Update on room correction systems?

I am about to dive into room correction and have been going over the threads and some are years old. Given rapid changes in room correction does anyone have input on the latest models of Lyngdorg RP-1, DEQX, Dspeaker Dual Core, and others that I should consider that will preserve air, bloom, liquidity etc.- Ideally having actually listened to these units and compared them? I have all digital sources. Is it important not to do the extra ADA and put between transport and DAC, or is between preamp and amp OK? Any products that do the job well that I have not mentioned and are reasonably priced new or used?
Thanks

I have found speaker correction to be more important, achieving better results than just RC. Even the most expensive speakers benefit from this. I have had them in rooms at shows. Some room correction is helpful for bass resonances, but the SC elevates the whole system.

I have found Amarra to have the most transparent tools for this. In addition to being an excellent USB player, these tools are indispensable.

For tips, see:

I have used several hardware devices for crossover and RC. None of them were really transparent. They all impress their sonic signature and compression on the music.
