I have always been a huge fan of music. Going to the record store and picking up vinyl is still fun. Assuming you still have a record store in your town. I am also guilty of still listening to the CD. I usually have one CD in the car and I still listen to my favorites on my home audio system this way. Pristine audio is nice once in a while. If you compare it to your stock system in your car (playing an iPod) you will wonder why people are not still using CDs. However, I am on my PC or laptop when I work and I cannot help but stream audio. Pandora and various other streaming sites provide so so quality audio in the background of my day. I find it also useful in those situations where you are teaching someone a song on the guitar and your phone is in your pocket. Streaming Audio is convenience. We spend way more time online and on our phones. We like that sites like Pandora give us similar tastes. A way to hear new music that we might actually like. I feel the whole streaming audio and movies for that matter. I do it everyday. I still love to buy a piece of music that is top notch though. I guess mediocrity can stay in stream land.

The DPS Insider Forums
So we do a little bit of everything on the DPS Insider page. We have a regular blog you can look forward to seeing updated many times a week. We also have a great cast of people within the audio field listed on the front of the insider page. We welcome all of you to say hey to all of us. One of the greatest things we have for all audio related talk as well as tech questions for our DPS Plug In technology is our official DPS Forum. Posts range from your favorite band (or DJ) to people just asking how to fix or use something. No matter what it is all about audio and community. Click the link above and say hello, ask a question and be yourself.
Making your music sound great
I wanted to take a minute to talk about what makes the Digital Power Station truly unique among audio technologies… The DPS Plug-In has no fancy knobs or meters. It doesn’t have a Minority Report style user interface. It’s just a few buttons. So what gives? Why is it special?
It’s the people.
The buttons on the user interface switch between the different “profiles” you pick in the “preferences” window. So what is a “profile”? A DPS profile is definitely not your everyday “rock” or “jazz” or “hall” eq effect preset! Those presets-of-old tried to tailor the device to suit what you might want the music to sound like. Once you found the preset you liked on your old boombox it pretty much stayed that way, right? That ubiquitous smiley face eq curve. Or maybe you did it Twisted Sister style and slammed all those little eq sliders all the way up! \^^/,
Well, the DPS Profile is a whole new animal. The DPS technology is a powerful and adaptive tool that Bongiovi Acoustics audio engineers can use to optimize the audio for any device. And it is all done by hand.
Hence the people.
So a real live person (like Tony B, Phil or myself) sits down with the proper tools and “tunes” that audio device with the DPS technology to perform as close to an ideal as possible. The ideal we hold is the sound of music being played back in our studio control room. The control room is an acoustically accurate environment in which we have chosen speakers and amplifiers that match that space so we have the tools to create music that sounds great everywhere. The sound in our control room just reaches out and grabs you. And it also tells us what is right and wrong about the sound! So, short story long, the DPS technology optimizes an audio signal to be most efficient for a specific device. And that only happens after a Bongiovi Acoustics engineer has laid their hands on the thing.
