I never heard this concept and after looking online I need to say that it does look very slick and very smart. There is a problem with DBA however. The DBA is a very nice way to deal with the room modes and I presume that if the DBA is properly implemented then it will be no room problem. However, it says nothing about the quality of bass itself. In my estimation the complexity of making a playback to have good bass are 70-80 about bass structure and the rest is about the room response. Room might have horrible nodes but ironically that might be corrected by bass output if you run narrow octave bass module. However, if the bass has wrong structure then there is nothing there might be done. An excessive bass volume is something that a person get accustomed and mind tunes it off and correct it eventually. The wrong bass structure is not brain-correctable and will be always there as some kind of alien force.

This is my main issue with DBA as well.  It looks promising on paper but has been taken up mainly by home cinema people as far as I can tell and there has not been a discussion about the quality of the bass.  Plus I have never heard it or even know where there would be one to go and listen to in a two channel setup.  It won't work in my room so I won't be trying it.
