How to do room acoustics correction the easy way.


I have been researching all the methods to do room acoustics correction with an existing system with a existing DAC.  What I want  is a device that connects between my stereo preamp and stereo amp that will do the work.  I want it great, but I want it simple.  I want all my sources to go through the “box”. 

Am i missing something obvious, or is that not how this stuff works?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated....

To do it thoroghly It’s more complex than that ....  Room correction software is NOT your secret weapon.  Alas, you can’t simply apply digital room correction to fix your acoustics. 


Room EQ can tame some issues, but it can’t correct for long reverberation times or comb filtering caused by strong early reflections (like those nasty reflections produced by speaker boundary interference 

To tame these problems you have two weapons in your arsenal: smart room layout and acoustic treatment.

For the latter, start  by mounting bass absorbers and treating your first reflection points. Then ideally apply  treatment to the ceiling and all walls of your room if possible with modular acoustic control panels, / sound absorption acoustic panels . Expert applications with all their professional gizmos instead of a DIY cheap as you can go approach is worth considering 
Number 1 - Treat the room first.

Number 2 - You'll get purer results if you apply corrections before the DAC.

miniDSP offers DIRAC Live in pre/post dac versions.
