Looking under System Settings/Device Information/Details my device shows "DSP Date November 10, 2015"
What does this mean? Says in the manual it is "the date the DSP version was released," Which I assume is the date the actual chip was manufactured?. Is there any correlation to the approximate date of manufacture of the overall device?

Well, "DSP Date November 10, 2015" ain't gonna appear on a machine manufactured and purchased in 2012, so I s'pose there must be some correlation, Sonic.
The date when the DSP code was compiled (which is always at least a bit older than the date of the firmware package itself.

Clarification please: When you say firmware package are you referring to the OS revision? And regarding the DSP date relative to the firmware package date, what would be considered a bit older....a couple months or a whole year?
The "kaos.bin" is the firmware (package). It contains the DSP code, too. It is usually not older than a few days. Actually, you don't need to give any though on that.

Under details is says my OS rev is 3.3 and dated March 7 2016, while the DSP date is November 2015.
So that DSP date sounds normal for machine that was recently manufactured nearly a year later (Sept/Oct timeframe of 2016)?
No. Rev 3.3 has DSP code that hasn't changed since Novembe 2015. That's all. You can not determine the manufacturing date from this.
Got it, an OS rev potentially contains a DSP rev. In this specific instance the DSP rev is not just a bit older, rather 3-4 months older than the OS rev, that's what confused me.
Thanks much for clarifying.

This would explain why post-FW 3.3 Rigs are compatible only as far back as the v3.3 OS, 'cause that's when Kemper made some critical changes to the DSP code with the v3.3 that's on your machine (in preparation for the v4 Morphing and possibly other things)... if I'm reading this correctly.
So did the DSP date change post OS rev 3.3 or is it still November 2015? Asked another way, if somebody upgraded to the new OS rev (what is it now 5.x?) what would the DSP date then be?
My DSP date is NOV2 2016 , and I'm on the latest 5.03. I'm not paying attention to this as timo said, but I was jus curious.
