I vote for YES. I watch alot of sports on channels which broadcast in either DPL, stereo, or mono. I always listen to these in the DPL or a DSP for the stereo/mono broadcasts. I agree some DSP's are worthless while others are very useful. I believe DPL II will be used for all if DPL II is what it is cracked up to be.

Input, settings, level memories is also important on a pre/pro. I have up to 3 tv's on at any one time. When I switch between video/audio sources it is nice to have the last settings remembered. ie. DD for DVD input and associated settings, DPL II and settings for TV input, direct and settings for CD input, etc.

Other features I like:
Adjustable crossovers are nice.
Direct access to modes (DD, DPL, Hall, statium, etc).
Backlit remote.
Station channel or letters for tuner. not preset number.

That's all for now.
Thanks for letting me play,
