the whole purpose of re-flashing the stock head unit is to either get the best EQ output from the head unit or get the EQ and enable fade control from the HU and handlebar controls. You CAN install the DSR1 or any other DSP unit on a NON flashed head unit, and try to correct the EQ/Gain curves with just the DSP unit. If the head unit has already been flashed for the flat EQ, there is less tuning work to do once you DO install the dsp, so to me that is less time spent in getting good sound.

Simple and to the point for someone who i want to assume is perhaps new to bike audio.
We all have a little bit of sled audio knowledge, but collectively its huge.
We can tell you what we did right, and we can tell you what we did wrong.
We cant tell you what your ears will enjoy listening to.
Best of luck and please feel free to ask anymore questions that pop up.

Marco am I correct in understanding that if a Boom Box is flashed for the flat EQ curve then the handlebar fader control is lost? If so that may be a consideration for someone just starting out. I'd also like to know because my neighbor has one and was tinkering with the idea of an upgrade.
I find that I like to adjust my fader on the fly depending on what helmet I am wearing or sometimes a change in source.
