Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@drbond, you should try an HPF and determine if it is acceptable. The key with subwoofer optimization is MSO.  I works regardless of the room parameters.  
Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@drbond I suggest you take the next step with subwoofer integration with mains and use  a miniDSP UMIK-2 microphone, software REW and MSO, and a miniDSP 2x4 HD to achieve equalized and more uniform around the room bass response.  The mains signal ... 
new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today
I should clarify, I sold the NS1.  
new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today
I had DAC2X + NS1 and now have a MA3.  Since the DAC2X was designed there are years of development in the MA3.  MA3 sounds better.  For a while I used the NS1 with the MA3 and could not hear an advantage to the streamer in the MA3.

You ended up with Ayre, what are your speakers?
I have an Ayre VX-5 Twenty driving a pair of Quad ESL 63.  I play mostly jazz and classical.  I also use two JL Audio 12" subs.  Not looking for anything else.  
DAC’s
Best if you listen with a MA3 in your system, either borrowed or purchased.  At the price offered you could sell it with little to no loss if needed.  I find special network gear upstream from the MA3 is not needed.  I think for better sound than ...

Help Tracking Down Michell Armboard for Rega Tonearm
What about getting one made by a woodworker.  I made a board for my orbe SE from laminated maple.  You just need a few dimensions.  
Best way to digitize LP's
Vinylstudio is another software product you can use to convert formats, split tracks, scan for clicks and pops, manually edit a track.  I suggest recording as DSD and convert to PCM with software.  A good job is a big effort and I think only a goo...
