Built on the technology, concept and features of the ADI-2 Pro, the DAC concentrates on DA conversion in top high-end quality, along with two exceptional outputs for headphones and IEMs, and – a remote control. With an adapted feature set and much simplified operation RME proudly presents the ADI-2 DAC. To address the home and HiFi users, RME exchanged some of the Pro’s studio features with typical home and HiFi ones. The SPDIF input signal can even be recorded via USB – as one would expect from RME the DAC is a true 2 channel Full Duplex audio interface. The ADI-2 DAC offers balanced/unbalanced analog outputs, an Extreme Power headphone output, a super low noise IEM output, Stead圜lock FS, 4-stage hardware output level control, DSP-based signal processing, external power supply operation, Class Compliant USB compatibility and sample rates up to 768 kHz as well as DSD and Direct DSD playback. It’s also half the price of the ADI-2 Pro since it is a DAC/amp and not an ADC (and also removes the balanced headphone out option).Tuned analog circuity (they say it’s slightly better objectively).Includes an improved clock (Stead圜lock FS) over the Pro.An auto-dark option that turns off the screen when you aren’t changing settings.Some of the audiophile-focused improvements in the ADI-2 DAC over the Pro include:

It does away with the analog-to-digital conversion that was part of the Pro unit while providing quite a few feature enhancements targeted specifically at music lovers. After attracting the attention of the audiophile community with the ADI-2 Pro, RME set its sights on us once again with the new ADI-2 DAC.
