Some people have been having great success with a software called
Acourate ( http://www.acourate.com/ ). The developer, Uli
Brueggemann, is a former TacT RCS user who has come up with the
software after having good deal of experience with the TacT system.
According to him the software overcomes some of the drawbacks of TacT
RCS. Many of the Acourate users are also former TacT RCS users (many
of them still use the TacT amps which are great if you know what to
do with them) and they seem to be very happy with the results with
the Acourate. One of the former TacT RCS users I know has a digital
multichannel system with it. He is very happy with the results.

would want to use an expensive(not the DEQ) DSP based device (DEQ,
Tact, name it) if the PC can do exactly the same processing? Ok some
folks are computer disabled ;-) but they must be a vanishing
minority.
I admit that there is a place for standalone devices but the
mainstream
is going in the PC DRC, isn't it?
BTW all the problems of looping the Transporter disappear with the pc
DRC. , easy and cost effective.

Because the TACT based system is easier to use and has very well
developed software and hardware. I've seen PC based solutions. In
one
case I did see a very robust setup, but in most cases, people are
using
software that just isn't that great. They use auto EQing software
that
primarily deals with frequency respinse issues using a simple sweep
tone, rather than addressing time, level, freq. resp. and phase issues
using an impulse response. also, i'm not sure of any other software
out there that does dynamic room correction using fletcher-munson
curves to make volume dependent corrections. Furthermore, the TACT
gear allows yo to easily manipulate external crossovers and siwtch
setups on the fly.
I'm sure some people have implemented advanced room correction trhough
their PCs, however I have yet to see a setup (especially a
multichannel
setup) that actually does what the standalone systems can do right
now.
Personally, I'll be going from Transporter via AES out to the TACT in
my main rig. I really don't see a need to use the Transporter DAC
when
i am using the TACT DACs.
