Yes, this is available for $500 (plus adapters from 1/4" to RCA or balanced connectors). It works 'only' from 500Hz on down, and has the Lyngdorf Room Correction algorithms.

One main thing I like is it uses 24/96 ADCs and DACs, so should be pretty 'transparent'. Does it 'truncate' the soundstage depth? That's one of my concerns. I am hoping it's effect is to 'enlarge' the soundstage, and maybe this 'good' effect will overcome any 'bad' effects the process has.

Does it do everything the full blown (and full-spectrum) Lyngdorf or McIntosh version does? Don't know, don't really worry as I can't afford those!!!

I KNOW I have some modes at (maybe 25), 50, 100, and 200 Hz ... I think this thing can EQ them 'out' pretty well, and want to try it. I cannot get away with acoustic treatment (esp. what would be needed to suppress 25 and 50 Hz energy!).

I listen in the nearfield to stand-mounted monitors, that are well away from the walls (and have a powered sub). I am hopeful this thing will 'treat' the room as well as a total acoustic panel/trap system would.

The DSP based EQ includes PHASE correction, so I think it actually works much better than a 'regular' EQ, and can actually "act" like absorbers/traps would. At least that's what I am telling myself ...!

It's worth $500 to me to experiment with it.
