    Transporter + TacT RCS 2.2XP - how to hook up?

    I'll be receiving the Transporter and TacT RCS 2.2XP next week.

    I already own a Duet, but I want to use the Transporter's DAC for its superior sonic quality.

    So what I want is to replace the Duet with the Transporter. I want to take the Transporter's digital out, feed it to TacT for room correction, and then take the TacT's (room corrected) digital out and feed it back to the Transporter's DAC.

    Is this possible?

    Yes , it's possible , use whats called the "effects loop" , it allows a room correction or any other digital device to be used tween the digital out and digital in
    SBT/Z-sys RDP1 digital Pre/Meridian DSP5500's Or TP/DSP5500's
    SBT/MDAC/Various amps/Osborn Epitomes
    SB3/Meridian DSP5000's
    SBT/ MDAC/Various HP amps/Senheisser Hd800's/650/600/Denon

    I just got a Lyngdorf DPA-1 and on first impression (one week) I like the DAC in it better than my transporter's.

    Duet with the TacT as dac might sound better....

    No, I'm using the Transporter's DAC, not TacT's. I don't even have the analog board for my TacT. The TacT is just a pure digital device for effect loop hook up for room correct.

    I've listened to the Lyngdorf DAC, it is better in some areas and worse in others. Sound stage for one is not was wide as the Benchmark DAC1...
