Minidsp shd studio vs Streamer

[silver12]

Hello, what is better my Denafrips Arce streamer + eq roon (with Umik1 + rew) or. only Minidsp shd studio - dirac live? I have big problem with nonsymetrical room. I know second options is simple, but first mybe better sound? Did someon do comaprison in that way?

Roon PEQ is basic EQ only, while the miniDSP SHD Studio provides full DSP with crossover, routing, and per channel delay.

Even without a subwoofer, delay and phase can still matter in an asymmetrical room.

Both approaches can give good results, but Roon PEQ is manual and limited to EQ, while the SHD also offers Dirac and can address timing.

You could try something like @OCA Gsonic. It's free, easy to use and generates FIR filters that can be loaded directly into Roon, which is what I've done. I've had good results with it, although don't have a miniDSP shd/DIRAC for comparison. If subs aren't involved, Gsonic might be all you need.

Edit: You can also add a delay to a speaker in Roon using the speaker setup feature.

Its interesting this...will do that way first...in the end will test Home Audio Fidelity (HAF).

I'm really happy with the denafrips arce streamer, I wouldn't want to lose anything by switching to the minidsp shd studio...But corner do magic, its boss against open space on the right I'm also thinking of making a panel that illustrates a wall to create a reflection, but it probably wouldn't be a huge success.

Now i have KLH model 5, since I'm thinking about buying high-performance speakers, I came across the Atlantis lab 23pro, where the bass reflex tube can be adjusted...which would probably be very effective...
