### 1/5 — Can connect with IPhone

*2024-10-07*

I’ve tried a bit to get this to connect with Bluetooth and I can’t seem to get it to work. An update would be nice to say the least. It’s been 6 years

### 5/5 — Great app. Feel like pro DJ.

*2024-03-15*

It would be awesome if - button on main volume is built little far away from mute button. Every time using - button, it hits mute button. Thank you

### 2/5 — Buggy but powerful tool.

*2021-12-28*

I use this DSP in my car and it's given me the tools to tune my system the way I want. Using Bluetooth, the app is a little buggy and some things need a fix immediately. The Bluetooth adapter is expensive for what it does and fit it to act this way is unacceptable. 

Why can't we use high/low shelf filters? 

Why does it take 5 minutes to load into the DSP-408 sometimes? (Is it because of a random slow/high latency Bluetooth connection? Isn't this stuff stored on the DSP? What kind of data does it need to push through Bluetooth that it takes forever to simply connect sometimes???)

Presets seemingly don't work correctly sometimes and is worrying when spending an hour or so tuning to possibly have it not save correctly. 

My phone always is connected to the DSP when it's on (Bluetooth) and tires to play sounds though it even though streaming is disabled. Why? This Is annoying and unplugging the Bluetooth isn't easy in my install location in my car. Unpairing from it seems like a silly thing to have to do but that might be the only work around besides unplugging the dongle. 

RCA was unusable in my car. Which was a fear I've heard about from reviews. My RCA cables were 1.5 feet long and nowhere near power runs besides the unavoidable one at the head unit next to the RCA outs. It's something to do with the RCA cable carrying noise from the head unit. Maybe ground loop but not sure how to fix that. But speaker level output is dead silent. It can only take about 7-8v of speaker level before clipping the input. So don't be afraid to reduce something so it stays within save levels. 

Until those issues are addressed. I only recommend the DSP-408 to people that are aware of its shortcomings. If you're not using Bluetooth, then more than half of these issues won't bother you. But if you're looking at this app. Then you are considering it or have it. 

With all that said. My system has never sounded better.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Utility

*2021-04-11, version 1.0.2*

No idea what the other reviewers issue was?! It’s a very effective speaker hobbiest life saver. BT’ed laptop with REW and UMIK mic to Toppings DX3 Pro, then loaded this app and BT’ed to Dayton Audio DSP in seconds. Real time adjustments, fine tuning to all channels sitting on the couch. Can control the whole system at a whim now. Tuned the by-amped towers from ‘okay’ to absolute ‘silk’ in 20 minutes.

### 3/5 — Crashing with iOS 14.2

*2020-11-19*

App crashes immediately iOS 14.2 iPhone XS Max, use to work great.

### 1/5 — Not good for a tuner guy who likes to constantly make adjustments

*2020-05-03, version 1.0.2*

The Bluetooth connection to adjust the settings, rarely works on the first try, or the thirtieth try.  So frustrating, going to swap back out to my Rockford dsp as it doesn’t have this issue.

### 4/5 — DSP-408

*2019-06-08*

The app is user friendly and it works well. The Bluetooth connection does randomly disconnect at least once a day. Also a landscape view mode would be helpful.

### 4/5 — Dayton Audio DSP

*2019-05-06*

App needs a password function to protect settings from out side users.
