Who makes a digital crossover?
I looked at accuphase, rane and dbx and I'm pretty sure they all take a digital signal, convert to analog and then offer analog slope crossovers. I couldn't find XTA. Anybody else? 
MSB Platinum DAC
I enjoy mine because it's the only DAC that can truly drive an amp without a preamp, and no preamp is better than any preamp. You do need to find a way to do volume though and I use a Z-Systems RDP-1 before the MSB or a Placette remote volume after. 
Viva Amps - Any thoughts?
Albert, did you get the Wolcott amps yet?

highest damping factor amp
Thanks for the reply. The Crown amp you mentioned is the highest I've ever heard of too. It's too big for what I need. Twin TAD 15inch drivers that are 97db efficient each. I don't need much power, just control. Was thinking Aleph 3's.
