I have used REW for several years, mostly for room correction. But it seems something is broken in the last versions, 5.20 beta 8:
1. I took a moving-mic RTA measurement, made correction and then measured the correction and got -6dB in the 5khz area and a wide area around it. Needless to say, it did not sound good.
2. There is a very noticeable change in frequency response for the different frequency response outputs (the ones you get when you save impulse response). 44khz sounds normal and 192kHz sound very muffled.
3. Not sure about this, but I can't get sweep measurements/corrections to sound good. Might be related to above.
And here is a feature request: in Roon (which I use as player), Low Shelf and High Shelf has a Q, but not in REW, which makes it tricky to experiment and compare. Could LS/HS get a Q in REW as well (I assume it has one, but fixed at a default value).
