"Those have just a usb connection and well I dont like usb, especially if the crossover is before the dac."
Yikes. Whether this will work or not will depend on how the DAC handles buffering. If you use a single multi-channel DAC for all channels and frequency bands then you will probably be OK with USB as well as SPDIF. But if you have separate DACs then I would expect synchronization problems with USB (or even with SPDIF in some cases, e.g. if the DACs were different models and/or if they used any kind of reclockers.)
If the different channels or drivers get even slightly out of sync there will be audible sonic degradation or worse.
