Also, I'm 57 lol, so I do get it. I have a set of tweeters I have been trying to get to install for the last 18 months and simply cant get making the pillar adapters.
I used to listen to Dark Side of the Moon all the time. But now, every time I listen to the words of "Time" it just makes me sad.

"You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun".

A high end DSP is the ultimate goal. I wish there was a better way to get the pre-amp signal, though. The Axxess just basically ends up being a $500 line out converter to get signal to your $1000 Helix. A local Helix installer spent ten minutes assuring me that he could get the stock signal EQed properly, so I asked him how he could do two different modes to automatically account for the top up and down? He just looked at me like "What?"

I hear NAV-TV's new hardware is in Beta testing, so maybe I will have a choice in 2026 or so whenever I get everything else done. (Probably not cheaper though unless Pac Audio makes something...)
