The reason why your ideology doesn't work with the notion of digital
room correction for the PC, is simple: it is free. 100% free. You
don't need to pay anyone a dime. You download it, learn how to use it,
and if you don't like what you hear, no loss.

What does that have to do with it? It doesn't matter how much it costs.
Either it fixes things or it doesn't.

I, for one, was really surprised to find out just how well DRC works
for several rooms that I've tried it in (when correcting for one spot,
of course). It simply removed any noticeable room effct from the sound
reaching my ears. I kept looking at the walls of the room, then at the
speakers, and just couldn't believe my ears that there was no apparent
interaction between the two. The illusion is THAT good.

That's normal. That's not a place where you should be shooting for, that
should be your starting point. You should expect a clean, solid, and
enveloping stereo image from any decent system.

started this thread, since I knew what kind of opinions I will get
from people who haven't heard the software in work. I've been
unwillingly dragged into a debate I willl never be able to win. I'm
giving my opinions here just out of respect for DRC's creator, who
have been developing it for the last several years at his free time,
as a hobby.

That's nice, but what does that have to do with anything either?
