RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

[DJBonoBobo]

I have the Stealth and an ADI-2 DAC. For me, it is sufficient. Only when listening to very quiet classical recordings i reach the 0dB point of the ADI-2. I almost never do this though.
If you want to listen to quiet or high dynamic range records, you could face the limits of the ADI-2 sometimes. So, if you want to test which one is better, don't bother with "sound quality " differences, because there should not be any, but concentrate on your most quiet recordings and see if the ADI-2 gets loud enough for you with the E3. If it does, you probably don't need the 2/4.

Thanks for your response. You guessed correct, I'm from Northern Virginia. We have many high end Audio shops near by which carries the regular ADI-2 DAC FS but not the 2/4 pro or even pro. Del Pro Audio is really a good store but they are in New York pretty far from my place. But surely I'll check with them if there is a provision to audition them, may be when I visit NY, if they have it in stock I can check, I'm purchasing the E3 this week, I'll first test it with RME Adi-2 at my nearby Audio Store. Thanks again for the info.

You can purchase it through online retailers or directly from RME USA.
Both major ones have them in stock. Expedited 2-day shipping included.

Does the 2/4 Pro SE ever get discounted, or is full price pretty much it?
