It’s invisible, powerful, and everywhere: DSP. In this episode, we explore digital signal processing and its growing role in high-end audio, with guidance from The Audiophile’s Guide. From room correction and crossover tuning to upsampling and EQ, DSP can shape the sound in ways analog never could. But is it always a good thing? When does it help—and when does it get in the way? If you’re chasing purity but tempted by control, this episode unpacks both sides.
