Best room EQ?

Looking for the best sounding room correction EQ box.

After hearing Weiss’s pre-amps, op-amps, EQ1 and other gear, I haven’t found any equalization that is as good. By which I mean truly transparent yet musical at the same time. But you can only get his code on his 501 DAC, which I don’t want. But I bet there are some really good sounding audiophile room corrections these days..

??? thanks

For an audiophile…. Do whatever works for you! If you want room correction, old school equalizer, whatever works for you. No speaker is perfect no room is perfect no human being is perfect. Make whatever adjustments it takes to make it sound the way you think it should sound. This is entertainment it’s supposed to be fun

I know about ARC, but its a problem - its software based, and I don’t think the EQ algorithms are as good as Weiss. But, whats important is I need a hardware unit which can run on the signal regardless of the source.

I should add, although I mentioned audiophile grade, its for a pro audio studio in a treated room. But the problem is the pro audio crowd room equalization (i think) is not extremely great sounding.. I thought hi-fi might have some really high end products.

If you are only streaming, the Roon DSP system is pretty comprehensive.
