RME ADI-2 DAC FS Ultra Fidelity PCM/DSD 768 Kilohertz DA Converter

The ADI-2 DAC includes an improved SteadyClock, a fine-tuned to perfection analog circuitry, new MRC remote control, Extreme Power headphone output and a very special IEM output. It has all the bells and whistles that made the ADI-2 Pro famous, including its perfectly transparent sound signature and full DSP processing with Bass, Treble, Loudness, 5 Band Parametric EQ, Crossfeed, and much more. With its simplified operation and stunning design it is the ideal center piece from home listening up to studio reference playback.
