I'm realizing I just love watching the RTA on my ADI-2 Pro in my desktop / office / DAW system.

I'd love for similar eye candy in my living room?

Is there a cool RTA for home audio, vintage or current, that offers a nice juicy RTA to bounce along with music?

Digital input maybe preferred? Not sure if it actually matters....
 
You mean something like this?

Download this one from Microsoft, set up an obsolete small computer monitor just for this.

If you have a computer and a monitor around...

If you want a full-featured RTA, Room EQ Wizard can do it in real time. Needs an active mic (or a line input/loopback? haven't tried), though. Probably not too practical, but fun to mess with. I can also recommend Orban Loudness Meter, which gives you a bunch of bars to stare at for every channel. Good way to see what's happening, and it's pretty easy to get running.
