Thanks for your answer. I will try to explain a bit more of what i want to achieve.

Yes i mix in FL Studio and i have no need for totalmixfx no. I have my vst masterchain in FLstudio.

I want to have one of the best dacs out there with the best latency it gives. I read that RMe makes the best possible performance drivers. I hope this is the case for this 1699€ black edition too.

I want to connect my DT1990 pro headphones and read that it is world class second to none headphone outputs.

So while producing the Black edition must work flawless and have proper low latency. I know it depends on the cpu etc. But you know what i mean. Latency must not be less than my current 8i6, which is decent already. So when i hook the black edition to my imac and it performs less i will feel that it is inferior which i do not believe will happen.

So when i am done arranging i will be mixing and need the 3d spectrum to be clean clear and wide so i can surgically place my instruments in the spectrum. My DT1990 pros connected to the Topping a30 pro already give a proper translaten of a mix but i want to be sure that the Black Edition will surpass the current 8i6 A30 Pro dt1990pro combi, sound stage and quality wise.

Then for the mastering i only use vst plugins on the master, fabfilter eq, ozone5, ozone 7 Dynamic EQ, Vintage warmer2, Fabfilter L2.
And when i adjust these i want the Black edition to give me the cleanest translation of the effects / eq / compression / limiting applied. Again my 8i6 does the trick but i believe the black edition will bring something more to the table by reading the specs and watching tons of positive yt vids.

Last but not least, currently i have hooked up the Clarity M Stereo to the spdif out of my 8i6 giving me a perfect representation of lufs, vectorscope image and levels per band. The black edition has an optic out so this should work too.

And finally i am a sucker for external non cpu hurting displays, which is the case with the black edition, i have not seen a device with such a gorgeous display.

There and that’s my case.

And on this bombshell, the question remaining, will the ADI-2 Fs R Black edition serve its purpose in this case. Wanting the best quality translation of the mix and master for my own productions. I want to save time by having the best possible output translation during this whole process, iso only listening after rendering a track out. When i hear something that needs to be tweaked i want to be able to jump back into the mix and edit, correct and render out again.

My monitors being: Neumann Kh310A.

On the black edition there is only one balanced stereo XLR out. So this switch box you suggested could let me connect a second pair of monitors via the TS connectors 3/4.

So my theory is, the Adi-2 Fs R BE will serve its purpose. But only a producing Black Edition owner will know.
