TacT2.2-A true Revolution?

"I just reviewed the Dodson for Stereotimes. While I have not heard the Meitner, those who have heard it and heard the 218 were far more impressed with the 218. That thing is a beast."

Is the DAC in the 2.2X better than the 218?

I borrowed one from a polish distributor. Unfortunately we have had problems with establishing communication between the TacT and my computer, so I was not able to test its room correction features. However, I used his digital pre-amp capabilities for over 2 weeks and it easly bettered my Krell KRC-3 (inserted it between my CDT and DAC; KRC-3 was removed) .

As it turned out, when it was shipped to Danemark for repair (the distributor thought that something was broken), someone changed something is one of his sub-menus. I will be evaluating it shortly once again.

I believe you've discovered how much room acoustics affect the sound. It is a revelation and most people have no idea how important it is. It's a whole new level of sound quality and realism.

Well, I have to say my experience with the Tact 2.0 RCS was less satisfactory.

Regardless of the correction employed- and trust me I REALLY worked with it, it still could not give me what my ASC tube traps provide. Now admittedly, I have more money tied up in tube traps than the Tact costs- but the Tact always pulled a bit of "life" from the midrange and slightly constricted the hall ambience (for want of a better term).

The thing did do some things wonderfully well, and the Tact 2.2 seems to be a better unit.

I've concluded however that the best way to tame an analog problem like room resonances/nodes is with an analog solution- like the intelligent use of ASC Tube Traps, RPG wall treatments and so on.
