Chris linked the DCX2496 which is what I'd be looking at. The Digmoda DDC552 combined amp/dsp/crossovers are also interesting but at quite a bit more $$.

Even though the DCX2496 is overkill, as I said. I'm impressed with how inexpensive it is.

(I've been thinking about doing some experimentation with active crossovers, and that's the model I had picked out too.)

Maybe add a crossover to your projects list, Chris?

Well, a standalone DAC/DSP with an HDMI input that'll be able to function as a crossover (among other things).
