After a brief listening session at low volume with my Focal Clear MG Professional headphones (connected to an RME Babyface Pro FS, RME ADI-2 DAC FS, various Violectric models, and a Niimbus US5 Pro), the sound quality deteriorated significantly and has not recovered for over seven months. I hope...

I'm currently using a pair of Genelec 8361A's with an RME ADI-2 DAC FS and GLM kit. Ever since Palmer has released their Orbit 11, I've been wondering whether it would be beneficial to switch to a 5.1 system - 5x Orbit 11, 1x DynAudio Core Sub and Topping DM7 with Sonarworks SoundID. Later...

RME Digiface USB — $425 w/ free shipping I am downsizing from a larger house to a smaller apartment, so I am selling many items that used to sit in my home office audio audio rack and around the house.

I'm using my RME ADI-2 DAC FS as the audio output of my Mac (through USB) into a pair of Rokit 5 G3 monitors. In between, I'm using a Mackie Big Knob passive volume control. The problem I'm running into is that at -3.5db output (+13 dbf Auto) on the RME to Big Knob to full power on the monitors...

I have a RME Fireface UFX ii (which has a high & low power mode for the headphone amp)...and I just purchased a set of Hifiman Arya Organics. Is the RME sufficient in powering the Arya Organics for accurate reproduction? I will be mixing albums on this setup. Thanks!

Using the multitone analyzer app and a basic loopback setup to measure the ADI 2/4 SE PRO with DPS-2, nothing special like summing or mono. These are the measurements I got running -1db play gain and -1db analog output with both the ADC and DAC output set to 24 dBu SINAD: 50hz: Multitone...

I have combed through the spec sheets for both the RME Adi 2 Pro FS and 2/4 Pro SE and still can't decide which one to buy. Part of the indecision is based on not knowing what musical gear and connectivity I will use a few years from now. My future purchase will primarily be used as a dac and...

Hi all, I have been using the RME for headphones and HiFi preamp/DAC. I found out recently that whenever I set the sample rate for the Analog input to anything higher than 96khz(DSDxx) PEQ is disabled (I get a notification about it when toggling the PEQ). However, the manual says that PEQ is...

Hi folks. I'm looking for a good first DAC. Budget is 800-1000GBP. Currently have the RME babyface Pro FS interface and the topping l30 MK2 Amp. I'm not so informed on DAC's so any info/recommendations welcome!

I'm happily using my Fireface interface for a long time now. I know its a pro studio gear but it's a perfect fit for my active XO setup as a preamp. It can handle all of my inputs as well and do everything in standalone mode, no computer needed. Not to mention room correction which is a huge...

Hi Amir, although it has been discussed here 1, 2 and there, it is undeniable that supporting to deemphasise preemphasised sources for DACs seems to remain a niche topic and annoyingly enough, many, such as the otherwise great Toppings, don't seem to support it. Neither you so far...

After the most recent two threads I had opened, I didn't felt understood. Therefore, I try to be more vocal about what I want. Budget up to 6000 EUR Comfort must be gentle to the apex / fontanelle of my head. I love Velour. Must be light-weight. Must be over-ear. Cable must be flexible as much...

Hello, first post. I have the RME ADI-2 PRO fs. I’m looking for an amp that will actually use the fidelity I paid for. I don’t think I listen to music the same way other people do. I like putting my ear right against the woofer and tweeter to really figure out whats going on. I am fanatically...

I have two questions about simultaneously using both of the digital inputs (i.e., AES, S/PDIF) on an RME ADI-2 Pro FS R when it is in USB Multi-channel mode: 1) Can the RME ADI-2 Pro FS R be set to Internal Clock and apply automatic sample rate correction (SRC) on both the AES and S/PDIF inputs...

I recently had an "Aha Eureka, Wow!!!" revelation... only to be followed a few days later by a "Wait, Oh Crud!!!" realization. Reaching out to this list for any insights on whether it is possible to shift from Oh Crud back to Aha Eureka. Some context about my my home office stereo environment...

I am using REW + UMIK-1 for room EQ of my office setup, which is based on RME ADI-2 DAC fs + Neumann KH 80 DSP. The 1st 2 bottom lines were done using MMM: pink noise on generator, RTA with 32 samples. The 3rd and higher line is a single measurement holding the mic roughly where my head...

I currently own an Arturia Audiofuse studio, which I am generally pleased with. It has Adat and tons of ins and outs. I want to record an acoustic album and went down the rabbit hole of A/d converter chips. The Audiofuse Studio has an "AK5578 EN" A/D chip. I am wondering how this chip...
