Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?

This question was inspired by a YouTube from “2021 Capital Audio Fest: Jefferson Room”. Even though a lowly MP4, this is the best I have ever heard a drum solo!

The speakers are the Arion Apollo system. I question going through an ADA conversion coming from my quite high end analog front end with a tube preamp. The Apollo system uses a, said to be the best of its kind, Trinnov ST2 processor.

Certainly room correction seems very useful but is it worth going through a digital conversion?

i would think yes, room dependent of course, and there are also other ways to skin the cat, like judicious placement of speakers and treatments

that said, i would think sometimes some rooms have really tough bass modes that really benefit from altering the audio signal to effectively ameliorate
