Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] TP digital input ugly noise

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Overwhelmed by Transporter
Yesterday I had the chance to listen to the Transporter as a friend came over and brought his new toy. In the beginning I was quite sceptical as I thought my setup was quite good to start. My SB3 is connected to a Benchmark DAC1. First we compared both sources connected to the benchmark - no doubt the Transporter was clearly ahead in every respect. Fed into the Preamp showed that the Transporter not only has excellent digital outs but is a better DAC than my beloved Benchmark. Both are not worlds apart sonically but it is more engaging to listen to the Transporter over a prolonged period of time. If I did not own an excellent DAC already I would buy a Transporter immediately. P.S.: This is a beautifully crafted piece of equipment. The only thing I did not like are the glossy handles.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: more on room correction
Hi, I am a TacT user for more than 5 years, the RCS/TCS will NOT correct room nulls! It is impossible with any device. Room mode can only be avoided/minimized by moving the loudspeakers and/or the listening position. If you try to correct a room null by boosting the signal at this frequency your may just end-up damaging your amps/loudspeakers. This is pure physics and it is a characteristic of the room (if your room is rectangular there are some easy tools that will show you were the modes are). With the TacT, when the measurements reveal a deep dip at the listening position a room null can be suspected. If moving the loudspeakers or listening position is not an option, it is then recommended to limit the correction at this frequency by editing the target curve (creating a dip in the target curve to limit the correction). That's being said, in most of the case the TacT will still do miracle in low frequency.

For stereo systems only, they also recently introduced a one box solution: the S2150XMD, it is a stereo digital amp with the same RCS features as the 2.2XP. Check their web site www.tactlabs.com FYI: I am using my SB2 in a full TacT system (TCS+S2150). Room Correction can make a massive difference.
