It does not measure great, but I wonder if that would be audible. I only use it for the subs and at those frequencies human hearing is indiscriminate enough to make this a non issue. If I had to choose between effective dsp eq and a perfectly measuring DAC I would always opt for the former.
Very few dsp eq units measure that well, to be honest. In my own use case, I will use the filters in my RME ADI-2 DAC for the range 80-200 Hz.

How's it affecting the sound quality though? Many members on here complained about it
I can't hear any difference in sound quality / noise with or without my DDRC24 in the chain.
And I can't live without it now that I know how important it is for the sound in the room and how I can get the exact EQ that I want.

I have used it for both 2.1 and 2.0 setups. It's a superb device. Best money I've ever spent in HiFi.
