Best Headphone system under $1000???
Would recommend braided (kind of following Kimber cable's philosophy) and look for OCC copper (ohno cast single crystal copper) possibly sliver clad, as well. Enjoy the crazy train! We now grant you an official audiophile carrying card...

Chromecast Audio was great 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
Although, I do like the idea of off-loading woofer duty from the mains amp (up to 80Hz). Currently I am looking for a cheap but great high pass filter - so far, a couple folks have told me to buy a resistor and a capacitor to build one myself, DIY...

Rythmik has high level connections, though. You don't have to use their internal high-pass filter. You can connect them exactly like the RELs (sans speakon connection, just use bananas) 
Vandersteen 2ce sig ii vs Devore 0/93
A pair of Treo CTs handily beat some Magnapan 20.7s at my local hi-fi shop IMO. More punchy and dynamic

I think he just wants to hear information below 35hz when it's present. I think we can all agree that integration with the mains is of the utmost importance

Great choice! Please let us know your thoughts after getting some time with them. Very interested in what you think (as I may be going down the same path). What's the lead time for delivery? 
Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings?

Would any good card carrying audiophile introduce one of these high pass filters into the signal chain if they want to off load some of the heavy lifting of the amp? What I might end up doing if I can't find 2 used Vandy 2wqs (with X-over), is to ... 
Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit...
@ieales What do you recommend for a single capacitor that is "plug N' Play"?(that is minimal DIY)

If you like Schiit, they should have a dedicated transport out by the end of year. If you pair it with a separate DAC (Schiit also makes some good ones) it might be worth waiting...

I really like Rythmik's price to performance ratio. You can get a really substantial, musical sub woofer for right around 1k. I think you can get a REL that digs super deep, but would have to pay thousands more. REL looks terrific - furniture grad...

If size is a factor you should do the F12, otherwise why not plumb 10Hz territory with the F15 (although I think F12 can get close). These bad boys can even do high level connection like the REL, just doesn't terminate with the speak on connector.  
Cost Effective Sub Woofer
+1 for MillerCarbon and the swarm, I've always wanted to try getting 4 of these from Amazon to test that theory: https://www.amazon.com/Micca-12-Inch-Powered-Subwoofer-MS12/dp/B07B4MZ61W/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=N4KNPM4R9M8I&keywords=micca+12... 
Cost Effective Sub Woofer
Dang, I think we covered everything except used Vandy 2wqs. Great job team!
