Can someone give me a rundown on the software that's included with this? Enhancements/levels/settings, etc. Does it have a graphic equalizer?

No equalizer but if you're using it with a PC, you can equalize on the PC (with on board RealTek), then connect via Optical out. My Setup is I use a Creative Soundblaster Omni (Equalizer here) Optical out > Optical In to Creative HD USB DAC > Line out Y-cable out to Tanoy 502 Studio Monitors > Y cable to ancient Creative T7700 Subwoofer. Effectively 'separates'.

No equalizer. Driver will draw an overlay on display when you adjust volume.

Personal experience from myself is no as most modern PCs have realtek HD audio or something comparable. If you do buy this the actual controller has a built in equalizer that you need to work with to get the best sound.

First check batteries on remote. This unit has a 3D sound feature on the remote. It's either off or on. It has no equalizer presets but the nice part is that you have seperate bass and trebel controls. I prefer this rather than presets. I hope this answers your question.

Just one equalizer control for the amp. Level and fx control for each input. A very good amp.

I am not sure about lossless. Sounds fantastic however. No detectable latency. See my other comments too. Low end was a problem they are working on. I am not sure they have fixed it yet. Without a sub, you'll probably not notice.

I recently purchased the TV and am quite happy with the display. I wasn't very happy with the sound, but selected the customize (equalizer) option from the menu and adjusted it to my ears. Once adjusted, the sound was noticeably better and acceptable. However, if you want really good audio, I recommend you run the sound through a receiver and good speakers.

I haven't found a way to connect an equalizer to this unit. The Marantz does not seem to have a pass-through tape monitor. I did not contact Marantz yet about this. If you find a way, let me know.

not on the speakers themselves. but i went into my equalizer on itunes and fooled around with it until i found the setting i liked. for me, it was "electronic" that sounded best.

You can install a driver, which I would highly recommend, you can adjust many settings from there. But I have played many games with this and for the price of $38 you cant get a better deal.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

I don't know anything about an equalizer? I've had it a couple of years and it works great, the only issue I've had is that sometimes the sound doesn't transfer thru and I have to re-select the device, I have 2 computers, and a dvd player going to my tv thru it, it was a good deal

Not exactly sure what that is, but it does have different equalizer settings that depending on the setting does enhance the voice. Clarify your question if you could.

DSP version has studio monitor emulation feature for headphone mixing, which is pretty cool. This is the version I have. Apart from that, they are exactly the same. I'd say get DSP. No reason to pay more for less. Looks like this one is sold through Proaudiostar, and the other is direct through amazon. Different sellers would account for different pricing, probably.

no, there is also no equalizer controls, just pre sets. but, I work in a foundry that's very loud and even with the noise and ear plugs in I can hear the music! it's loud...

It has a different set of equalization. Plus manual bass subwoofer and hight frequency

That is a drawback with this unit as it doesn't have a customizable equalizer. I will say that this is less of a problem with this Creative player than most others. I am currently using this and a Sansa clip +, the sound, especially using bluetooth is much better than the Sansa which does have the customizable equalizer. Many people get around this by installing Winamp ( which I have) since it's an android based player there are software solutions available. Fortunately the Creative hardware is excellent which definitely helpsl

As it was Marantz's flagship receiver (7009 has a few additional features), I'd say that is the last step before going separate... The equalizer is accessed through the GUI and is straight forward to use. The EQ, I believe, only has 9 or 10 ranges of frequency response where the Audyssey XT-32 has like 10,000 points of equalization that it can adjust for room correction. I'm running my 7008 with 9.2 speakers. I used 8 positions for setup but then adjusted the gain a bit to suit my taste...I like the rears to sound a little more active so brought those up a few DB. I also prefer a little more gain from my subs so I bring those up a little when watching something with a rockin' LF track.
