Mini dsp what's the deal


So I have been reading about mini dsp and am wondering what is the best one to go with? Is it good enough for a main system? I am looking at the 2*4 hd and the one above it. My room is not great but i think it sounds pretty damn good. If I can get it better with time alignment crossover to sub etc without sound degredation for a reasonable amount I would be all in. Also I don't know what the hell Dirac Live is? Any comments?

Yeah I have bunches of owens 703 panels in my room. It definitely helps. Can never get the sub in sync with the mains perfectly and I figure a time alignment software might make it more seamless. 
Thanks erik,

I am also not sure I would want to re digitalize after my DAC to my main speakers. Do you know with the standard minidsp if I could run it off my second set out pre outs that go to my sub and do time alignment with my main speakers as well as room correction etc to my sub. Seems like that might make for a good compromise as my mains are full range and wouldn't necessarily need crossed over. I know I have some learning to do on how to take the measurements/load software etc but pretty sure I can figure all that out if I know it is capable of doing what I want.
 I have a Wyred4Sound DAC 2 with femto clock. Not exactly state of the art but I would have to believe the DA conversion would definitely be superior to a couple hundred dollar box.
