    Best way to connect a subwoofer to a DAC

    Firstly, the SVS subwoofer in which you'd acquired is supposed to be a .1 LFE for the hometheater solution rather in an stereo application. Even if you send either one of the RCA signal into the sub, that's only either of the channels but not both.  Therefore either you try to get another...

    Both the Little Dot & Matrix M-Sateg are headphone amplifiers. They can 't drive the Welling elegance 5B speakers.

    BNC: Why is it less common?

    BNC connections have both 50 & 75 ohms impedance. Why BNC less common is apparently on general consumer market devices.

    Relatively neutral DAC for a Bryston B60 integrated amplifier, >$900, perhaps Canadian made?

Do you prefer solid state...
