Built in DSP = digital equalizer?

Hi, could you elucidate what DSP does, like for example the Wadia Digimaster software? Is it in fact a sort of equalizer that alters the frequency content of music signal so music has less of a mechanical and harsh quality, which is typical of digital music reproduction? If it is true that DSP alters the sound characteristics it is not a puristic way of signal reproduction...

Not all the CD player manufacturers use DSP. Wadia was the first one who uses DSP (Digimaster software). I think the manufacturers of 16 bit non-oversampling CD players/DAC's don't apply any DSP. Btw, is DSP a good thing? How much signal manipulation is needed for CD to sound good?
