Need setup help - MyTek Manhattan II and Subs

I just received my new MyTek Manhattan II, which I’ll be using as a preamp, DAC, and network streamer for music.

My other components are:
KEF R11s
KEF surrounds for full Atmos
Dual custom Deep Sea Sound Subs
Marantz SR7012 AVR
Parasound A21+

I know the MII has a home theater bypass so I can connect the L/R RCA preouts to the MII and then run XLR out to the Parasound.  The subs are connected to the Marantz via RCA.  This should work for movies.

However, I hadn’t thought about how to integrate the subs when using the MII as a preamp, DAC, and source for streaming music? This has to be possible, right? What am I missing?

Woof, I hope not! I don’t know that I can stomach another $3K so soon after this purchase...

in doing some further research, the Parasound has a “loop out” on the back and the manual says it can be used for powered subwoofers.

My Deep Sea Sound subs use SpeakerPower plate amps that have controls like this:

It has controls for LF Adjust and Crossover crossover point, so could I run the loop out of the Parasound and set the crossover on the subs?
