I can understand your dismissal of using DSP in an "audiophile hi-end stereo system" but what about using DSP and DRC (digital room correction) to produce a stereo system that is not only much less costly but also much less complicated (music server + an all-in-one stereo speaker system) than a more traditional hi-end stereo system and yet, now here is the kicker, sounds at least as good as the traditional stereo system. Good sound that affordable for many more people, is that so bad?
