Just for those who are looking for a non DIY solution and want to use LMS with players that can do room correction the easy way...
1. Get a MiniDSP device and activate the squeezelite client plugin. The plugin does not work out of the box but with a little linux knowletge it is possible to copy a actual squeezelite binary to the MiniDSP. I can write a howto or help if someone wants to setup MiniDSP with squeezelite and has no idea whow to do this... Room correction is done with DIRAC Lite, the licence is included if you buy a MiniDSP. Using DIRAc seems to be easy and no deep knowletge of filters e.g. is needed. Because I am blind I was not able to do the measurements myself but my girlfriend helped and we went through the procedure in just two hours. 2. Get a device called CleanVolver which is offered by AudioVero: http://www.audiovero.de the CleanVolver is a Raspberry 4 with a linux running on it. Room correction is done by brutefir. The device can be connected e.g. via USB to your DAC. The software to produce the filters is called Acourate and can be also buyed via AudioVero. It is also possible to book online sessions to do the measurements with Mr. Brueggemann, the head of AudioVero and Acourate. I am no specialist regarding DSP and I don't know if REV is better then Acourate or what are the differences between the filter types or if brutefir is still state of the art, but both solutions, the MiniDSP and CleanVolver setup, are doing a very good job for me and the service ans support of Mr. Brueggemann is great. For me, in my special situation as a blind user who can not use measuring tools like Acourate, REV or DIRAC, those solutions are also great, because I would not have been able to get a DSP setup installed and configured myself. So for those who want to have a easy DSP solution both setups might also be interesting... BTW.: Are there any good sources where to get a better understanding of the different filter types? And do you know any tools to build or rebuild such filters without a grafical software which is unfortunatly unuseable for me in most cases? I would be so happy to experiment with my two DSP setup and changing filters, play aournd with different setting, e.g., but I am not aware of any program or tool, e.g. for the linux command line, that I could use :-(.
