Room correction in high-end system???

OK,lots of praise has been heaped on the Tact and Sigtech RCS systems, including in this months TAS. However, I believe my system is pretty high-end (at least by the "How much does your system retail for?" thread) and do not want to harm the already fine sonic charactersitics. I am generally of the mind that "less is more".

Things that concern me are:
- Putting an A/D and then D/A into my vinyl playback chain.
- Putting a lower quality D/A in place or in addition to my SF Processor 3.
- Replacing my beloved BAT VK-50SE pre with a one box DAC/ADC/RCS/PRE.

If my system were in the sub $40k retail range, I would be running to a room correction system, but am a little sceptical given my current investment. It might even be a little snobbishness. However, if I do like it better with RCS, I'd end up saving a bucket of dough.

Has anyone with a well set-up room and system tried one of these? I'd be expecially curious if Mr. Porter or some of the other vinyl fans have had one of these in their system.

Thanks,

The only answer is to try it. The room is the
most important/expensive component in yr system and unless
you are very lucky it needs dealing with. Every day I hit
the bypass button to remind myself what I used to
listen to and congratulate myself about!! The Tact
RCS does offer sampling at 96/24 in their ADC, by the
way. There is no record that is not hugely better in my
system.

There are no simple ways to use the Tact as in 'plug and
play'. You just got to mostly be able to extrapolate from
your initial messing about. I took it on faith. In
Indonesia that was the only option. Its taken me
6 months now and every week I learn a way to use it
better. My opinion how did/does anyone ever live
without it?
