Anything new with digital room correction?

[[The biggest problem is (as you say) it robs the sound of dynamics and subtlety. The frequencies that suffer the most are the midrange and treble.]]

Yep, that was exactly my experience with the DEQ2496.  And I _really_ wanted a digital EQ/room correction solution for my system.

I pulled it out of the closed and tried it again this week.  Nope, back in the closet it goes . :(

I have been using a Trinnov ST2 Hifi for over 12 years. It is only used in the digital domain between sources and my DAC, it has lots of optimization options and it is extremely flexible. The firmware has been steadily improved and I just couldn't do without it in my room. I use it mainly for the bass response and time alignment of the units, it really is one the best DRCs available.

Btw before the Trinnov I was using a TacT RCS 2.0 myself, there is no comparison between the two. The Trinnov is so much more capable and advanced.

Are you using the new Waveforming DSP with the Trinnov? That is very high on my radar

@scottwheel  No I am not using the Waveforming DSP and at this time I have no need for it, it sounds like a very useful tool for subwoofer calculations and placement. My Trinnov uses their Optimizer and is now discontinued but still supported. Trinnov are now targeting more the studio professionals and the high end home theater, their only product which is relevant to stereo is the amethyst preamp with DRC.
