Please stop spreading fake news and first check your facts. MC just wrote in the RME forum that the price is expected to be in the EUR 2‘500.- range with the 40 watt SMPS. The price of the new optional PSU is tba.
Get yourself a used ADI-2 Pro fs
Why the pro and not the regular? The intersting thing about the 2/4 is the more customizable EQ but the Pro and the regular have the same capabilities.
Well, is this not effectively an ADI-2 PRO with extra toys/features...? If the PRO is selling for $2000 on sweetwater right now (that's with $400 "off") logic would dictate that this would be a similar price, so $2000-2400 or more. So maybe I have to rethink the purchase. If it is in fact $1600 I would not think twice.
I just fished throwing a number in the air and you just did the job for me. Thanks that's the answer I was looking for.

There will be no update to the DAC.
How are you so sure? There is a market for an updated DAC with the new DSP and a 4.4mm jack.
I don't know where you got that impression from, but I highly doubt it.
The Pro will get a bigger brother, with a more powerful DSP, a change of DAC/ADC chips and a modified internal routing (that's, I guess, where the 2/4 in the name comes from)
None of this applies to the DAC.
Isn't the DAC version a stripped down Pro? So the DAC 2/4 will be a stripped down Pro 2/4, without any of the ADC features.
Major selling points would be the new DSP providing equivalent capabilities of software EQ (ie, 10 customizable bands) and the 4.4mm balanced jack.
That would be the ultimate endgame DAC for home HiFi use cases.
A new DAC version has not been announced. It is not precluded that a new DAC will be announced later, as usually new products are kept secret until their announcement.
A new DAC version has not been announced. If there was a new DAC in the pipeline we would have heard about it the same way we heard about the 2/4 Pro.
It's been discounted for a long time because it's an old product and all products end up being discounted after a few years versus their original price.
RME seems totally focused on releasing 2/4 Pro right now (and keeping to the schedule seems to be a challenge in itself), so there won't be a release of an hypothetic new DAC version, if any, before 2023 H2 in my humble opinion.
Considering how good the original is, I really wonder how they'd improve it enough to justify a new version.
Do you really need to ask that question?

Mostly more power on the 4.4 mm output and more DSP, that's it. Personally I would not upgrade mine.
