The minidsp also adds analogue and other sources into the mix neatly, this is it's main advantage over a PC based solution.The only major difference, aprt form price, between the solution I proposed (and that I'm using) and miniDSP SHD is that with miniDSP SHD you are getting both hardware components (comp and DAC) in a single housing.

Great how? Has it been tested independently?
Yes, in probably thousands of studios all over the world. I have two Genelec SAM sets myself (8331+7350 and 8340) and the GLM software works flawlessly. Here are a few reviews for you:

Exactly. There are plenty of "back of the rack" solutions available (even more if you DIY), but precious few all-in-one solutions for 2-3 sources and DSP "for all" - at least in the under $2K price range. DAC/Streamer/Pre's are available for most budgets - but paired with even "lite" room correction capabilities? Quite a bit more rare.The minidsp also adds analogue and other sources into the mix neatly, this is it's main advantage over a PC based solution.
Amongst people who should be using some form of room correction, I'm not so sure that's true.True. Although my guess would be that most folks stream music either from NAS or from the Net these days.

From what I can see none of these 3 reviews contains a control measurement taken after the correction to verify the results. Or..?
Actually the full size SHD is mains powered with a standard switched/fused IEC power entry module. The switch on this module is the only way to turn the unit on and off so I agree with @dwkdnvr that the lack of a 12V trigger is a shame. Fortunately the SHD does not turn on with a violent pop at the outputs like the cheaper miniDSP products. It comes on a few seconds after being powered with a click from the output relay, like standard amps and preamps have. So I just use my power conditioner to turn the unit on and off which works perfectly as it remembers its previous settings. I usually use the unit with a logitech harmony hub which had a profile for the SHD that works just fine. The only issue is those few seconds of delay that the SHD has upon startup as the harmony hub was trying to send input commands to it during the delay which of course didn't work. Usually you would fix this issue by adding a power on delay in the harmony hub set up but because the hub doesn't actually turn on the unit, this isn't an option. So I had to remedy the issue by adding a delay to the harmony activities that include the SHD and now it works as expected.MiniDSP doesn't provide any draw characteristics, but as the whole thing runs on a 12V DC wallwart...
GLM shows you the corrections immediatelly after the analysis. Corrections are always room dependant so I am not 100% sure what you mean by 'control measurements'? Here's a pic of my 8331+7350 setup and it's GLM corrections. My room has a nasty -15dB drop around 80Hz which the sub fills pretty ok.
