Based on the feedback of our customers and the developers’ desire for an ADI-2 with more features, the ADI-2/4 Pro Special Edition was created, which in many details is even more flexibleand powerful than the Pro due to significantly increased hardware effort. But is still an ADI-2 Pro- a multitude of devices compressed in one housing, with simple and mostly automated operation:
RME’s ADI-2 Pro was first released in 2016 and has been a true milestone in many ways. Lookingat the multitude of AD/DA converters, USB DACs and dedicated headphone amps available, RMEdevelopers felt they all lacked obvious features that are unavoidable to enjoy operation as well aswhen listening to music. And while many of those devices claim to use the latest state-of–the–artwhatsoever converter chip, serious magazines and RME staff were repeatedly disappointed tofind that in the end the stellar technical data published in ads and datasheets were nowhere to befound.
With the ever growing popularity of headphones and latest AD/DA chips pushing technical datafurther, the ADI-2 Pro convinced with the industry’s biggest footprint per feature ratio, with specsthat were as real as RME‘s reputation, a feature set that was unheard of, useful features that forunknown reasons no one else implemented, and two extremely powerful headphone outputs -the new reference in accuracy and dynamic range.
