Flexibility through practical technologies
The ADI-2 DAC FS ensures extremely high-quality DA conversion from USB, S/PDIF coaxial, and S/PDIF optical to balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs. In addition to two RCA and XLR outputs on the rear, an Extreme Power and a low-noise IEM headphone output are located on the front. Furthermore, the RME converter features SteadyClock FS, DSP-based signal processing, sample rates of up to 768kHz, and class-compliant USB compatibility. Last but not least, DSD and Direct DSD playback are possible - and S/PDIF input signals can even be recorded via USB.

Optimum interface between the digital and analogue worlds
RME's ADI-2 DAC FS is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which makes it exactly the right choice for those who are looking for maximum sound quality. In a convenient desktop-format housing, this converter aims to provide high-quality DA conversion combined with two exceptional headphone outputs. Its transparent, reference-level sound and DSP-based signal processing make it the optimum interface between the digital and analogue worlds. As a dedicated feature for hi-fi users, RME has equipped the ADI-2 DAC FS with an Auto Dark function. This switches off the illumination of all controls including the LC display ten seconds after the last input.

Enjoyable listening without background noise
IEM (in-ear monitors) are considered sensitive and operate at very low voltages. A resulting disadvantage is that they can make the background noise of playback devices, headphone amplifiers, and DAC audible. For this reason, RME has made sure that the Extreme Power headphone output has a very low noise floor. To allow even the most sensitive in-ear monitors a full dynamic range, RME has added a special IEM output, whose noise floor is another 10dB lower than that of its 6.3mm jack counterpart. So if you use the ADI-2 DAC FS purely as a headphone amplifier, you will be thrilled.
