Does this work with subwoofers?

Nobody has any answer to this?

@thyname : another approach to utilizing subwoofers with the DMS is to use the unused outputs as both balanced & unbalanced outlets are simultaneously active. Your subwoofers will need their own crossover and achieving proper frequency balance may be a bit more challenging.  

 

 Well, what a coincidence you post this. Ordered one yesterday. Arrives on Thursday.

 

For starter, I will hook it up to my Preamp- Parasound Halo P5. Which does crossovers for both subs and mains.

 

thanks for chiming in!

I personally know a Cary dealer who told me the Quality control isn't good andscared me away. Of course he's also annoyed at their direct sales model, so take his comments in context. 

 

Dealers are full of BS on Cary - exactly for the reason you mentioned - them selling direct. Especially with Cary's current pricing tiers.

 

The DMS-500 is a superb streaming DAC for its price range, and up to a $10,000 unit. Pity it does not get the praise that it fully reserves.
