    I can't say I've gotten too much value from the ASR forum, but one thing I did find on there was this neat streaming box that comes with a microphone to do Anthem Room Correction:

    For $200 it's the most affordable speaker room EQ device I could find:

    You can use optical in/out to bypass it's internal DAC (which isn't great), while still keeping the benefits of ARC. The room EQ process is very easy and makes a noticable improvement!

    I'm running a Bifrost 2 with a Saga going to LSR305's and there doesn't seem to be any degregation of sound quality. On the contrary, the bass is much improved and the overall tone seems more balanced!

    The software also includes a Quick Measure feature to view a live frequency response curve, that means you can watch it while you move your speakers and surroundings to optimize your setup and make the corrections work even better.

    Here is the report from my first measurements with my very non-ideal speaker placement:
