Stacey, the TACT RCS 2.0 can handle 24/96, however & as you point out, this is moot since Meridian will only output 24/96 MHR encoded...

We obviously need an industry standard high-rez interface with encryption...Although I'm sure we'll see a Meridian RC solution sooner [Linked Image from softronix.com]

I've got to agree though that digital room correction should be a priority - I currently use the TACT product & I've got to say that the improvements it provides, in my less than ideal (typical?) listening space, dwarfs those I (sometimes [Linked Image from softronix.com] )hear when comparing 16/44 to 24/96 source material.
