Need to rerun Dirac after PEQ or delay tweaks?

Say I change GD, modify XO or modify PEQ after running Dirac. I don't really understand what/how Dirac works, but presumably it's based on the original parameters. Hence changing them would invalidate the original Dirac run. Can anybody confirm this or comment? Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays,
 
All room corrections are only valid for the setup for which they're correcting by definition, so you'd need to rerun it.

If you are satisfied with the result after making the modifications, then there is little point in re-running Dirac because it will wipe out your PEQ changes. I suggest as a better approach would be to return to default and re-run Dirac, modifying the Dirac target curves if you are unhappy with the result from the target curves that Dirac calculates. I don't think that layering DSP is a great idea because you risk clipping. You are better off learning how to customize Dirac and do everything there.
