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 ?

Thanks for the info. My comment about the DACs was based on other things I've read on forums. I've never heard them so I was hoping to get some feedback.

I agree my proposed scenario is a nightmare and internal DACs would be much more simple.

Alex, the Tact subs you mention aren't on their web site.

Looks like I might just have to try one of these Tacts.
