What I mean to say is that a DCX2496 allows to experiment with a variety of configurations easily (and repeatably) for subjective and objective evaluations.
In my view, the DCX2496 is not suitable (un-modified) for a permanent solution in a high resolution system. It's much too veiled sounding relative to an analog counterpart. However, it is a powerful development tool.
Anyways, using a DCX to experiment with various configurations (but keeping in mind what can be realized with a final, analog circuit) is an excellent way to go for Maggie DIY'ers. Your final crossover would be a dedicated, analog, active crossover specifically designed to your application with no extra frills and extra circuitry that a commercial unit like the Ashly would have.
Construction might be a daunting and/or expensive task for the non-DIY'er, but there are fellas like Phil Marchand who can use an existing platform like the XM-44 to achieve whatever might be required.
All that said, you'd be venturing well into "re-designing" one of Magnepan's speaker systems. Some folks are not comfortable with that. :)
Cheers,
Dave.
