RME ADI-2 Pro – “Cons – None” – Sound On Sound Review.
Read the full review here.
Sound on Sound has reviewed the new RME ADI-2 Pro AD/DA Converter and Headphone DAC in their latest issue, and they found lots to like about this latest cutting-edge AD/DA Converter. With RME having recently celebrated 20 years of pro audio manufacture and design, Head Designer Matthias Carstens decided to mark this milestone by creating his own ultimate headphone DAC.
In true RME style, the ADI-2 Pro combines flexibility with high-end specs. Sonically, SOS reviewer Hugh Robjohns classed it in the same bracket as far more expensive converters, stating “the asking price is not insignificant, but it delivers similar technical performance to units costing significantly more, while offering greater flexibility and a useful suite of high-quality digital processing.”
“In short, every test I performed was unreservedly superb!”
Along with the highly accurate and transparent sound quality, the ADI-2 Pro also features an impressive array of additional features, such as onboard DSP processing, automatic recognition of different impedence headphones, sample-rate conversion, individual EQ for both left and right channels, plus a host of others just waiting to be discovered. Of the feature list, Hugh explains in the review that “working through the comprehensive manual revealed extra features and functions that impressed me on almost every page and highlighted a genuinely inspiring level of attention to detail”
“Cons: None”
The RME ADI-2 Pro is designed to perfectly capture and reproduce audio in its truest, unaltered form. With sample rates up to 768kHz for both AD and DA conversion, the ADI-2 Pro offers an unprecedented level clarity for both recording and playback. When you need the highest quality in a converter, the RME ADI-2 Pro is the most affordable and feature-rich high-end converter in RME’s range, making it perfect as a reference device for use in high-end audio applications such as mastering studios, scientific applications, or audiophiles looking for the ultimate headphone amp.
“I can’t think of another two-channel A-D/D-A converter that can match
the ADI-2 Pro’s versatility, and few can match its technical performance.”
