digital room correction

My system consists of the following:

B&W 803S
Mac 352
Mac C41
Wyred4 Sound dac2

I have a fairly congested great room as far as furniture, but have managed to get my speakers about 44 from back wall, but unfortunately around 46" from side wall. I do have a cabinet between speakers, but speakers are fairly far infront of the cabinet. Listening position is about 9 feet from each speaker.

I have tried for years with moderate success to position my speakers. My soundstage is OK and my detail is pretty good, but I never have reached the holy grail that I read about, which is more depth, wall to wall soundstage and that holographic feel.I am starting to think its a myth (seriously)after hundreds of repositions.

I know my room is tough. I really like my Dac2 and have been using J River 15 as my software. Has anyone played with their limited room correction, Is there a good, reliable but not too technical room correction package that may help get me to the next level?

Steve, I assume that the specific positioning is in the far corners behind the speakers? Is it just that easy?

Thanks to all. I might get away with some good looking corner traps, but I think that would be about it.

I have the speakers about three inches at the back of the speaker in front of the cabinet.I do have nicely focused voicing and fairly good detail placement within the soundstage, but very little depth and the soundstage never extends past the speakers.

There is no chance of removing the cabinet between speakers. Am I wasting time and money by trying corner traps? I have been playing with toe in, sound anchor speaker stands, placement, ICs, speaker wire, Dacs, etc. for three years and have the positioning as good as its going to get without removing the system and going to another room (not a possibility).

Thanks to everyone for your consideration. Always find advice here helpful and generous.
