How do I add DIRAC/DSP to a setup with an integrated amplifier?

I doubt that the Technics has a better DAC.
The Nano does not get Dirac Live.
Btw. Bluesound is currently checking whether Dirac Live can be implemented on the Node X ;)
Yeah, I saw that about the Node X very exciting, if I can use the Node X as a receiver and will purchase Icon for my desk (I use the Node X for that now).
About the DACs, I will do A/B testing and find out, but I compared in the past Bel Canto C6i and its DAC was better. I was surprised too, these kind of things are hard to compare on specs, I guess.
About the Nano, I have multi-room setup with in ceiling speakers that will benefit from the Nano for each multi-zone- at $299 its one of the cheapest option to provide separate streaming for each zone (I know, I know Wiim is cheaper)

You seems to know the bluesound devises well, here are couple questions:
  1. I mainly need the Dirac as I am planning to integrate two active bass units (or active subwoofers) to my full-range single driver speakers in the living room. Since I am severely limited on locations for those bass units , my plan is to use room correction to get the sound right. When using Dirac I assume LPF will be applied to the sub output and also HPF be applied to the main signal or it will be full range. Is that correct?
  2. If I attach the sub to the Node can I use the digital out to get the main signal to the other DAC/Preamp/Amp or digital out won't work in parallel with the sub-out?
Thank in advance.

For question 2, you can ask Bluesound support, as devices with Dirac Live have not yet been rolled out.
For question 1, LPF and HPF will be applied.
