You can measure the results in the same way that you measure the room in the first place in order to decide what adjustments you're going to make. You've git exactly the same problem if you use Devialet's Sweet Room.
Yes, there can be a lot of trial and error in the process but the only way to reduce that is by using an amp which includes technology like Dirac and even then you're probably going to have to use different software to measure the results.
DSP is an acronym for Digital Signal Processing. Sweet Room and Dirac both use DSP but don't rely on a parametric equaliser function. Roon can also use filters like those which Dirac and Sweet Room use, you don't have to use Roon's parametric equaliser which also uses DSP but is a separate function. Yes, DSP can introduce artifacts into the sound but so do any digital process you apply including the basic operations of a DAC. Anything you do with a digital signal can introduce artifacts just as anything you do with an analog system can introduce harmonic and/or intermodulation distortion and noise. Digital or analog, there is no way to completely avoid problems occurring in the signal path. Every thing you do to or with the signal has a cost. You can't avoid some level of DSP with a Devialet because no matter what resolution your input digital signal is, it's going to be upsampled to 392 kHz, analog signals are going to be converted to digital and upsampled, and then it's going to go through the DAC and other processes associated with the digital part of the analog digital hybrid amp and the Devialet delivers extremely transparent sound so it's possible to use DSP with minimal costs. If you really believe that DSP introduces artifacts which are detrimental then you should be avoiding amps with digital inputs and/or room correction functionality because it's impossible to avoid some level of DSP with such amps.
