Configure two smart speakers as stereo pair?

[Adeeb]

Hi @RBM,

I was just testing this type of config using my iPhone & iPad – my settings match your instructions.

Naim muso 2nd gen roon ready

Just experimented in Roon with creating a grouped zone consisting of an iPhone and an iPad and applied a DSP (Procedural EQ --> Mix --> map L to both L+R and R to L+R for each device respectively)… despite how bad the iPhone and iPad speakers are for music listening (especially that they are not matched), the result definitely gave a much better stereo image. However, I believe there may be a timing issue between the two. It is difficult to tell because the two devices sound so different. Anyo…

While it is tough to determine with confidence (because of how different the two devices sound), it seems like there might be a timing issue. Can you confirm that Roon should be handling the syncing perfectly in this scenario? Or might there be some factors that might cause some timing issues? While I do not have other DSP settings enabled for either device, would having different DSP filters for each device cause a problem?

For reference, I am using the latest version of Roon server (ethernet to wifi 802.11ac – aka wifi5) and Apps (wifi 802.11ac / wifi5).

Thanks
