We all know how to use DSP to get the most accurate signal out of whatever setup we have. (Or do we?)
But accuracy can be bad if you listen to recordings of a wide range of mastering quality. Going from anything Steely Dan to Ahmad Jamal's The Awakening is flat out jarring. Is it possible to tune a DSP to narrow the bandwidth of sonic variation in a way that sacrifices accuracy but makes everything sound decent to good? Is this even possible to do with the parameters a DSP is limited to?
