Digital room correction, any recommendations?

Hi Psag

May I suggest reading some of my blog posts on this topic? I have reviewed a number of products from a functional perspective. Disclaimer: I do not sell any of these products.

There are also a few other relevant posts if you look through the blog archive.

Hope that helps - Nyal :)

Acousticfrontiers, excellent. Thank you.

Acousticfrontiers, it looks like the Tact 2.2XP meets both of our criteria. Question: Do I lose any of the correction capabilities by using it between my digital source and DAC, rather than as a digital preamplifier?

Psag - if you don't need analog inputs then you can go for the Tact 2.2 mini. The only difference between that and the 2.2XP (as far as I can tell) is that the mini does not have analog inputs. Both units have digital outputs.

Note that using the TacT unit you can set the output bit rate different from the input bit rate i.e. you can use it as an upsampler. Infact it is best to do this since the TacT upsamples everything to 24/96 or so internally to do the room correction and then upsamples or downsamples the output.

See the manual esp pages 12/13
