A DEQX HDP-4 seems like the perfect option for you. Everything you need in one box, the price isn't crazy ($5500), and they can guide you through the setup and calibration process.

An other one-box option is a Trinnov MC Processor or magnitude32, which should do everything the DEQX can do but also includes a much better room optimization package. The price will be somewhere >$10k though.

A more complicated, but cheaper option is to use a standalone ADC, a digital source switch, a miniDSP nanoDIGI 2x8B into a good quality multichannel DAC like the exaSound e28. The volume control should be done in the DAC rather than the source switch.

For a digital source switch, you can use something like this:

Or you can get a pro monitor controller to do the ADC and source switching. But if you want good ADC it won't be that cheap.

But by the time you add up the cost of the ADC, source switch, miniDSP, multichannel DAC, and measurement microphone, you will probably have spent as much as you would have for the DEQX.
