Topic: RME ADI-2 DAC FS - Wake from input

Good day all,

The DAC is permanently on in an entertainment area, 2 floors above. Connected to a system that sends music to controllable rooms throughout the house.

I would like to switch it to stand by and have an input when activated (say a song is played in Roon) turn the DAC from standby to on. Priority would be USB, then Toslink.

In the IT industry, we can do this with a Wake on LAN command. Audio seems different.

Wondering if this is at all possible with a setting or a workaround, outside of a remote power switch?

Thanks for anyone's assistance

Not possible due to limitation at existing hardware .....

Just leave it permanently on, or try other smart home application to power it up and send a remote signal to it to turn it on.

Thanks for the reply Johannes AU.

I suspected as much and it remains on for now.

Cheers.
