Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain?

Hi,

I use a Men in my system. Large irregular basement over 800sqft. Just could not get the bass right regardless of positioning. Bass was not defined/punchy  and I could not get the highs crystal clear. 

The unit sits between preamp and amp since I have Vinyl, CD and streaming.

in short you lose maybe 5% and gain 50%. My room correction factor shows 9%.

No difference in the sound character of the speakers etc. however infinitely more enjoyable. 
 

Best part is that the unit is close to transparent. Any footer or cable change up or downstream is audible.

An absolute must have for me. I cannot listen to the system without it. 

@mattsca I agree that doing the DSP BEFORE the DAC is ideal. The MEN unit likely allows your vinyl to also be used with DSP.

Since you are a ROON user you should talk to Mitch Barnett at 
Digital Room Calibration Services, Convolver, Headphone Filtersets

He creates Convolution filters that run inside ROON. The filter is a customized DSP for your speakers | room | listening position.

I no longer use my filters since I have different speakers and different rooms.

I only use DSP with subwoofers.   My main system has a sub with DSP and room correction and my second system has a Velodyne sms1 sub controller/eq.     

Works well for me.  

I do not have analog but for digital side and roon for sure use Muse.  REW is one way I bought software called focus Fidelity and find it much easier.  Will make Harmon curve etc.  I can use the PEQ filter on top of it boost or lighten bass depending on what I am listening to and how it was recorded to match my taste in bass. Best way to integrate a sub with speakers.  I would never go without it after using it. 

Use the convolution feature within Roon. I agree, it's best to avoid an additional AD/DA conversion
