However, one important thing that you failed to mention is how many of audiophiles are being led astray by the reviews in the audiophile magazines. What I mean is, for example, the stunning review of the new $45,000 Vandersteen Model 7 speakers in the latest TAS. Why would one possibly need DRC when Richard Vandersteen, along with all his expensive measuring tools, comes to your house to set up the speakers and makes quite sure that set up is as close to perfect as humanly possible. While I'm not in position to purchase a pair of speakers costing $5,000, let alone $45,000, if a I was thinking of purchasing the Model 7s I won't do so unless Mr. Vandersteen promised to afford me the same level of personal attention.

As to why Ayre only has usb ? Do everyone expect audiphile brands to behave rational , when audiphiles in general are not (you get the products you deserve, expensive and weird)? they might have a very fine dac I've never heard it, but this kind of products (high end audiophile stuff) does exhibit a varying % of strange believes and cargo cult science . Ayre seems to have a very high % real science but anyway, they do not make supernatural claims on their web pages etc, but usb only does fit the weird catagory. Do they also want you to buy their disc spinners for disc and connect by analog means to their analog preamp ? Personally I do want flexible products with a lot of inputs and outputs and other options, I don't want to be painted into a corner if you get me.

Many audiophiles believe in maintaining a system as free as possible from tampering with the signal, such as pre-amps with no tone controls or loudness circuits and of course any type of DSP, which is exactly what the Tact does. While I used hold to much purer audiophile beliefs as I've grown older my attitude has moved steadily in the direction of if it makes you happy and by being happy you enjoy the music more, than by all means go for it.

Give me a day or two and I'll post the instructions. There are some caveats, its NOT plug ang and play, if you make the file modification to use a USB DAC you can't get output from any other output, it will JUST play to the USB DAC. You also loose the UI sounds (beeps etc when you touch the screen). You cannot use a USB DAC that requires a custom driver, it must be one that can work with a generic USB driver. If you can live with these it works well.
