Rest assured, I would never entertain the absurd notion of asking anyone on ASR to make a decision for me — that would be nothing short of lunacy. I merely pointed out that, while I was once assured €1100 was a perfectly reasonable price, it seems RME themselves have since come to a rather different conclusion.But why would you buy an "outdated" device?
But seriously: It's your decision and your money, no one can decide for you.
BTW: It has no problem driving the Beyerdynamic T1 Mk 2 (de facto closer to 1000 Ohms than the stated 600 in ASR testing).
This price has been available for two weeks at several retailers, including Schluderbacher, a very large retailer that has been established for over 40 years and is known for its aggressive pricing policy.
In France, only Thomann offers it, and indeed, this promotion wasn’t there yesterday.
Thank you for the heads up, just ordered one (again). I had an RME in the past and regret selling it. My SMSL DACs didn’t hold up, and I like how much less heat the RME generates than Schiit’s comparable products.
Well, I see others doing it as well.
Even RME, on its own social media channels, plays along by prominently highlighting the discounts on the ADI‑2 DAC‑FS.
Nice, I ordered one for the bedroom setup but I will probably grab a second (maybe used) for the office. The reduced heat output compared to Schiit products will be appreciated.
