JStewart - thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at that later on. Today I figured out a way to use my music server with Windows 10 using the WDM audio device driver. I was able to install REW on my music server, level match all speakers, and take measurements.

OK, so I ran the test and it seems to work, but I have to use my main speakers because there's a signal at the beginning and and another signal at the end to let REW know when to start and stop the measurement. The issue with this, is to compare apples to apples I would like to test the subs on...

OK, I've read through John's post again and it seems simple enough. I won't be able to do this until later, but I do have a question. To facilitate the 'Check Levels', is it just a matter of setting the desired dB SPL on the other system using a SPL meter before running the measurements? Thanks.

Yes, plenty of bass when using the music server and playing sine wave loops out of HQPlayer. Far more than enough. If I'm level matching the mains to both subs (from music server, using SPL meter), I normally have the DAC at -22, for the mains (80dB), and the subs are turned up about 6 clicks on...

Yes, I'm running right and left to each sub.

Nope, I have it set to Normal Mode.

Thanks guys, but I don't have another system I can use for measuring. My other music server doesn't have any hardware for speakers out. It's just a mini-ITX motherboard. As mentioned before, I use ethernet for audio to an external digital converter (AoIP). I would have loaded REW on that system...

Right, 1 split 6 for left side, another split 6 for right side to amps and both subs. As mentioned, if I don't use the split 6's and output from the DAC directly to either sub, measurements and results are pretty much the same as using the split 6's. DAC and Subs both need near full volume...

The UMIK-1 is plugged into the USB port as the microphone. The RCA cable is plugged into the 1/8" TRS as speaker (on laptop), and RCA input on DAC (the cable has both L/R channels because the TRS jack is stereo). The Split 6 works fine, that's why I mentioned I tried measuring the subs directly...

Hello Members, Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this issue. I have REW installed on a Dell XP13, with a UMIK-1 plugged into the headphone jack of the laptop, and the right/left RCA connectors into my DAC. I use the balanced out connections to connect to my amp and both subs via a...
