EQ / Dsp... Who’s using them?

I use Anthem ARC and have been very happy

I had my DSP professionally done. These links describe what and who did the work. The software used in my room was AudioLense though the other option was Accurate.

My DSP is executing in the digital realm inside of ROON Core. So that means my 2 analog sources do not use DSP. That is OK since 1 source is an FM tuner and the other is a SACD player that I use with headphones.

As a kid watching Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob, and Superman close to an all vacuum tube RCA console, it appears my warm blanket electronic audio conditioning was all second harmonic.
  
While I always find the before and after signal processing demonstrations remarkable I find I simply can’t commit to digitizing my entire system, yet.

Below my subwoofers crossover region the output is completely remotely controlled by Velodyne Digital Drive Plus Room Optimization.

Thanks Wolf_Garcia!  I’m planning on getting a loki mini plus once they available.

I kind of get what was said about the eq’s or dsp robbing the soul.  Hard to explain but for me, eq’s and dsp sound better but I lose some openess and transparency.

Anyhow, yes, I agree that acoustic treatments and speaker / listener placement need to be addressed first, which I’ve done but its fun to try to eq options and dsp as well.

I found that just by using the measurement part of Sonarworks really helped me figure out where to best place my speakers for the smoothest frequency response, exactly what was said earlier in this thread about sub placement.

Anyhow, Thanks again @wolf_garcia  for your input about the loki.  I’ve known you for awhile now here and knew that you have a background in prosound so I value your input on that 👍

Note I also think DSP is an "audio nanny" that I for one don't trust, and I don't like what I've heard in systems using it...likely a case of Knob Turner syndrome ("riding the fader"), or Old Sound Man issues which is a profile I embrace.
