Who told you of the inferior performance of the Tact DAC's. I have a Tact 2.2XP with the optional DAC's which replaced a Levinson 630S DAC with a BAT VK-51SE preamp. I also used a MBL DAC and in both cases the Tact DAC performed as good as, if not better, than the exterior DAC. I think getting rid of compatbility complexities and interconnects is a big deal. I haven't tried the MauiMods to the Tact DAC's but if they are anything like the power supply mod, they're worth it. The Tact is a sophisticated piece of equipment that, with a little patience, will amaze you. All this stuff you're trying to do will be a nightmare to set up. Make sure you get the Tact 2.2XP, it's much better than the 2.0.
Tact XP with 16 bit DACs and biamping
I am considering a Tact XP to use with my system as a means to integrate horn woofers with my Avantgarde Duo Omegas to replace the 225 woofers. This seems like an ideal way to integrate the woofers but I am suspcious of adding proccessing to the chain.
I love my Altmann DAC and was thinking of using the EQ and room correction features of the Tact as well as a digital crossover with the digital output to feed my Altmann. I would also get another Altmann so I would have one for the main and another for the woofers. I would control the volume with a pair of Placette remote volume controls on the analog outputs of the DACs. This convoluted scheme is based on reports of inferior performance of the DAC modules in the Tact. So
* anyone have good results with the Tact and 16 bit DACs
* what is your take on the ADC and DAC modules in the Tact vs. outboard units ?
* I would need to feed my phono preamp into the Tact ADC. Would I lose the vinyl magic?
* Any other ideas on how to do this ?
* Am I nuts to even consider such a scheme ?
