I ordered the ADI-2 Pro (DAC and ADC) and it arrived yesterday. Putting it through its paces as we speak....
Keith, is it plug-and-play in Windows? On mine, it got recognized by Windows but it did not instantiate any audio devices. I had to install their drivers. Once I did, it only advertised 44.1 kHz and no other sampling rate! Never seen that before.

A almost totally Apple here, I will try it on one of my sons PCs.
Thanks. Good to know. I will start and see what happens. I also read the manual and it says it is USB class 2 compliant so there should have been no need for drivers.I noted something similar when installing the ADI-2 Pro drivers and had to re-start the computer. Now it recognizes all rates up to 768KHz.
These intermittent problems could be anywhere from hardware implementation in my laptop to said drivers and the device. Good or bad or indifferent though, manufacturers need to work around any bugs they find and make their devices solidly reliable. Or document that they are not and why not.Seems like those USB drivers that Micro$oft added to Win 10 a bit back are still sketchy. Units that are recognized without issue on Apple and Linux still hit and miss on Windoz.

When I worked for hardware companies that produced PC peripherals we always hired a testing lab for $20K or so to test compatibility. The shops we used had 70+ PCs to test against. We would give them device and a verification suite which they would run against them. Invariably we would find 20% of them not working and we would have to work around their bugs or ours. I suspect many of these companies don't do this.
If they used already tested hardware this would be less of an issue but I don't think RME uses an off-the-shelf solution.
