What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system?

Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return...

What kit, what cabling...?  
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
@grislybutter    WOW. Did you contact Underwood HiFi about this?  
How Big of a Difference?
Often, manufacturers will provide XLR I/Os FOR CONVENIENCE, THOUGH THEIR KIT IS NOT TRUE BALANCED. Unless your components have true balanced circuits then XLR won’t make a difference. What surprises me most is how many reviewers do not have true ...
