RME ADI-2 FS for mastering - are the converters as good as ADI-2 Pro FS ?

[Boring Vic]

Hello,

Please pay attention to the exact terms as I am referring to products with very similar names. The 2 products I'm referring to are the RME ADI-2 Pro FS (a interface with high-end converters) and the ADI-2 FS which only features converters.

I'd like to know if the AD/DA converters found in the RME ADI-2 FS are as good as the ones found in the ADI-2 Pro FS.

I won't go over the reasons why I'm considering purchasing the ADI-2 FS, and I don't want any workflow or purchasing advice.

Do we have measurements of the ADI-2 FS online ? I didn't find any.

Thank you !

Given RME's excellent reputation, I'd trust the specs in their manual to be perfectly accurate:

According to RME's own specifications, the Pro is very slightly better:

Whether you would ever notice this in real world applications is another matter.
