Re: why are amazon/amazon resellers charging almost $25 more than the manufacterer charges direct? msrp on this item is $75, not $98 and change.

Today (2/9/22) selling for $137. After tax (here 7%) total $146.59. Likewise, the manufacturer $79 plus $25 (shipping to N America) total $104.00. Difference; $42.59 cheaper buying direct. I hope this helps as there are other answers to this question that are false.

How do these settings transfer to your av receiver? you save the settings to your laptop but how is my speakers calibrated if i cant transfer to my av

I use REW - Room EQ Wizard software V5.20. Connect mic to your laptop, configure mic via REW, run REW, manually set your AV speakers settings based on output/readings from REW. I'm over simplifying the process, but basically that's it.

Does the calibration data included with this mic include time domain in addition to frequency domain information?

You only need one or the other, and it doesn't matter which you get. The standard is frequency domain. The Fourier Transform, or FFT, which is the underlying algorithm operating on the measured data, converts between frequency and time domains as needed. Short answer: frequency domain is all you need.

Does this work with Android 5.0 or higher?

If your intentions are to use a RTA (Real Time Analyzer) or REW (Room EQ Wizard) for room calibration of your sound system via an AVR along with a PC or MAC, then no. I suppose you could search and find an Android 5.0 app that might work with the UMIK-1 mic, I haven't tried it with my Note 3 which is Android 5.0. I'm not sure what Android app would be compatible with the UMIK-1, you could try to contact miniDSP directly and see what they say. https://www.minidsp.com/
