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?

Clearly everyone agrees DSP is the answer. Only by tearing the music apart, ripping it literally to bits, manipulating and altering and stitching it back together again, can we be true to the source.

Everyone knows the more complicated the circuit the better it measures. The more manipulated the signal the better it measures. And the one sure way to make analog measure better is to digitize it.

So by all means if you want to measure stuff then digitize the crap out of it, stand back, and gaze with all your measurebat- er friends at the glorious beauty of your, whatever you call it. Applaud yourselves at turning music into something only an audiophile could love.
