The big difference is that you lose the ability to have an analogue-in card.
However, you gain 2 subwoofer cards and an analogue out card (to connect to analogue amp), which aren't standard on the big XP. If you are sure you want the TACT and are sure you don't need analogue in, then buy the mini. BTW, I had a 2.2XP, put up room treatments in my room (GIK Acoustics), and decided I didn't need the TACT anymore. The treatments were much cheaper. So if WAF isn't a factor, consider room treatments. -- firedog GIK Acoustics Room Treatments. Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-DACV3, MF X-150 amp, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source. SB Boom in second room. Arcam CD82 which I don't use anymore, even though it's a very good player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firedog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11550 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86557 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
