Your the one fooling yourself, not me.
We do this largely because we’re engineering and science nuts. Listening to the damn things is a different activity
Why? All of these products are for different use cases and markets. They have different feature sets. This primarily determines the price, not sound quality.
Knowing the chip tells you little. Given the care RME takes in implementing these, they all perform well below human audibility levels.
Did you ask?
You should not trust me, and not stop asking questions. Just ask the right questions.
I bet you’ve never done a controlled volume matched blind test.
That’s part nonsense. The new and old FS basically measure the same, and RME publicly announced that they sound exactly the same. And you don’t have to take my word for it:
Besides, technically the old FS AKM chip is a better one than the AKM in the UCX. So that is clearly wrong information.
You are pretty much stating it is the "same" because RME told you so, over a video?
Okay, I will void your opinion, not based on RME, but due to your lack of deduction.
In 2020 we were told many things during Covid, did you believe every word that we were told?
You went through every sentence and told me nothing new, but what you believe RME is saying. Reiterating same stuff RME says, without actual logic.
I worked in sales for most of my life, and in every sales job you are told to NEVER tell worse aspects of something you sell, but focus on positives of each item sold.
You are listening to marketing videos? By marketing sales team?
I listen to engineers, the ones that service these units, and I will trust an engineer of 20+ years with RME, than a marketing video.
You can't be for real...posting a video from RME website. UCX ii and ADI-2 DAC FS have different chips.
Did you see any of the videos where they say any of their units smoke another unit?
No. Because it's called "sales".
No chip sounds the same, no amp sounds the same. So why would 2 different DACs sound the same?
I got my answers through RME engineer, not a marketing rep, but you are more than welcome to watch a slew of videos on RME channel that say nothing of quality comparisons.
RME never compares their own units in terms of sound. They would kill their own sales.
The engineer stated there is a definite difference, but you do your thing, man. While telling people units sound "the same", I am not that gullible.
Besides, technically the old FS AKM chip is a better one than the AKM in the UCX. So that is clearly wrong information.
That's exactly what I said, old FS AKM chip is better than UCX II. So you are arguing with me over what? Over the fact I am right?
Did you read my post, or you just want to be right?
Well, you are right, but I was right before you on this, before you started giving me sentence by sentence break down, while saying they sound the same?
"Below human audibility levels." is also some crap of a statement. We perceive as much as 5hz physically, we perceive higher frequencies above 20khz in ways of harmonic distortions and phasing back into audible frequencies.
So, the more you write this, the more it sounds like RME marketing team is saying it all sounds the same, while the video you just posted still said the chips don't sound the same lol! Did you even watch the video before you posted it?
Amazing how argument lead you to my victory of an argument, by default.
I am going to unsubscribe from this thread.
This is beyond absurd territory now.
