Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction Preamp

Hi,

I wanted to know if I can use the TacT RCS 2.0 Basic version for room correction purpose only and NOT as a preamp.

I want to connect my Transport to the RCS and RCS to the Audio Aero Dac which also is my preamp.

Would this work? does the RCS add any colour to the sound besides the obvious room correction :)

Thanks,
Satyam

Interesting question. In bypass mode, the RCS is very quiet and I don't believe it adds much in the way of sonic signature. But if your room is anything like mine you would WANT it to add its sonic signature by removing the bass modes and negative room effects.

Currently, I listen with headphones a bit...and put the RCS into bypass. Sounds great. But I can't say that i've compared this to pulling the TacT out entirely, which would give you an answer.

I considered buying another DAC and headphone amp so I could run a different path for headphones.....but I have other priorities.

Bottom line....I love the TacT gear and it has helped my system tremendously.

You might want to check out the TacT audio user group at yahoogroups.com for lots of information.

If you can swing it....order the RCS 2.0S or 2.2x and NOT the RCS 2.0. The RCS 2.0S was a great improvement over the 2.0.
