Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD

I have a terrible room, even with a lot of acoustic treatment.
I have been thinking about room correction as it seems to get better and better.Dirac Live looks very easy to use and have got a lot of great reviews. So I would like to use that.
If I buy the SHD Studio from miniDSP then I have to say goodbye to DSP and MQA.Are there a way to have room correction and MQA/DSD?
Another product or alternative to Dirac?

I see where you said it only passes 24/96 sorry I didn't  catch that.

Roon has probably the best MQA capabilities I know of. They managed to unfold 48kHz to 96kHz, and pass it to the DAC WITH EQ changes for further MQA decoding.

That is, if your DAC has MQA, you can use all of Roon's features and still keep the full high resolution unfolding.

Best,

I am using Roon to unfold then the signal goes to the miniDSP. I have been using MANY hours playing with filters in REW export to Roon. But one set of measurements with Dirac and I smoked every filter I had made.Dirac really works wonders

@martin-andersen

Would love to have more details about your room and pictures of the charts.

I spent maybe 30 minutes with Roon filters, never attempted convolution, didn't seem to need it.
