Pardon my saying so, but it has more pizazz than jacobsonized. Most every thing I use has been modifies to suit my taste or fancy.

Well, the DSP (if there is one) adds much less cost to the laptop than the CPU does.

Well, of course it's commonplace. CD players, first generation, used complex tuned/trimmed output filters, and were quickly superseded by much-cheaper units, with equal or better performance, that used oversampling (a classic DSP technique).

Every MP3 player, cellphone, digital camera, which h as both digital and analog functions, uses some kind of DSP if the designers can find a benefit (usually, that's not hard).
