" In the QS RME uses a high-class AD converter from Cirrus Logic, offering exceptional Signal to Noise and distortion figures. But the biggest difference to all other ADCs out there is its innovative digital filter, achieving for the first time a delay of only 12 samples in Single Speed (0.25 ms), 9 samples in Double Speed (0.09 ms), and 5 (!) samples in Quad Speed (0.026 ms).

These values are less than a quarter of those available from even much more expensive devices. They represent an important step in further reducing the latency in the computer-based recording studio. At DS and QS the added latency can simply be ignored. The DA-converter offers similar conversion in the range of 5 to 10 samples, turning analog digital monitoring into real analog-style monitoring!"

That the QS' conversion latencies are considerably shorter than those of the DS and other comparable converters. About a quarter or so...

That's what I wanted to know.

Thanks a lot, Herr Carstens!

(?brigens, ein wunderbarer Konverter !!)

Ich finde sie eigentlich beide gut. Aber der QS ist nat?rlich extraklasse!

Dear Herr Carstens,

you've sent the latencies of the ADI-8 DS. To compare I would need the latencies of the QS as well.

P.S.: Ist die Tonmeistertagung auch m?glich, um die 100 Punkte abzuholen?

Thanks

Schlimmer noch: gelistet als Tabelle im QS-Handbuch. Gewinn leider verspielt...
