I sound like an subjectivist saying this, but I have used Tact gear and Dirac embedded in gear which allow instant switching for comparison. With neither has anyone said, "man it sounds better if you leave that room correction off". That does include using it just for 500 hz and below vs letting it correct full range. When the DSP goes on everyone I have seen has no problem deciding it is a good step toward better sound. I do spend time customizing target curves which are sometimes small adjustments toward someone's preference. Whether that someone is me or friends.
Audyssey on the other hand, always in earlier versions people said, "I think I want that off". I haven't had hands on with the very latest versions of it. You could hear things it did improve, but as many it seemed to make worse. With other options I didn't spend much time determining how it was different than what Tact or Dirac were doing.
PEQ's for just the low end is an easy DSP helper. Other EQ even full range is helpful if you have some ability to measure it. Though I can't say it works as well as something like Dirac.
