That makes sense.

I don't think I'd be without the MEN220 as I have a really tough room (and I need the active crossover for dual subs)...but food for thought.

I had also changed axis of the room and added treatment so the MEN220 added less than it had. If there were an R2R version I’d be sorely tempted.

You’d need to consult more knowledgeable people here to see if they think there could be any signature added by the MEN220 A-D-A conversion. 24 bits is a lot of resolution.
