Schiit Mini loko+

Not a fan of any external EQ. Just one more thing to degrade the signal.

Exactly right ! You do not want anything in the signal path that you do not need....

HOWEVER: I can hear and measure that the use of the DSP engine in my JRiver software improves the frequency response of the speakers in question.

BUT: The DSP engine is unavailable for the analog signal of my turntable. So the Loki could possibly solve the issue for my analog rig.

QUESTION: At what price ??

So the Loki could possibly solve the issue for my analog rig.

First, you determine what the issue is. Then you determine how to fix it w/o using a band aid. This can be with room treatment, speaker placement, component upgrade, etc. Adding another electronic box to the signal chain is not my idea of fixing anything.

I could have not said it better.
