I think a lot of audiophiles could do a reasonable job of this on their own. There are also units like Lyngdorf and DEQX which will do it for you (and also replace DACs and/or preamps) if you don't want to fool around with software. 

 

One has to be careful with thinking that units like DEQX will "solve most problems" - I've heard what this unit does a number of times; and it most certainly doesn't eliminate audible distortions that are caused by system issues - in fact, it could make them worse; a highly modified unit still suffered from tonality changes as it warmed up; and it did nothing to help get the bass line to be presented correctly.
