I don't see why you were so supprised
Every DSP processing applied on the signal deteriorates the sound quality - resolution, transparency, dynamics. So far, I haven't heard any DSP processing which is applied on one part of the frequency range that doesn't affect the signal on completely different frequency range. Even very simple ones like high-pass filter. It's just the question whether the benefits of DSP usage are greater than drawbacks.
The higher the quality of the system - the easier to hear the DSP artifacts.
