There's DEQX as well (https://www.deqx.com/) but it's considerably more expensive than the SHD

https://live.dirac.com/pro-audio/ They do a pro version of it now, so it should be OK.

Fwiw I ordered one from hifi express recently and it came with the newest firmware (1.7), so I wouldn't worry about it if you buy a new one. I have no trouble driving a pair of HD 660s with mine, even with EQ.

If you plan on using a Pi you can buy a AES hat(e.g https://www.pi2design.com/pi2aes.html) and skip tthe Matrix-X-SPIDF

The speakers will put any analog input through a A/D stage so any GLM room correction etc can be applied to the sound - I imagine the crossovers are digital as well.

You pay for the DSP, DAC and Dirac software/licensing

I wonder if using a raspberry pi and using the HDMI on that for audio out will work.

Airpods (and the airpods pro/airpods max) and some other bluetooth headphones already do EQ the sound Outside of bluetooth though, the current solutions are mostly aimed at studio/pro use. Audeze have their Reveal plugin, and there is also Sonarworks for other brands.
