Ok, your answer to 2. makes a lot of sense and makes me happy because no unnecessary rate adaptions are happening.

My current audio setup is as follows:
- An RPi4 with Moode connected to a Topping E70
- The E70 is connected to a Concentra II amplifier that drives two Magneplaner MG1.6
- In addition the Pre-Amp out of the E70 is connected to an SVS SB 1000 Pro

The SB1000Pro contains an in-built DSP that I currently use to adapt the subwoofer to the MG1.6.
In addition I use CamillaDSP to adapt this joint loudspeaker system (The MG1.6 and the SB 1000 Pro) to the room.

This already works pretty well (some of the room‘s problems cannot be corrected).

But it might be even better to have the sub instead connected to a second DAC (e.g. a Topping E30) that in turn is also connected to the RPi4 and to do the correction I currently do in the subwoofer in CamillaDSP instead. Why? The sub receives the audio analog, digitizes it, does its transformation and converts back to analog.
I‘m not sure that this approach would yield an overall better sound, but it would be nice to know whether it could work in principle.
