Room with glass windows as a walls.


My daughter moved from first floor townhouse apartment to 42nd floor skyscraper apartment and fifty percent of her apartment walls are actually glass windows from floor to ceiling now.

I helped her with setting up her system at old place and the sound was pretty decent however new apartment acoustic wise is total disaster.
 Of course I did put her system together at new place but sound is terrible. She actually understands all my explanations about acoustic issues at new place, but she doesn’t take it seriously. My daughter  actually listens to a lot of music, sometimes for hours however I wouldn’t call her audiophile, probably just a serious music lover and I understand that she will have listening fatigue pretty soon at her new place.  

Acoustic treatment probably would be limited or refused due to esthetic and design incompatibility. Has anyone experienced setting up a system in such conditions, any advice?

@OP you can generate convolution filters for your daughter’s room yourself with REW (open source software, free) and the aforementioned $100 mic.

Then, instead of expensive roon or JRiver you can run Daphile (Linux-based, open source, free) on the same suitably minimally configured PC you would need to run roon on anyway, load your convolution filters in Daphile, and voilà.

Not sure about the cost of ROON these days but I bought a lifetime subscription 10 years ago for $450

It’s $830 right now.
