I consider the DR260 the most common DSP on the market and the minimum DSP I'll use on any system. My monitor, front and side fill racks use them.

They've been dropping in price on ebay lately, they used to run around $600 but can now be had for 4~5 hundred.

I'll bet that Harmon hasn't changed or discontinued it because of it's popularity. I'll also speculate that as Harmon has consolidated brand manufacturing, their cost per unit has gone down over the years so their profit per unit has gone up. Why change a winning formula?

I'd venture a guess to say its next on the block for discontinuation or a MAJOR upgrade.  Harman doesn't care a lick about what they sell for on the used market.  What they do care about (on the bean-counter side, at least) is accurately forecasting a sales quota and hitting it because that's what corporate bean-counters do.  On the R&D, techie, support side they need to reposition it in the market and reclaim some of the ground they've lost to other brands.  Imagine if they had an update just to the interface and connectivity features alone without touching anything else and the street price for a new one was about $599.00.  Think they'd sell a few?

That was my guess as well. Use a "new" product as a test bed for new features before adapting them into your flagship products to be sure they're solid. Dropping the 260 seems like a really bad idea unless they subsequently re-release it as a "new" product or give it a complete overhaul.

Has anyone else had problems with the new DR PA2 RTA mic not working? DBX tech support says they have never seen this problem before.

It was my understanding that the RTA setup on any of them was more of a hassle than a help. Better off to use a standalone tuning setup and input manually then tweak to taste.

True that.

I have had mine freeze up once and continually increase the volume of the test tone into mic clipping. Due to shortage of time i did everything manually, but since then its behaved liked it should, i use my MacBook and my iPhone (wish they would make an actual iPhone version for easier use and viewing vs use the same user interface for all devices). Other than that one hiccup its worked flawlessly and the RTA is definitely an improvement over the PA+ i would say its worth the upgrade for that alone. Anybody else have any experience or tips or tricks with the PA2?
