Possibly, I don't know. The method I have mentioned above supports any VST, including (as shown above) convolution filter VSTs, even when playing games. Maybe there is another method using Roon, but I don't have Roon, so I don't know if there is an alternative method.
Thanks for sharing that... As I thought, you can download a filter profile to Roon from REW or maybe other apps, the problem is that unless you have a headphone response target and a calibrated system REW filters will not work correctly because they won't map to a proper target.
Your best bet for DSP is to just work off the measurements posted on ASR to adjust relative to the Harman response we targeted. Anything else is just guesswork...

When I tell people that there is no device in the market that can replace it for me, they often think I am exaggerating but I am not. I am very honest. There is just no other device in the market that comes even close to the possibilities of this unit. I remember, developers were asking the users what to do with the extra DSP processing power left. They even implemented a RIAA mode - I guess in their free time

thanks for this. is the only measurement a reduction of gain to -2 in band1?
I got an excellent response on the RME ADI 1 FS using recommended changes for the Expanse from r/Oratory. Wanted to see how I could get something similar in my current holoaudio listening rig.

In ROON you can use the Parametric EQ to manually and one-by-one add the Oratory settings.
I myself use a Mac as a source, and use SoundStudio with the AUNBandEQ AppleAU plugin. You can real-time drag certain EQ settings, and hear the effect immediately. In SoundStudio you can also select an Oratory curve directly, and apply it (I think it sounds "too thin").

It seems you can put a target curve in REW. Some Harman Target curves can be found here. I never played with it myself though. Advantage of a convolution filter is that it also considers the temporal behaviour (e.g. reflections and resonances - which you already process mechanic-acoustically with the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System).
Measured curves are of great help, and makes sure you at least know what you are doing. Without it you are guessing, and optimising the sound on specific recordings.
My experience with trying to make a perfect fit to the Harman Target are not so good. The sound becomes thin and sizzly with the Expanse (a bright haze).
When I do the same for my Sennheiser HD660, the resulting sound characteristic is pretty different. I even tried to make one sound like the other. Not even close... There is more than just the frequency response that determines the sound characteristics (temporal behaviour, distortion, dynamic compression, ear-headphone interaction, exact position of the headphone on your head, ...).
What made you decide on that? I've been eyeing the Expanse on the classifieds but I haven't been able to justify owning both Stealth and Expanse since they're so similar..
I tried the composer and score last weekend. It's fantastic. didn't get a lot of time with it at the UK audio show but really thinking of getting it.
How does it run on the RME compared to the score?

The thing about the Harman curve is it was made on a GRAS 45CA with specific mics and ears… you can certainly import the target but unless you have a 45CA with the right ears what you measure will not match what a GRAS measures so you will have a mapping error… each measuring system would have to have an adaptation of the Harman to match its behavior.
