I can't find any mention (other than rumour) of an add-on board. But if such
an add-on was designed to fit the new DSP board presumably it would not fit
on to the old board.

The only benefit of the new DSP board as far as I can find out is extended
bass response through the headphone socket. While that would be nice to
have, like you I can't justify the cost (which I would expect to be more
like £80-£90 once you add in the tax collection charge and sending back the
old board.)

I don't see what purpose an audio filter board would serve, given that we
have a crystal filter followed by DSP filtering and then RX equalization
already. Any high frequencies that can get past that lot must be at a pretty
low level already.
