Looking to experiment with room correction by REW.
I have a Cambridge Audio A500 intergrated amp (with broken volume motor so no remote function) and a Chromecast Audio dongle, with a mini toslink to standard toslink cable, doing nothing at present.
These days my only source is a Samsung phone into a CCA; actually using an Onkyo RX 8270 receiver with its built-in CCA. Phone also feeds Sennheiser Kleer headphones via another CCA dongle as well as Bluetooth headphones/car radio/laptop/study audio.
I have this article an article using hifiberry on a Pi; can't post link as new member.
I know I need a calibrated mic; I have an old cheap dynamic mic and Sony MX-DJ9000 mixing desk but I don't these think will suffice.
Once I have used my laptop to create my filters and loaded them to the Pi DSP I just need to connect my CCA, via toslink, to the Pi then take the RCA output to AUX input on the amplifier or toslink output to the optical input on receiver; optical out bypasses Hifiberry DAC? I can then use my Samsung phone/tablet as my source/preamp. This means I only need one device to control sound, as at present.
Have I understood REW?
Wonder if I could replace the Pi gear with "miniDSP 2x4"; RCA only outputs.
Is this the correct?
Any advice please?
