Topic: DSD file playback

Hi, I am looking to buy an ADI-2Pro to amongst other things playback DSD audio files from an external hard drive connected via USB. Will I be able to see the contents of the USB drive on the ADI's screen to be able to choose which DSD file to play? Thank you.

No, the ADI-2 is not a (network-, etc.- ...) player and therefore doesn’t have a file browser.
ADI-2 Pro is a very advanced USB interface / AD-DA-converter.

You can only connect PC/MAC, ipad, iphone, or android phone. So your harddrive will play, preferably via computer to your ADI.
