Roon has a room correction endpoint, but it's clunky and not that advanced IMHO as Dirac.
What Roon lets you do is upload convolution files and use them to correct the speaker response and phase. This requires you to do the measurement, acquisition and configuration. It is also VERY heavy on processing power that's required.
Instead of this approach, I judiciously applied a few parametric corrections which is much easier to do for me, and a lot easier on the Roon server CPU.
You can read about this approach and how it worked for me here:

The reason I say Roon is not as advanced is that Dirac does a lot of processing of the signal to hear closer to how we perceive sound, and averaged so that the benefits are spread out over a listening area. What I mean is, our ear/brain averages the speaker/room response over time. What we perceive as elevated or suppressed may be very different than how a microphone hears the room. You can read a lot more from Floyd Toole, but as I understand it, the Roon convolution is a single snapshot which uses 1 location and pretends the microphone is the only source of truth.
The thing I want to let you know, is that most experts, and I (definitely not an expert) agree that we can't hear phase changes very much, so adjusting for perfect phase may be more bother than it is worth, so the approach I took may be most of the benefit for only a little work. It took very little time, uses very little CPU power and has left me with subtle improvements.
