Like anything else in electronic design, it is all about compromises. No resistor is an ideal resistor and no audio circuit is an ideal audio circuit.
I remember when Meridian Audio came out with their active digital speakers in the mid-80's, and I have to admit they sounded better than a lot of other speakers, even though digital has never been to my taste. In certain circumstances -- and it sounds like you are in those circumstances, a DSP is a reasonable solution that may improve the audio quality.
FWIW, I had excavated and installed a dedicated grounding rod at my old house for my audio system, but at the new house, it has not been necessary.
Ultimately, there are a lot of solutions out there, and the key is knowing if the problems you are encountering in your audio system require a particular solution.
