Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction Preamp

I'm using my RCS 2.0S only for room correction. It has
both the A/D and D/A convertors. I am using the A/D for
my turntable input, but I'm outputting my Levinson #37
transport directly to the RCS. I'm using a Levinson #360
DAC for conversion of the digital output from the RCS
before inputting to a Levinson 380S preamp. The RCS
upconverts the digital signal to 24/96 for slightly
better resolution.

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.

Thanks harry I think I will take the plunge and order one and see what it can do for my system.

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.
