Hi folks,

I'm currently trying to replace my Onkyo TX-RZ730 (~2019 AVR) which I have been using for stereo output (ADW Duetta Tops +SVS PB12-Subwoofer) ever since.
Just today I ordered a pair of the Fosi V3 Mono Amps and now I'm looking for something to feed them:

My requirements:
  • DAC with USB, Coax and Optical inputs (DSD capable)
  • XLR Outputs
  • Remote control and a volume knob with nice haptics (I'd be satisfied if it was on par with my Fiio K7)
  • Sub-Out with bass management (I'm using a 60hz crossover currently in my Onkyo)

Is there anything that fulfills everything, I guess the sub-out part is the hard one.
 
miniDSP Flex fits the bill prefect for that.
 
Thanks! Would there be anything available that meets the specs in the ~350$ price range?
 
Nothing I can think of, but maybe somebody will chime in with an alternative. You're requirements are exactly what the Flex is (and more), except DSD support.

I also did hang-wringing over the price at first, but once I got one I couldn't be happier. The control software is also excellent, as is their support.
