That one comment make the rest of the review worthless to me. They may be great speakers but being tuned for Pro Tools means nothing.

Although why anyone needs D/A converters in their speakers when they're in their interfaces (such as M-Audio's) anyway is something of a mystery to me. Except for the digital ins, the DSM2 looks pretty close to the BX8a. at $299, and the DSM1 looks pretty similar to the BX5a at $199. Since you're going to need an interface that can sample at 24-bit/192 KHz to really take advantage of the DSM's 24-bit/192 KHz D/As and since any interface that can sample at 24/192 can also generate 24/192, what's the point?
