I feel Dsp modes are a great feature for an upsell, I never have found them all that usefull. Having owned a few "High End Receivers" (Yamaha, Denon, B&K) Currently
I am using a B&K Ref 20 since april of 2000
and I'm still wrestling with going back to my Nakamichi Ca1 (Superb 2 Channel no DTS minimal bass management). So added frills for sacrifice of audio reproduction hmmm... what's the point? Having said that the level we of sound quality that is available at an affordable price, it's a no brainer,I
feel my comments are pertinent no matter anyone's Audio/Home Theatre ratio as well as a venture into DVD-A/SACD.....
