Roon endpoint or Dac with Room correction

I was referring to running the Dirac filters on the desktop/within the Roon core before sending a signal to the endpoint. This would (I believe) allow me to use any regular Dac or endpoint and still have RC. I believe this was possible with Dirac 1, but not with Dirac 2

Since I cannot apply the Dirac filters at the source of the stream, I'm looking for options to apply Dirac or other RC at the other end of the stream - the SHD being one such option 

I see didn't know you could do that with Dirac 1. So you can't load the filters to the 2x4HD ? I loaded the filters to the Studio and disconnected the computer, only used it creating them. 

Same problem I had with Dirac. Minidsp or NAD are about the only products that work with it unless you want a home theater AV.

it was a hack using a virtual sound card that wrapped the Dirac filters. That said, it still wouldn’t solve my problem of using a different endpoint/dac.

That’s what I was afraid of. Maybe I’ll continue to use the 2x4HD with Dirac and wait for a potential update to the SHD. Unless you think the current SHD would be a significant upgrade over the Node + 2x4HD

I think the SHD not the Studio would be an upgrade how significant I can't say. I know what the manual says but I ran Dirac 2 on a Windows 8 laptop even though it says it only runs on Windows 10. The Studio so I assume the full SHD will as well works as a Roon endpoint though it isn't certified. I never had a problem with it. The SHD can be used as a preamp as well.
