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.
