All of the above.

The noise reduction is ineffective, because the waveshape of noise 
and signals are virtually the same once the noise passes through a 
filter anywhere close to the same BW as the signal.

The DSP doesn't degrade S/N because the filter and AGC ahead of 
the DSP makes levels almost the same.

Because of that, the DSP can only do a good job as a notch or a 
passband filter. IF DSP's, with current technology in the equipment 
we buy, aren't much better.
