TEAC AX-501 + subwoofer?

its been a long time since i've been in the market for audio components and ive previously only bought a/v receivers not dedicated amplifiers, d/a converters, etc etc etc. so now that my ex wife has all my old stuff i get to get new stuff. I'm certainly not an audiophile like most of you guys but i do appreciate quality, function, simplicity and asthetics. my current house is wired for speakers in the living room, dining room and outside on the patio. i have a theater room so this post is strictly looking for a solution for those areas. there are paired, in wall speakers in each of those rooms. i'll need a speaker switch but i would really like to add a subwoofer to the mix. with that in mind i am looking at these options: TEAC AX-501 (too new to post links, sorry) TEAC AI-501DA TEAC AI-3011DA My questions: 1. What is USB streaming? is that simply connecting an ipod to the unit for playing music? 2. Is a DA converter required for the 501 or is that simply a sound quality preference? 3. How would i add a subwoofer to the mix with the 501 or 501DA when they don't have subwoofer outs 4. The 301DA has everything i want but its a little low on the power and it doesn't have those pretty analog meters...does anyone know of a unit that is like the 301DA but has more power and those types of meters? thank you for your help and happy thanksgiving!
