TACT 2.2X As Preamp? Or Run Thru BAT?


I am considering acquiring a TACT 2.2x to tame some heavy duty anomalies in my new room. Ideally, I would sell my BAT preamp to offset the cost of the TACT and use the latter for room correction and preamplification. Would appreciate any perspective on this unit (with d/A module) as a preamp. Or should I keep the BAT and use the TACT only as an RCS device? Though the latter would preseve all the right things the BAT does, I'm not sure its even feasible for one, and it does mean more connections and components in the signal path.....

Thank you all for your very helpful replies. I forgot to say that I listen to a lot of LP's as well, so would need to use the A to D module. I will get a chance to have a live demo in my system, and will also have proper sound measurements done tomorrow to diagnose how bad the peaks/valleys are in the freq. response. Qualitatively, bass is definitely boomy with the speakers positioned for optimum soundstage width/depth/focus. The parametric equalizer route seems interesting as well.....
