There's been some recent discussion on TacT and other room correction
preamps.  These systems are relatively (to the SB at least) expensive,
and add another (possibly unnecessary) link to the audio chain. 
Furthermore, they operate off of isynchronous digital data which makes
implementation more difficult and induces jitter.

It seems that we SB users have a far more attractive option available -
to run a room correction system on the computer, *asynchronously*, and
then stream the corrected file to the SB.  In other words, calibrate by
measuring the room response with a test signal and microphone, and use
that and the desired frequency response curve to generate a filter. 
Then have a SB plugin which convolves the source file with the filter
(in faster than real time) and streams it to the SB.  

I think this is something which could prove very popular with the
audiophile segment of SB users, could be extraordinarily rewarding in
terms of audio quality.  And it really doesn't seem all that difficult
to implement.

Apparently this is already being worked on here:

Can hpyle or anyone else comment on the progress of it?  is it already
available for download somewhere?
