Tact 2.2x with upgraded powersupply owner
use to run it as a preamp/DAC combo- Preamp was subpar without the powersupply upgrade. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT
DAC's are pretty good as I had to go to Theta GenVIII to beat it (pretty obvious) but still equal to 4-5k CD players and a bargain.
Stay away from the 2.0 original unless you want to play, it is way harder to use.
the 2.0s is the newer version and similar to the 2.2x but without the ability to control a sub or biamp directly
the 2.2 is a really really old version and is not even close to the 2.2x.
The Tact has balanced analog output on the DAC boards(optional) on the 2.2x (not sure if it is fully balanced)
I am currently only using it to clean up my Squeezebox and crappy over compressed recording. My main purpose has been to use it to mic my room and adjust my treatments (ended up removing and moving treatments and listening position and speakers.) Life is so much easier when you can see things..

A lot of tact users hang out at www.audiocircle.com.
Later i will work with the room correction as I found it very difficult to understand.. there is no docs from Tact you have to download the huge FAQ's from the Tact Forum which give you a fighting chance.. Granted I didn't spend but a couple of days on it.
