I almost never use those silly DSP modes. Some of them you can't even tell the difference between anyway...

However, I think they should be included, in some obscure place, just so people don't call it "not fully featured" and people don't get confused in the menu stuff. In order not to clutter the menu, just add one menu option named somethink like "extras" and throw all the useless crap in there.

I currently have a receiver with 16 dsp modes
and have tried them all to see what the difference is and haven't used them at all.
Now my wife on the other hand likes to use the Disco setting because of the echo yuck!!
Well to each his own I say so I would take it either way as long as it did not compromise performance.

No for DSP. I will buy Sony if I need DSP.

No, never use the ones I have....just extra clutter.

Nay. No DSPs, please.

No - I never really use them - I'm anxious to hear Pro Logic II.

Nay on the DSP modes. While they have a certain 'neat' factor, I don't think I have ever used one on my current reciever.

The only one that might be nice is something to expand a mono movie soundtrack across the front soundstage a bit.

Music DSP's are not for me. My old Yamaha had a few and I never liked any of them enough to use them. So, if there were no "Hall", "Disco", or "K-Mart" I would definately not miss them.

Thumbs down, unless the DSP can be improved on, for example: The Sony DRE-S777, here is a quote from Sony "The DRE-S777 Sampling Digital Reverb is a unique reverb processor, which derives it's sound not from artificially generated algorithms, but from actual impulse response samples of real acoustic spaces"
This unit is approx. $7.500 and is pro-level gear. I have used it and the DSP modes it provides are superb. Only if Outlaw can get just a few of these samples and incorporate them into the 950.

DPL II and nothing else!
