Yes it would . But I must consider first off I have one now. And old one . It sounds really good , and I am looking for room correction. At present if I change dacs as I a few I hear the change immediately . Even if I change settings as up sample or filters. My point is every thing is a trade off in this hobby. There is no real perfection and for me I see a small loss for big gains. Remember I had the speakers with there internal cross overs so no digital processing. And it to had issues
By me doing what I have done it has improved my system . And I feel this addition or any other type of processing will to.
At the very least if I do not like the room correction software I still have a much newer form of active cross over system.
So I am looking forward to this as of now. If I wanted it to be perfect in anyway possible it would cost me several hundred thousand and maybe I would not like it anyway. My only issues are the volume control and how transparent the op amps
Are in the unit.

The volume control on the DEQX HDP-4, PreMATE and HDP-Express II are digital, post DSP, at 32 bit floating point resolution. The DACs also run with a 32 bit input, then onto an analog stage using the latest high speed op-amps. Compare this to even the best 'pro' DSPs, even the Xilica, which is actually designed with sound quality in mind. Many of the 'pro' DSPs you will see out there focus on feature sets and price, and seldom mention sound quality in any of their literature. Contrast this with something like a DEQX where the DSP has changed very little over the three hardware generations. The hardware generations (PDC2.6 to HDP-3 to HDP-4) came about because they were designed by people who are critically listening to their products and finding ways to improbe sound quality through power supplies, circuit board layout, DAC chips and analog output stages.
