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.....

I think it is pretty common to use the TacT with an external preamp (I do, so it must be common, right?). It is also common to use it with an external DAC, and then you need to have the preamp to follow the DAC.

If you can swing it, I would try the TacT for awhile before you give the BAT the boot, both to see if you like it in the system and then to see if you like it as a preamp as well as a room correction system.
