Not sure if it's exactly what you or others are looking for but I've been using a Minidsp Flex HTx for the last 6 months as a crossover for a DSP 3 way, recently 4 with an extra, below 35hz sub....
I used to use their SHD for a 2 way a few years ago, in another system, and I got on well with that, when I wanted more channels this seemed a worth checking out. The (non essential) DIRAC does really tighten up things, annoyingly so as I'd rather do without that for the vinyl input, even though I can use the DSP on crown amps on anything under 100hz.
Crossover functionality is great and easy, it does preamp duties too. I bought it for prototyping with the aim of then building an active crossover but I wonder if that would make much difference in the end.
It'll do analogue input for vinyl connection and it might well do usb input from PC. I use a streamer > Dac in for digital as it doesn't stream.

To be truly honest... using DSP for speakers just means going digital for everything.
What's the point of having a nice analog turntable and a P3 and a nice preamp if we're gonna digitize the whole thing? Might as well get an NCore and be done with it.
I love the idea of this thread... a wideband two way makes a lot of sense.... take a wideband driver, take it directly to the amp with no crossover... then have a woofer that uses a simple low pass filter.
That's two of the configurations that I have at home, and although it won't play the loudest and it sort of gets shouty if I turn it up too loud, at reasonable levels it's very satisfying.
