Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD

@martin-anderson Read some of the comments by @mitchco and read some of his articles posted on the site. I just bought his book on setting up DSP via convolution files. I hope to get back into reading it once my job stuff is under control. He also has recently started a company that remotely generates the convolution files given some measurements of your room. I am going to try to do this first myself and see where it takes me.

I bought a lifetime subscription to ROON 6 months before they released the product. It has turned out to be a great purchase. I have to thank the son of PS Audio’s owner. I met him at an audio show and he said do not buy any audio client software until I have a look at ROON. He said that will be the dominant player.

What does ’loosing’ mean? Same as an 'intergrated' amp? Or a speaker with weak 'base?' 

I now have the MiniDSP SHD Studio and it was the right decision. Much tighter and more precise bass and better stereo image. The tonality is also better because I am using the Dirac default house curve 

Sorry, just reread, and now understand what I think is a typo.

You want to keep DSD AND Tidal MQA while adding room correction.

OK, you can do this with Roon, but it won’t do the room analysis part for you. You have to collect the data yourself and either adjust Roon’s parametric EQs or use their convolution engine. Both require you to use your own mic and something like Room EQ Wizard or OmniMIc.

Best,

I am a bit confused I have been looking at the miniDSP SHO Studio which doesn't  have a dac, if I connect to my network through ethernet doesn't the Studio just pass the signal to the dac? If the dac can do MQA and DSD you're saying the signal for those aren't sent to the dac through the Studio.
