Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD

I have a terrible room, even with a lot of acoustic treatment.
I have been thinking about room correction as it seems to get better and better.Dirac Live looks very easy to use and have got a lot of great reviews. So I would like to use that.
If I buy the SHD Studio from miniDSP then I have to say goodbye to DSP and MQA.Are there a way to have room correction and MQA/DSD?
Another product or alternative to Dirac?

I am looking into Convolution files inserted into my ROON server to do DSP. You measure the room and then use some software to fit a few established performance curves. One curve for each file.

I am not sure about MQA and DSD with Convolution files since I am in the baby steps of my research.

@martin-anderson Read some of the comments by @mitchco and read some of his articles posted on the site. I just bought his book on setting up DSP via convolution files. I hope to get back into reading it once my job stuff is under control. He also has recently started a company that remotely generates the convolution files given some measurements of your room. I am going to try to do this first myself and see where it takes me.

I bought a lifetime subscription to ROON 6 months before they released the product. It has turned out to be a great purchase. I have to thank the son of PS Audio’s owner. I met him at an audio show and he said do not buy any audio client software until I have a look at ROON. He said that will be the dominant player.
