Hi I too tried digital room correction but found that the " price " by gaining a better tonal balance was too high. The perspective was partwise comprimised and regarding analog playback, i Got a digital print in the soundstage.
my soulution was passive roomcorrection, a part from optimal speaker and lisining position, i build passive loudspeaker absorbends to minimize the stranding waves isue. Adding 2 pairs of Shakti hallograps, one set behind the speakers and one set in the sides where the first reflection occured also made a significant improvement. It was also a good improvement to remove the system from between the speakers to the sidewall as well as hanging it on the brickwall and place a lot of decoupling under it.
its my beleafe that putting in another DAC in the system easily males a lot of mess. The passive way isent much cheaper but certaintly a heavy task to build and it tales a lot of time too.
happy lisining
