The secret is that you have to make sure you trim off peaks, but don't try to boost valleys. This may require some manual fussing with the target curve. When you're done, though, the result is worth it -- the room drops away to a remarkable degree, yet you don't blow up your speakers. The best sound I've heard with an RCS has been when the RCS's corrected output is being fed into a TacT digital amp, instead of having to do a D/A conversion before feeding conventional analog amps. A synergistic combination, indeed. And the RCS is capable of communicating with the TacT amps to do volume control without shifting bits, at least for most of the range -- instead, the amp modulates its power-supply voltage instead of throwing away digital information. (Yes, I've been drinking the TacT Kool-Aid bigtime.) -- jbm0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbm0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24366 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
