Bacch Dsp, True stereo?
Yeah maybe crosstalk needs to be better clarified. To lift it out of the gimmick zone. OK so I now research what the heck crosstalk means. Just to be clear, you’re the only one on this thread who thinks this is a gimmick. But glad to hear you’r... 
They know we will pay anything they can think of
I don’t understand the point of this.   
Integrated Question
Some of the cables above offered more than the Morrow, but when cost was factored in, Morrow was best all around for the money. I have not looked into Acoustic Zen. Just looked at The Cable Company and they carry AZ may rent and give them a try. ... 
Integrated Question
I’d try experimenting with some interconnects before ditching the amp as they may give you the tweaks you’re looking for without having to throw the baby out with the bath water. I’d very highly recommend you try these Acoustic Zen Silver Ref inte...

I quote Ozzy Osbourne re: the prior post. — “I’m going off the rails on a crazy train.”  
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
As others have said, absolutely go with two.  Your room isn’t all that big, and two E110s will be more than sufficient as they go down to 23Hz -3dB.  If it was me I’d get two Rhythmic F12Gs as you can get two for just a little more than one E110, ...

Congrats on the N200!  Great choice and I’m sure you’re gonna be thrilled.  Please let us know your thoughts if you could.

So why don’t they post an explanatory YouTube video explaining the interface. This is the biggest hurdle for marketing this product and they know it. DSP interfaces are horrifying. Also testing a room is horrifying to do. Because no one has desig... 
Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please
Get this LTA MZ2 pre that includes their LPS and just be done with it.  Best of luck.  https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650017308-linear-tube-audio-micro-zotl-mz-2/

So, not sure if USB or i2s is the way to go at this point. Although, it sounds like USB is the Aurenders preference for connecting to a DAC.  Well, I’d think it’s actually more important which input is superior on the DAC, but that’s me.   
HT Bypass Vs Input selection Integrated Amp
@erik_squires is absolutely correct unless you don’t want to add another box (and corresponding set of interconnects) to your system and/or you’re not thrilled with your current amp.  If you’re happy with your amp I’d just add a good stereo pre.  
Aurender
But with N200, you may not hear any difference vs going direct. Just ask @soix what streamer being used before DDC. That’s why I asked which input is best on the Gustard because everything depends on that. If Gustard says their i2S input is sup... 
Bacch Dsp, True stereo?
We are obviously wrong, he watched one video!   @curiousjim After it was linked here.  Joke.  Total joke.   
Aurender
I’ll throw out one more thought because I like to complicate things.  Depending on the quality of your Gustard’s inputs it might be worth considering adding a DDC to take advantage of its i2S input.  I’ve got a Musician Pegasus R2R DAC and bought ... 
Aurender
IMHO you’ve got a very nice DAC that’ll convey the benefits of a great streamer, so I’d go for the Aurender, EVO, etc. and upgrade the DAC later as funds permit. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
