After some sage advice if I may.
I'm thinking about getting an RME dac to run directly into my power amp. The main reason is that I really like the loudness feature. A second reason is that I could get rid of my preamp.
The problem I have is that I run two digital sources (CD player and streaming) and one analog (turntable). The analog source is the problem of course
My question is am I better off going with the ADI-2 Pro FS R which has a built in ADC (and costs AUD ~3k) or the ADI-2 DAC FS (cost AUD ~$2200) and getting a separate ADC? Given the largish price difference between the two models, is there a transparent standalone ADC that people might recommend ?
