What I think you are trying to ask about is processing features. Things like time alignment, equalizer, or crossover capability.

These are things you can find in some headunits, some amps, and some stand alone processors. You need to decide which features are important to you, and make sure something in your equipment list has it.

Another thing to consider is how much adjustment you will need in any particular feature (like EQ bands and levels), and how much you intend on tinkering with it. If it's something you are going to **** around with a lot, its much easier to push buttons on your head unit while in your primary listening position than it is to pop 5 interior panels to get to your amp.
Don't get me wrong I care about the features but I am more interested in the improved sound that comes from a head unit with a dedicated digital signal processor but then again I am not sure if a DSP chip is just marketing like you said. I have a bad habit of over thinking every decision and I've seen 3 brands Joying, Eonon, and AutoShop offer a head unit with DSP & 4 GB of ram. I am trying to decide if DSP is worth getting cause it will affect my decision.
