You should do whatever makes you happy.   
AI (Audiogon Intelligence)
It’s true the computer itself can’t “feel” but it can synthesize data. Data provided by others about music can be synthesized to allow the computer to “think” similarly. What we feel is based on what we think so….  
AI (Audiogon Intelligence)
@tonywinga Neither of those is a barrier to AI. The interesting part will be how it is biased compared to others.  We all are only able to process and draw conclusions based on the information available to us and same with a computer.   
TAS. The Absolute Sound?
Could it be it’s not quite  so absolute these days? Things ain’t what they used to be.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?

DSP? Does it really do that much???
You can lead a horse to water.....   Here is a fairly easy thing to try in Roon that can deliver big results and demonstrate the power of DSP done well in a particular application. Can you listen to Roon with headphones? If so what model? For t... 
A.I. music
The good news is if you ever wonder what might have happened if The Beatles and Pink Floyd merged to form a supergroup in 1970, you may be able to find out very soon. Or what if Bach joined Led Zeppelin?   Wouldn't that be interesting!  
DSP? Does it really do that much???
Tech dive... Under the covers, DSP converts the digital music signal from time to frequency domain. Now in frequency domain there is a data point for as many frequencies as needed (more needed the higher the resolution) and the signal processing ... 
DSP? Does it really do that much???
Agree best approach is let the DSP at hand do its thing first and then "tweak" the sound from there to one’s preference. You can do that in Roon DSP for example by defining mutliple filters that all work together, one to correct the room, others ... 
DSP? Does it really do that much???
What actually happens to make it do what it does if it does much Beyond what tone controls do?? It’s all done in the digital signal processing domain so anything is possible from the equivalent of simple analog tone controls to sophisticated co...

FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Best to do these things in a manner that does not impact customers whenever possible, but if they are beefing up the performance and an outage is required then it should be worth it.   Note:  I am in Maryland USA, a Qobuz subscriber, and I do no...

Hopefully it just becomes a new genre, but knowing how things work (ie follow the money, cut costs) probably not. Ai has huge potential to be used or abused and who will even know the difference?  
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
I am familiar with that vintage gear having sold many back in the day.   Currently the music room has a modern well reviewed but vintage looking NAD c3050 integrated amp available. That and chose your speakers there for a nice modern upgrade for ... 
DSP? Does it really do that much???
DSP is just a tool. It’s what is done with it case by case that matters. The devil is in the details. Done right it can be a game changer.
