I'll start by saying that this thread is by my own doing, and not at the request of Classe. They do read these threads but don't expect them to participate.
Now that the SSP-800 is out, what features/ capability would you like to see added?
I think its a moot point to mention the DSP board, as we know they are already working on it and it comes out when they are ready for it. This is a place where we can give feedback to Classe and maybe they will add it.
I'll keep this post updated so people can easily see what everyone is requesting.
Feature Requests:
EQ
Features(I put both because I don't know which is better but I want the power to decide for myself)
Configuration
Remote Control
Hardware

Feature Requests:
EQ
- Automated EQ. Audyssey? Trinnov? Automate the existing PEQ? There is no perfect solution for everybody and technology is always changing, but I think Classe should at least offer a way for the existing PEQ to be automated. It only stands to benefit everybody. Perhaps 3rd party products can be offered a-la-carte as extra purchases.
- License a 3rd party software, such as XTZ, and build an interface that allows you to hook your computer up to the SSP-800 via USB and apply recommendations from the Analyzing software directly to the onboard EQ.
- interface change from "Band 1, 2, 3, etc." to displaying the frequency chosen once it has been set. Make an easy way to reference the filters that have been set. Right now you have to hunt around. Did I put that 30Hz filter on Band 2 or Band 3?
- Allow for return to factory setting for the EQ only settings
- If Classe implements an AutoEQ, it needs to have the ability to override the decisions of the computer manually.
Features(I put both because I don't know which is better but I want the power to decide for myself)
- Dolby Headphone (5.1 virtualizer). current TagMcLaren has it, But the Tag has no HDMI inputs--so no go for hi rez 5.1 sources. Even if the SSP-800 has no headphone jack (neither does Tag), it could use the Aux outputs for headphones when switched to non-speaker mode The MDS DAE-6D already has the code built in, so it would be easy to implement.
* allow the PEQ to operate with its own memory so the user can tweak the headphone EQ without disturbing the speaker EQ.
Configuration
- Allow copy of one cofiguration to another.
- an option to switch on/off the display manually. I deactivated all events for display and set a timeout, but there are still moments the display automatically turns on.
- a way to choose between a linear increase/decrease of volume via the remote or the smart increase/decrease
Remote Control
- skip configurations that are not in use when selecting a pre configuration
- display the name of the configuration while in the configuration setup (as is in input setup)
- sub(s) on/off for fkey assignment
- e-bass on/off for fkey assignment
Hardware
- include a boffo headphone driver circuit and dedicated jack.
