difference on their main living room system was nothing short of "amazing."
This unexpected performance boost was so impressive that an additional Wiim Mini was immediately ordered to make the room correction a permanent fixture in the main listening area.
