RE: Neither, play the DSD.

If you can get a set of convolution impulses out of Dirac live, then you can possibly put the DSD through HQPlayer and get the same room correction without loss of any resolution. This is what I do with 2 channel DSD recordings, but my processor is not fast enough to handle multiple channels or to upsample the result to DSD128.

I use a parametric equalizer, no phase response, for my room EQ. I put an impulse through the VSP equalizer with the settings that I chose and then passed the resulting two second impulse file to HQPlayer. It can prcoess it without requiring any downsampling. at least assuming the correction is just in the bass. I don't believe this will work for multichannels without a real fast (e.g. gaming) CPU. My dual core 3.2 GHz i5 650 can barely handle two channels of DSD at DSD64 in and out.

Definitely the room correction is more than worth the degradation in sound quality with a down conversion to 176.4 if you can't stay at 2.8 MHz sampling rate.
