I use a DSPeaker X4 in my system but only for the subs without any interference above 79Hz where it is crossed over. I simply wanted the best bass correction solution without interfering with the pristine signal to my main speakers from my own DAC regardless of cost. The X4 has done a stellar job, my bass has never been better. My DAC is an EMM DA2 and my preamp a Merrill Audio Christine. I did not want to interfere at all with the signal coming from these amazing components and going to my Pipedream speakers, so I run a second full signal to the X4 from the second output on the preamp (luckily Merrill Audio Christine has two outputs available!). The DSPeaker X4 allows a million adjustments, and I let it pick the crossover (79Hz) and had some golden-eared friends (thank you Merrill from Merrill Audio and Larry from Distinctive Stereo!) make the fine adjustments. So now I have 2 full signals going from the preamp to two sets of amps, one to the Pipedream's amps untouched by the X4 and it's DAC and the other full signal to the X4 for processing and then on to the subwoofer amps. It's perfect.
