The roon nucleus has a very versatile parametric eq available. You could build your own loudnesses curve and switch it on when needed
Low volume (loudness) listening
I do a lot of my listening early in the morning and/or late at night when my wife is sleeping. I listen to CDs I have ripped to my MacBook Air and to Tidal, both via Roon, and a few internet radio stations. The loudest I listen would be 60dB. I understand and it has been my experience that at lower volumes I am missing a lot; especially bass and vocals. Suggestions on what I can do?
My system: Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 3 speakers, Pair of REL T/7x subwoofers, Moon 390 preamp, Moon 330A amp, Emotiva CD player (used occasionally), Roon Nucleus One (Roon core) and LAIV Harmony DAC.
The Room: 16 ft X 22 ft living room. 8 ft ceiling. Oak floors. Reasonably damped with furniture, rugs and wall absorption. TV mounted on wall between speakers and behind furniture with equipment -- common setup.
Thanks for the help.

I'm generally not a fan of processing, but in your instance +1 @oldelectricalinspector ! And it will be interesting to see if you think you lose anything (or add noise) through DSP or how well it works! If you try this please let us know. |
Yup Roon DSP parametric eq gives you ultimate flexibility to tweak the sound including for low volume as desired. Problem totally solved! Use the Fletcher Munson Curve for reference. |
