Topic: Evolution OLD ADI-2 vs New ADI-2 Pro FS

Hello,

I have the OLD ADI 2 DAC :
https://www.espaceclaviers.com/rme-audi … _p2806.htm

Do you think the the conversion digital to analog (DAC) is really better in RME ADI-2 Pro FS
https://www.rme-audio.de/adi-2-pro-fs-be.html

I am not a professionnel, it 's just for listen Music

Thanks

No, but the "Pro" has some extra functions that you might find useful - or not.

One exception: the new model features an extra DA-filter (SD Low Dispersion) that is not available in the old version.
This filter does sound different, but not worlds appart.

And there is a remote control.

Thank you for your answer

My RME ADI 2 is from 2005 !!
so there hasn't really been any improvement for the Digital-Analogic Conversion part since 15 years?

Re: Evolution OLD ADI-2 vs New ADI-2 Pro FS

KaiS did not talk about the old ADI-2. The differences between these two units are indeed big. The Pro has better tech specs on all I/Os, plus a ton of features that are useful for music listening. Check their manuals to compare.

Sorry, I missed to look at the link.
This is not "ADI-2 DAC" but "ADI-2" without any name extension.

There are really some versions of ADI-2 out there.

Re: Evolution OLD ADI-2 vs New ADI-2 Pro FS

Yes, it's a very good too
Great ! I think I would go to ADI 2 Pro FS black edition!
I would use it as a preamplifier too!
I have another question on my ADI from 2005, I enter in Spdif from my computer and I go out in analog in a power unit,
when I tried to connect my vynil preamplifier to the analog inputs, the meter indicated there is sound coming in, but I never can to hear my turntable, except when I connected it to a digital amplifier ... so it does DAC and ADC but does not allow input in analog (Input) and output in analog (Output)?

The new one (ADI-2 FS) can do, as described on the product's webpage. And the Pro can do anyway (Preamp mode).
