RME LNI-2 DC honest talk

[fredoamigo]

Zero measurements of the audio-out of the device it powers… this is totally pointless.

we already know it's well designed

I guess it doesn't have enough output current to power 2/4 PRO at maximum load.
The LNI-2 DC is rated at 2 Amp.

The ADI-2/4 PRO specs:
- Standby power consumption DC 12 V: 170 mW (0.014 Amp)
- Idle power consumption: 14 Watts (1.16 Amp)
- Max. power consumption: 30 Watts (2.5 Amp).

I don't use the ADI-2/4 PRO SE under maximum load, so my goal is to improve its performance under light to medium load.

Did you end up trying the LNI-2 with the ADI-2/4 Pro SE? How do you use your ADI-2/4 Pro SE, and how did you determine that you would be staying under the max wattage of the LNI-2 and not approach the 30 watt max power consumption of the ADI-2/4 Pro SE?

Yes, it has been working great for almost a year now.

How do you use your ADI-2/4 Pro SE, and how did you determine that you would be staying under the max wattage of the LNI-2 and not approach the 30 watt max power consumption of the ADI-2/4 Pro SE?

I use it with the XLR and SPDIF outputs for speakers and the PH3/4 output for headphones (Senn HD650 or FiiO FT1 Pro).
I assume the 30W power consumption is for all the features of the device used at maximum power (such as both ADC channels at max settings, two low-impedance headphones at max volume, XLR and SPDIF outputs, all at the same time). I never use it that way.
