I never use DSP modes. If they will take extra space on the chip that can be used for future upgradeability, that's a double no...

Thumbs up. I am not fond of then as abything moew than a fun gadget to play with from time to time, but their presence does not take away from anything, except to annoy a few grouchy folks, but they add ti the experience of a few people who really like them.

Yes to DSPs, but limit them to a useful set. I never use any of the DSPs on my Yamaha receiver. The gimmicky processing and added reverb just don't sound realistic. The only DSPs that I would be interested in are 5/7 channel stereo with a derived center, similar to Lexicon's Party mode, and a DSP mode to provide some derived ambience from old mono movies. I'm planning to replace the Yamaha with separates in the near future. Features such as these may make the decision easier

Keep it Simple Outlaws. I vote no to complexity. Rarely do I use the DSP's on my Elite receiver. Looking forward to the 950 coming out.

Thumbs Down. DSP doesnt fit your target market

Yes.

Cost is stated as not an issue. The inclusion of DSP modes will not adversely affect the sound quality of the piece. It is only smart business to design a product that will be useful and appeal to the widest market. If DSP features help sell a good product, and thus make a good company more successful, then why should anyone complain?

Good luck to Outlaw (and me, I'd like to try one of these).

Nay on the DSP modes. I've never found any of them useful.

Thumbs down on DSP

I say nay to the DSP modes.

I was going to say yes, but then I remembered - no feature is ever free. And I'd rather the Outlaws work on getting the things that really matter - sound quality, reliability and value done right than spending even a second thinking about how to fit a bunch of random DSP modes into the menus (or having to explain them in the docs, QA that they're working as designed, etc).

So I vote - skip 'em. The product sounds like it'll be great enough already without them.
