North Hi, briefly my first exposure to DRC was at the very first Munich HiEnd show I attended, ten years ago perhaps, Peter Schippers was using Acourate software to try and improve the Krell 'portakabin' .
Munich has huge downstairs hall, where small cabins are built up from scratch.
The difference the software made in admittedly a terrible sounding space was enormous.
I was so impressed I started looking at room correction, my thought was 'perfect' sound without the physical acoustic treatment .
I looked at the various options available , Trinnov seemed the most innovative and when we compared it to the Tact unit it was an improvement, the room still sounded like the room but just better.
The difficulty with Trinnov was that initially they set their target curve to flat, which no one liked , often we would almost have to return the room to its pre correction condition before customers were satisfied.
Also the reliability of the units was questionable and the company were unhelpful and arrogant .
Dirac corrected to the raditional B&K downhill ski slope curve , customers much preferred this, less versatile but straightforward to use ,and did not require an expensive 'box'.
At the moment my feeling is, try and get as smooth a response as you an physically, ie passive treatment ,position,multiple subs perhaps and then use as little EQ as possible.
I let Christof Faller (Illusonic) create the EQ he knows what he is doing and it shows, the sound quality in my room now is the finest I have ever enjoyed.
