I have Roon on a Mac Mini with a USB output to a WiiM Ultra. From the Wiim Ultra I can output to a Gustard DAC and Amp/Speakers or to a Headphone AMP or to Bluetooth headphones. Is there a way of isolating each choice in Roon so I can use Room Eq for the speakers and choose a a seperate equalizat…

The WiiM is three zones…one is room speakers, one is a headphone amp, and one is a Bluetooth headphone …I do a lot of manual switching now…and it sure would be nice to have separates…and I mistakenly said it was connected to the Mac…it is connected to the router.

[image] Dennis_Laslo1: The WiiM is three zones… As far as Roon is concerned, the WiiM is a single zone: it is just one audio source on the Ultra. So switching between outputs would be handled by the WiiM not Roon.

Yep…that’s what I’m doing now…but adding equalization is tricky

You need to create EQ for each device, and save this as a preset in Muse. Then select the appropriate preset according to headphone or speakers.

@Dennis_Laslo1 Could you or would you want to do something like the following to have separate end points and gain the ability to have MUSE DSP per zone? The Mac Mini and Roon - not the WiiM Ultra - would become the central hub. [Roon Zones and EQ]

Yep…I could do that except the headphone amp input is the line out of the DAC. THere is no USB input. I used to use the Mac to feed the bluetooth headphones but I suspect the Mac DAC is not the best. I didn’t need the iphone…I just went straight from the Mac to the Bose 700’s. It would be nice…

I put a question mark after Zone 2 below because I’m assuming - haven’t done this myself - it’ll show up as a different zone since Roon sees WiiM Ultra (network) and Gustard DAC (USB). If I were setting this up for myself, I would consider… The measured and audible differences in diagram 1 above …

The WiiM is a Roon Ready network streamer, so connect it to your network, not the Mac Mini. This device is one zone.

Any devices connected directly to the Mac Mini via USB are additional zones.

Each zone can have different DSP. Headphones may also have different EQ settings, but you will need to create these, save them, and select as needed, depending on your zone setup.

So, it may be beneficial to describe how you would like to use Roon and each of your preferred zones.

Some reading.
