Is DEQX a game changer?

Roon running directly on the HDP5 is awesome.  

@jeffrubin I am not sure I am clear if the HDP5 contains the Roon Server - or is just a Roon endpoint. If it is a full on server - how do you configure it with music sources etc? Is there a remote configuration app? Can the app running on your smartphone configure the server running on your DEQX?

I understand if it is a Roon Endpoint and you have a server running on a machine elsewhere how this would work - but I see nothing on the Roon site or DEQX site that says that the HDP5 comes with the server pre-installed.

For those who have been waiting for Part 3 of the DEQX articles on Digital Audio Review, it’s up now: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/09/bring-the-bass-back-with-deqx-and-dynaudio/

This part covers subwoofer integration.

Very interesting discussion there of both using the DEQX for crossover and how DEQX can impact sub placement location options. Good read. 

This may have been touched on earlier, but the potential power of the DEQX has inspired me to seriously consider attempting to build my own speakers.  I've been researching this quite a bit and it appears that the real challenge of speaker building is the cross over and time alignment -both issues that are addressed by the DEQX with near infinite flexibility.  So putting really good drivers in really rigid cabinets and then bi or tri amping with the DEQX crossover could yield some pretty amazing results.

I've gotten a lot of feedback on a terrific DIY forum.  I am leaning towards building a translam two way sealed cabinet made from laminated layers of Baltic birch with approximately 2" thick walls.  I'm still working out the details, but the design resembles a Magico Mini.  I will likely use ScanSpeak drivers with either a berillium or ring radiator tweeter.  If this comes out nicely, I plan to add a bass cabinet with 2 10" woofers.  Ultimately, the stack will be tri-amped and all controlled by an HDP5.  I've identified a number of very fine and very expensive speakers that use similar drivers and architecture but of course use passive crossovers.  It seems like I could build something pretty extrodinary for a fraction of the cost and far superior dedicated amps, electronic crossover, and time alignment.  

Does anyone here have experience with DEQX units and DIY speakers?  I would love to hear your feedback.
