I vote "thumbs up."

I am a fan of DPS's - but only GOOD ones. Of course, this is subjective. I have owned a couple of "good" DSP receivers - Yamahas. Many say that Yamaha is second only to Lexicon in its implemetations of DSP's.

But even with Yamaha, I only used a handful - not the 40 that were available. I'd shoot for: DPL2 (of course), 5 channel stereo, 3 channel stereo, a subtle mode, a jazz mode. The rest get hokey fast.
