The DAC’s clock takes care of proceedings here and one with less jitter means it sounds better. Not getting bogged down in technicalities, jitter is digital audio timing errors when the audio changes from digital to analogue, manifesting as noise. The ADI-2 uses what RME call ‘Stead圜lock FS’.

Guide of all the features and settings with the fuller reference manual you getĪs lots of Audiophiles will be buying the ADI-2 DAC FS.Ī DSD direct mode, maintaining the DSD format, and you’ve got optical, coaxialĪnd USB2.0 inputs. Also the manual isĪs in depth as reading a technical aviation manual. Settings, balance settings and cross-feed for headphone use. Performs with factory settings out of the box. Which I’ll keep for another day as initially I want to see how this unit Operable RME ADI-2 DAC FS has a 5 band parametric equaliser. Used as a pre-amp with volume control with either of the rear XLR or RCA To noise ratio changes as volume goes up and down. There isĪlso an auto level feature that changes reference levels to account for signal Turn the volume control (acting as gain) to the appropriate level. Setting if you are using it as a DAC to a headphone amp or pre-amp, rather just To be ‘the worlds lowest noise headphone output’. Of headphone outputs – 1/4inch and 3.5mm socket. Case wise it’s a ply sheet metal wrap around type, but quality is very good…this is a German firm after all! RME ADI-2 DAC FS Reviewīass and treble knobs, various function controls, a volume knob, and two sets With its pro audio looks and credentials, from DACs I’ve tested, the colour display is second only to that used in the Mytek Brooklyn. In a technologically pleasing way this DAC looks like the radio stack out of a fighter aircraft.
This is the case with the RME because over and above the Qutest I use, in a number of areas there are decent sonic improvements. With some products you change them over and it’s immediately apparent what they offer. What I’m saying is just make sure there is no succumbing to self-bias. Not in a physical way, but that emotional or psychological check we should do as Audiophiles sometimes. Sometimes when you do a HiFi appraisal you think a product is improved because of a change, you have to check yourself. How does it perform and is my hinted hypothesis to the Chord Qutest a sound one? Sorry, forgive the pun… Which brings me to the RME ADI-2 DAC FS – a digital to analogue converter. Just by the law of averages and the driving force of competition, sooner or later something else *could* show its card in HiFi top trumps. Products don’t sit in isolation forever as the benchmark at their price.
