RME ADI 2 PRO FS R BLACK EDITION REVIEW 

Really? I see no problem with it. Maybe it’s just I am experienced (read as: old) :)))

Yeah its a little weird.

Best to email rme, thays a bit a ove most peoples heads bro 🙂

Yes, that is possible, but all mikes need a per amp or d.i option..... internal switching by driver will allow output to amp and statics, or actives... 🙂

This is what RME states they are using as DA www.akm.com/tw/en/products/audio/audio-dac/ak4493eq/ Looking at the specs of both the DA and the RME, I’d say they use one converter for 2 channels (stereo, L and R). The HP outs use separate stereo converters (since they can be fed independent signals...) and have a 3 dB better specs when used in balanced mode (1 dual channel out for each channel is required for balanced HP mode)

@@ChocolateAudio so it's quad ak4493eq chip design or 2?

2 duels i think, check with rme email.

No software for routing. All routing is done on the unit

If it does what you want, then why not? This is a consumer device made by studio people, who manufacture items for studio use.... 🙂👍🏻

Yes, I definitely think so

@@ChocolateAudio Thank you for replying one last question u don’t mind if I get the ADI-2 Fs will it have the same quality I’m more interested in the converters or u think I should just get the pro Fs?

@@hectorfernandez743 pro FS is an upgrade to the ADI-2 Fs

@@ChocolateAudio Got it I’m going to get that one then thank you so much

Not really. Just as a stereo AD if you have an analog summer before it

it only has 1 pair of analogue inputs so no.

? It converts an analogue input (like my turntable) to digital, and can be played out of it and/or go into pc for recording.... 🙂 Maybe i have understood it wrong (use reakout leads for phono in)

Channel count, lack of mic preamps

@Chris I had the same question. I found answers on the RME User Forum. The AD/DA converters circuit, not just the chip, is higher quality from tech specifications (THD+N and SNR and more). "Audiophile" grade. Whatever that means. But it fits the bill. Also, the headphone amp in the ADI-2 is much better for mastering and has 10 times the output when using balanced phones (up to 3W @ 64Ohms) which is very significant when pushing demanding bass. A 5 Band Parametric EQ for room acoustics correction. Loudness control for keeping tonality at lower volumes. These are just the things that come off the top of my head. I believe the ADI-2 Pro FS Be is one of the top 5 DAC's on the market. Just as a DAC! Then you add all the other add-ons and it provides way more features than any other DAC in this class. Period. Reference class device. Fantastic for critical listening and comparison of headphones and as a pre-amp for reference monitors. This is separate and different from the Pro-Level Audio interfaces, that are incredible on their own, but are not designed to be used for the purposes that the ADI-2 is used for. Thus no mic. inputs on the ADI-2.

I spent a lot of time to figure it out - press the USB Buttonon the remote (or the source you normally hear)

Options/Mute v. TRS 1/2 OFF and Mute v. TRS 3/4 OFF

I see no use in the EQ section. In any environment, from my personal point of view. Be it as a pure audiophile listener or even more in studio usage. Who told you I didn’t try higher frequencies? Got plenty of recordings at higher sampling frequencies (some of which recorded by myself) I used to listen to this hardware compared with others I had handy.

@@ChocolateAudio Buyers of expensive headphones have a slightly different opinion on the oratory1990 blog. www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets_rme_adi-2

I might see your point. What would you call it? A converter? There’s way more than simple conversion in this unit. If it’s lacking a mic or instrument input, it shouldn’t be a problem in a studio looking for a quality interface from A to D and from D to A plus bonuses like good HP amps and the likes.

It is an interface. It gets digital signal to your computer's operating system. The RME MadiFace is also an interface and it doesn't even handle analog signals at all.

someone paying this kind of money more than likely already has outboard preamps. this is a converter that can interface with the computer. if they put mic pres it would cost another thousand. nobody needs that

In the break out leads, it handles 2 phono connectors for an analogue device including a turntable cartridge, this cn be fed into a pc for recording, and can also be fed out of the xlr speaker connectors.... So, yes it does analogue inputs

Trust n believe it will sound incredible

And indeed it has inputs and outputs. It’s not a DAC. The DAC is another model and costs half this interface’s price.

It has aes, on the breakput cables, can that not be used?
