Ok I just got off the phone with Nav TV. The DSP is still a little way out from release. Now pricing. They didn’t give me an exact price because it hasn’t been firmed up at this time and “A few hundred dollars more” was said. He didn’t know exactly, but did say it wasn’t going to be double the price. Hopefully by the time I’m ready to order “Apr-May” it will be out. Till then I’ll just keep acquiring parts and save my $$
I hope that helps some of you on the fence about this.

Access also has an option in development and about to release to compete with that unit. The price point I was told was around half the cost.

I’ve looked into it and the MSRP of the unit is $509, but it doesn’t have enough channels. Looks to me like 5. I need to be able to control 9-10. That’s part of the reason the Bit One won’t work for me.

That being said, if someone installing the unit wants to control 10 channels of output with an external dsp and doesn't care about digital output, you truly only need 2 channels of full range signal from one set of RCA's off the access unit to your dsp. Music is recorded left and right. There's no front, back, side, left of center, right of center, center. All of that is processing. Before processing it's left and right. In this case, the access unit is a great value with only a small degradation in signal. Not audibly noticeable. Then your dsp can process and split to as many channels as your dsp can handle.

Any update on when the DSP update is being released? They had originally told me late 2018 and here we are in March 2019 with no sign of it.... Had I known, I would have gone a different direction. Here I am sitting with a big pile of parts and the only thing holding back my install is the DSP software...

A dsp can take years to develop. Look at mosconi and helix. I paid 750.00 as well, even though I knew I would be using a Helix DSP Pro MK2. The reason I bought the Zen is not for the dsp but because it provides the highest quality digital signal one can retrieve out of the oem headunit. As someone who is competing in SQ, this factor and having a tried and true dsp with a reputation and history was more important.
