Topic: ADI-2 DAC limitation of EQ

Hello friends,
I've finally got RME ADI-2 DAC up and running, very happy so far;

one thing I noticed is, bands 4 and 5 of the EQ cannot go lower than 200Hz,
I'm trying to "fix" my mediocre room (and primarily explore the features of the DAC),
using Room EQ Wizard I'm targeting 40-300Hz range and sadly despite I can fit in 5 filters, there is ALWAYS 4th around 170-185Hz area - what steps to EQ adjustments shall I do then?
I'm testing RME's "Bass Boost" to take care of lowest EQ band negative gain (which luckily is same for both monitors at 60Hz for my measurements), but the limit of -6dB and 1.5Q will leave some bump - not sure if that's best compromise, but will at least let me use 3 lower EQ bands to reach 170-185Hz correction area
any thoughts (apart from properly treating my room, which indeed would be an "optimal" future step)?

thanks for heads up
~T.
