I can't speak to analog since I'm strictly streaming, but I'm familiar with DSP (DIRAC) within my 2-channel system. I can't remember where I read it recently, but it was something along the lines of room "correction" should actually be called room compensation instead - this definitely resonated with me. I've completely moved away from DIRAC and instead focused on room treatments and guidance from Get Better Sound by Jim Smith, which has yielded greater results.
Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
This question was inspired by a YouTube from “2021 Capital Audio Fest: Jefferson Room”. Even though a lowly MP4, this is the best I have ever heard a drum solo!
The speakers are the Arion Apollo system. I question going through an ADA conversion coming from my quite high end analog front end with a tube preamp. The Apollo system uses a, said to be the best of its kind, Trinnov ST2 processor.
Certainly room correction seems very useful but is it worth going through a digital conversion?
