ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is filed by Magnum Technology Limited ("Magnum" or the
"Reporting Person"), a British Virgin Islands Corporation. Magnum is principally

Person nor any executive officer or director of the
Reporting Person has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, neither the Reporting
Person nor any executive officer or director of the
Reporting Person has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction as a result of which such
person or entity was or is subject to a judgment,

(f) Not applicable.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The purpose of the previous acquisitions by the Reporting Person was to

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between DSP and the Reporting Person
dated as of February 2, 1999 (the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSIP No. 233328-10-6 13D Page 4 of 7 Pages
------- -----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Reporting Person designated two persons to
DSP's Board of Directors and has the right to continue to designate two persons
as long as the Reporting Person's ownership of DSP does not fall below (i) 7% of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock of DSP (without giving effect to shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise of stock options) and (ii) 1,642,552 shares
of the Common Stock of DSP (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of
recapitalization, spin-off, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar
transaction). In the event Reporting Person's ownership of Common Stock of DSP
falls below the levels described in the preceding sentence, the Reporting Person
may only designate one director to its Board of Directors.
The Reporting Person reviews from time to time the performance of its
investments and, therefore, may, from time to time, acquire securities of DSP
not to exceed 35% of the outstanding Common Stock of DSP or dispose of
securities of DSP.
Except as may be provided herein or in the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Reporting Person does not have any other plans or proposals which would
result in: (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation of DSP or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of DSP or any of its subsidiaries; (iii)
any change in the present board of directors or management of DSP, including any
plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
existing vacancies on the board; (iv) any material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of DSP; (v) any other material change in DSP's
business or corporate structure, (vi) any changes in DSP's charter, by-laws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of DSP by any person; (vii) causing a class of securities
of DSP to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association; (viii) causing a class of equity securities of
DSP to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (ix) any action similar to
any of those enumerated above.
