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. -- Sleestack *headphone:* singlepower sds-xlr at, classe sacd2, hd650 *2 channel:* tact rcs 2.2.xp w/ full aberdeen mods, bel canto oneref. 1000 monoblocks x 4,teac esoteric p-03/d-03, epiphany 12-12s (waiting for my 20-21s), tact w210 corner load subs *5.1 channel:* tact tcs mkii w/ aberdeen power supply, tact boz 216/2200 (x5) w/ aberdeen power supply, tact adc6 w/ full aberdeen mods, denon 5910, bel canto pl-1a, eggleston andra ii (x5), velodyne dd-15, pioneer elite pro 1130hd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleestack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26306 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
