Been out of ther game for a while so not sure where to start.
im looking for a streaming option that will let me play spotify and also accept a digital input from my tv. Also need to go to a active 2 way dsp with mono subwoofer out for some active 2.1 monitors.
I know in the past mini dsp offered a solution but I dont know what is currently available. Maybe the Arylic up2stream pro then onto a dsp solution?
Also not opposed to a dsp based amplifier, around 0w x 4 will be fine
Cheers, Beau.

The only digital input DSP capable amp with 4 channels I've ever played with is the Zoudio AIO4CH. That might just touch 50WX4, if you're using 4 Ohm speakers. If your streamer and TV output BT 5.0, the latest Zoudio amp can do a BT 5.0 connection, which I imagine would be pretty clean SQ wise.
Everyone knows you can make a music streamer out of a Raspberry Pi. http://www.suptronics.com/miniPCkits/x930.html shows a DAQ module for the Pi with an optional BT 5.0 adapter. I've never used this, but it sounds like you could connect a Pi based streamer to the latest Zoudio amp using this hardware - at high (24 bit) resolution using BT 5.0.
I did buy a small device which transmits BT 5.0 (supposedly) and accepts stereo input on a 3.5 mm connector; I paid ~$11 for it on ebay. It works with the Zoudio amp I have; a V1. Perhaps that would be sufficient SQ for the TV connection. Getting HDMI signals or SPDIF coax into this amp via BT might be a bit more of a challenge.
Finally, the Zoudio amp doesnt have an extra sub output channel, with separate DSP filter processing just for that - on top of the 4 power output channels it provides, You'd have to derive your own line level to drive a powered sub from the two amp outputs driving the woofer speakers in your two-way. But, this is DIY after all.; you could do it with caps and a few resistors.
Hardware purchases, software installs, network connection, music storage considerations, power supplies, custom circuitry, tuning the DSP filters - quite a DIY project, but it can be done.

Lyngdorf tdai-3400 can drive 2 speakers and has analog output for 2 others (or mono I think). It can cross them up to 10k and itself either drive below or above the crossover. RoomPerfect works either way. Time alignment in cm or ms and crossover up to LR 8th order. I am very happy with this setup, using it to drive the drivers directly. Used to use tpa3255evm as second amp, bought a purify now.
I would think the 1120 can do the exact same only with less power (it would no doubt have been enough for me).
