Higher bitrates sound the same as 16/44.1. DSPs are great if you like their effect, but they aren't adding sound. They're only processing the sound that is already there.

My Sony WH-1000XM2 has DSEE HX. I've listened to it extensively and there is absolutely no audible difference with it on or off, at least not with AAC over Bluetooth. The sound quality of these headphones is so bad that the notion of including a "Hi-Res" DSP like DSEE HX is laughable. The drivers' horrendous natural response is already corrected with DSP, pushing them into distortion. Adding DSEE HX on top of this, even if it has benefits in theory, is pointless.
Dsp room correction is available with several high end speaker companies products now including Martin Logan....better get your wallet out though.Probably the neat thing is at first it comes off as a gimmick, but then you learn it really does what it’s intended and advertised to do. Obviously not everyone is going to appreciate it, but many do.
Normally audiophiles move away from such toys, though here it may be a blessing.
A room is random factor and thus correction is absolutely required for speakers. A headphone that does not naturally produce a desirable response is defective by design. Digital correction increases the already poor distortion of dynamic drivers.Dsp room correction is available with several high end speaker companies products now including Martin Logan....better get your wallet out hough.
Agreed.....most decent headphones are pretty flat though...DSP is probably best used to flatten bass response in room...highy unlikely you will get flat bass in any room unless your speakers have some kind of bass management system,regardless of price.A room is random factor and thus correction is absolutely required for speakers.
