I would respectfully disagree due to practical considerations - the DEQ is $300, and shortly after I got it I gleefully sold off $8k worth of room acoustics treatment that didn't do nearly as much. Primarily ASC tube traps, but also a variety of other things. What's more, I got my living room back - felt like a normal person again. Yeah, maybe if I hook up a specro-graph-ometer or whatever people use to measure nulls, black holes, and audio antimatter I'll find some - but once the DEQ was set to my liking, the rest seemed folly.

If you have room acoustics problems you've got a lot of spending to do on room acoustics treatment - and if you're listening room isn't dedicated, it will be by time you're done furnishing it with tube traps, roomlens, pillows, foam, etc.

For digital sources where the DEQ is simply numbers in and slightly different numbers out, for $300 it's a dream come true - turned me from an audio nut in a padded room to a music lover in a nice living room - in a very real way it changed my life. Priceless!
