DPS busts the myth about the ear orgasm.. I am not one for pricey, state-of-the-art audio equipment, but i will throw $30 at enhancing the quality of my experience of anything. I did not, however, expect the degree of upgrade this little app provides. I listen to itunes at work and whether its through earphones or the built in speakers on my mac, this app significantly increases the quality of sound. I’ve heard things on albums that I’ve been listening to for years that I’ve never heard before. in going through “The Wall” for the umpillionth time, i was frozen in my tracks at recognizing the sound of Jack Lemmon’s voice during the intro to “nobody home”. now, the different dialogues throughout the album are plain as day, but to be able to discern with unmistakable clarity what’s on tv in the background behind the screaming father’s voice followed by a little girl’s squeal of pain is an entirely different level. buy this plug-in… NOW

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.

We recently had legendary artist Mark Stein of the 70′s super group, Vanilla Fudge in our Power Station Studios located in Pompano Beach, FL. While Mark was recording he had a moment to check out the DPS Plug-In with producer and engineer, Joey Butera. Check out his reaction here-
