I have never used a DSP since I have been in the hobby. Keep the menus simple.

eh!

Thumbs down. I like to check the difference in sound between the modes but invariably always revert back to the original. It is not a necessity but if it can be added at no cost then it should be incorporated.

If there's any chance that it'll increase Outlaw's sales, given that nothing else will suffer, I'd include them. I'm not likely to use them, though.

Actually, if it will not degrade the performance of "more serious" DSPs, then why not? A dedicated processor should be feature rich.

No thanks on additional DSP modes. Even though you will be supplying discreet codes for the Pronto, I don't see any reasons for offering them on this type of equipment. People who like them usually are the types that shop only at Best Buy for recievers and they feel like they get more "bang for their buck" by having them available.

Please just say "NO" to DSP!

Thumbs down on other DSPs if DPLII works as advertized

I'll toss in my "no thanks" for the "extra" DSP modes. I never used them on my Yamaha, and I haven't used them on my 1050.

If they are included, it'd be good for the interface to keep them somewhat "out of the way" so you don't need to stumble past them to get to something else.

REVISED: I still don't want the extra DSP modes (I'm thinking of DPLII as a separate issue, that is very valuable), and I'd really like not having to skip through them to get from 2-channel to DPLII or the DD/DTS surround mode and back to 2-channel. At the same time, though, there may be a real danger to leaving them out entirely -- complete omission may be a weakness in some consumers' and reviewers' eyes. As some others have said here, a reviewer (or a consumer) very often may have a checklist of "standard" options that includes DSP modes. I'd hate to see Outlaw lose business because they aren't there. I'd also prefer to be able to completely forget they're there if I don't want to use them (perhaps a separate category/control for them?).

Thumbs Up to dsp's. It's better to have than not.

I vote NO for DSP modes. DPLII is worth including, but after that, nothing is necessary besides a nice two channel analog pass through.
