The app is great. I really have no complaint at all with the unit. I have experienced an issue where my joying android head unit will not Bluetooth connect to the dayton processor but my phone will, so I'm certain the head unit just isn't going to allow this type of connection. I could possibly get around this problem and keep my head unit if I were able to plug this into the USB port on the unit and run it that way, but I believe this app only supports Bluetooth. This isn't Dayton's fault

Pros I love it, and you could change every aspect right down to the number on every setting. A few things I do not like is 1 you have to rotate the screen to see all the EQ sliders. Another thing I do not like is that in order to use the remote volume knob you have to turn the app off within the app with the power button on the top right and last but not least I hate the fact that the app does not reload previous settings every time it reconnect to the DSP it should reload last preset please

I've had my DSP 408 for several years and have found the if you use a cheap stylus pen to make your peq +/- slider adjustments it's easier than using your finger on your phone. I also just got a new laptop and found out there's a high, and low shelf +/- adjustments you can only make on a computer / laptop. This feature isn't available on the phone app. So, I'd really like to know when will the high/low shelf filters be available on the phone app. ?

Blew out my tweeters when using the Bluetooth app due to uncontrolled popping signal spikes. (the unit works fine on usb). Really unforgivable. It will actually damage your system. Very outrageous.

App works great when it works. I love the option of using my phone to make adjustments on the go and not have to drag laptop out. Problem is that as soon as they are made and start listening to music the app disconnects itself within a couple of minutes every time making it very aggravating. If you have the volume up loud, and you need to lower quickly forget it since the app will have disconnected, and you have to go through whole process of opening app and connecting Bluetooth just to turn it down

Streaming doesn't work and support won't respond. No matter what I do there is no audio when trying to use the Bluetooth streaming option. I have tried multiple android phones and an iPad and cannot get anything to play. I do hear it switch over from my noisy RCA Bluetooth dongle but with the volume maxed there is nothing. The RCA inputs do work. I have updated the firmware on the DSP. I contacted support over 2 weeks ago via the contact form on their site and have received nothing.
