The RME ADI-2 DAC FS is a sophisticated two-channel digital-to-analog converter designed for audiophiles and audio engineers alike. It supports 32-bit conversion rates of up to 768 kHz, ensuring compatibility with high-resolution PCM formats and DSD256. Furthermore, the ADI-2 can connect to iOS devices using appropriate adapters, allowing users to stream audio from their tablets or iPhones with exceptional quality. In terms of connectivity, the ADI-2 DAC FS features stereo RCA outputs, stereo XLR connections, a 1/4" headphone output, and a low-noise IEM output. Digital signals can be input via USB, S/PDIF coaxial, S/PDIF Optical, or ADAT. The integrated headphone amplifier delivers low total harmonic distortion (THD) even with 32- or 16-Ohm headphones, providing a clear and transparent audio experience. The onboard digital signal processing (DSP) enables users to adjust crossfeed settings or apply a precise equalization tailored to their preferences. Additionally, the DSP includes features such as a loudness contour reminiscent of vintage HiFi systems and M/S encoding or decoding capabilities. The unit is user-friendly, thanks to its high-resolution graphical interface, three push-button encoders, and four dedicated menu buttons. The ADI-2 DAC FS package includes a remote control, an external power supply, a power cord, and a USB cable. The ADI-2 DAC is a 2-channel digital to analog converter in a half-rack enclosure. 32-bit / 768 kHz converters offer a signal to noise ratio up to 120 dBA. Powerful, built-in DSP adds useful audio processing, including a 5-band parametric EQ, fast Bass/Treble adjustment, Crossfeed, Loudness control, and more. Operation is quick and easy through three encoders, with push-button functionality, as well as four buttons to access dedicated menus. The unit remembers all current settings, even the menu position. Class Compliant UAC 2 enables up to 768 kHz sample rate on an iPad. The same is available on computers for high resolution of PCM, DXD, and DSD at up to 768 kHz / DSD256. SPDIF coaxial and optical can be used alternately. SPDIF optical also supports two channels of ADAT operation, at up to 192 kHz. The balanced and unbalanced outputs are fitted with both XLR and RCA jacks. The unit uses a fully-balanced and DC-coupled circuit design. The Extreme Power headphone output provides reference-grade sound and headroom. RME's IEM output offers low-noise operation for today's super-sensitive in-ear monitors. To maintain the full dynamic range within the best operating level, discrete 4-stage reference-level settings were utilized (-5, +1, +7, +13 dBu). The digital volume control of the ADI-2 DAC operates distortion free over a range of 190 dB, staying out of the sound's way. RME's SteadyClock FS performs in all clock modes. Thanks to highly-efficient jitter suppression, the DA-conversion always operates on a high sonic level, being completely independent from the quality of the incoming clock signal.
