A lot of people like DSP's, but I would think that the overwhelming majority of people who are in the market for separates don't have a need for them. This is probably even more the case with Outlaw customers.

Not only is there a pride of ownership derived from owning a factory-direct pre/pro of Outlaw quality, but you can also say that you have all the latest decoding algorithms, but just the ones that "matter."

I agree with most everyone else that DSP's sound artificial and generally muck up the sound. I also think that it will give you more freedom in making the user interface cleaner/easier if you can eliminate DSP's.

So... I vote a big NAY on DSP's....
and a big WOOT!! on DTS-ES discrete and DPL II.
