Yes, I will. But this will not happen until Oct/Nov as the new subs will be provided for my new house - which won't be finished until then.

The guy that is making the subs (sealed, with 15" Dayton Ultimax driver & 800w Hypex plate amp) was going to use miniDSP just to provide the sub LP roll-off ... and room correction for the LFs. But then he said I would need to delay the Maggie bass drivers, to match the subs - which means I have to delay all 3 Maggie drivers, so I need to use the miniDSP unit as the XO, in place of my analogue XO (with delay on each driver).

And, yes, the guy is an exponent of REW. :-))

Re. "unnecessary format conversions" - sure, I agree the minimum is ideal. But running my 2 digital sources through my preamp means that already they have gone through a digital-to-analogue conversion inside the CDP and DAB+ tuner ... then they go through the reverse, when they go into the miniDSP unit! My vinyl output goes through one analogue-to-digital conversion when it goes into the miniDSP unit - so it seemed to me I could do this conversion straight after the phono stage (with a quality A2D unit - better than the one in the miniDSP) and then the 3 digital signals could be dealt with (in terms of source selection & volume) by a digital preamp?
