Is DEQX a game changer?

I am a newly minted PreMate owner examining the possibilities.
A couple of thoughts:
1) I know I will want Roon capability so is it possible to upgrade to the 4th gen processor?

2) Earthworks m23's are widely available at sub $500. I would be interested in a group buy to drive that price lower if others care to participate?

3) Has anyone attempted to use a USB converter from the 232-ComPort w Flirc to have wireless display & control?? 

Great thread & I appreciate the education. I am way behind the curve but will be contacting Larry Owens soon.

And man do I love the idea of a DIY open baffle speaker project with Deqx Processing!

I believe that DEQX themselves displayed at a show with a DIY active speaker a few years back? 2014 I think?

i know that Spatial (the new X-1) & Larsen make speakers specifically for DEQX users and was wondering if there are any others?

Have been in contact with Larry Owens. 
No upgrade path for a PreMate to Roon capability.

i think I had Larsen confused with a predecessor to Alta Audio.
