At least with my setup there isn't an easy way to save the output of HQPlayer. I'm sure it would be possible to cobble this up with the appropriate ASIO based shims, but I haven't found the need.
It is possible with readily available software to generate the room correction that I used. Actually, I started with measured frequency response and then used a parametric equalizer (VST plug in) to generate the required response. When I got this to measure and sound like I wanted, then I captured the impulse response and used this with HQPlayer. I can use VST plugins with other player software and get the same effect, but only for PCM as I the only PCM to DSD conversion that I have is that built into HQPlayer.
Incidentally, with my Mytek, I don't find it worth while to upsample PCM to DSD64 using HQPlayer. I prefer the original PCM or upsampling to 176.4 or 192. However, upsampling to DSD128 is another matter, probably because this is a sweat spot for this DAC.
