As far as I know, not, in any model. My amp has Dirac, it was the reason I got it but it's a specific case
No discussion then - big advantage soundvise with the ultra using peq.
Is there even a good sounding 24 bit volume control on the bluesounds, through spdif ?
Also very important question
Did you have Ultra and Nano for tests?
AFAIK Dirac license must be paid additionally.

No I am going by early reviews
I see. You have no experience at all how these devices sound.

Not going by this ealry review: "The Wiim Ultra comparison proved to be the hardest to judge. I threw a number of tracks at the Ultra and Node Nano that should have revealed any inherent differences, like Steely Dan’s Hey Nineteen, Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, and Billie Eilish’s bad guy. I just couldn’t tell them apart."

Bluesound Node Nano review: mini music streamer; big sound | Digital Trends
Bluesound's Node Nano is its most affordable hi-res music streamer, and yet it doesn't skimp on what matters most: great sound.

So I guess you value my experience more than CAM. Thanks.

300 smackeroos for a plastic box which the Wiim mini can better? Move on 
The amount depends from gears involved. After results I tasted at home and in some others environments, I can say it worth the cost. After all, even things apparently free, in some way reclaim their fee...
It is not realistic for me to have end effect quality difference between this two dacs as significant as effect before and after peq correction (especially when gear and room definitely need one). Even difference between cheap but relative good $20 dac and $300 dac is not as significant (it is, and is big, but simply not as huge) as effect before and after own measurments, correction and adjustments.
Regarding dirac, I do not have experience with this method, but as I understand this his form of paid auto correction? If yes, auto is still auto.

Is this the same Cam who says "am I going to say on record that it's significantly better than a Wiim Pro or a Wiim Pro Plus, no I'm not, they sound very very similar" in this video?

No the CAM with the beard, in his home office and the Pomeranian going off in the background.

The constant updating and tweaking of the software and firmware is what makes Wiim stand out.
I mean they have recently added the room correction function.

It's "semi auto". Software is running on pc or Mac and with less options on iPhone or Android and tells you were put microphone on seventeen points around listening area. Then you can edit or load desired target curve, generate filters and sent them to gear... It's best quality is in time alignment of low drivers, a sub with Dirac will never be the same.
Maybe it's just a coincidence but in the last 10 months I have had Bluos, just two fix updates came out and in both cases they introduced new very big problems, requiring post and not so fast interventions to make it usable again...
