Topic: ADI-2 in 2024?

https://www.rme-usa.com/files/uploads/RME-Products/Converter/ADI-2.png
I need some advice.
Is it worth buying such an almost 20-year-old RME in 2024?
It would work between a WIIM Pro and a HIFIMAN XS.
I will use it only with headphones.
The other version is a new FIIO K7. A newer RME does not fit into the budget.

Yes

M1-Sonoma, Madiface Pro, Digiface USB, Babyface silver and blue

But only if the price is right. And does the WIIM not have a headphones out? I am not sure you should expect a real difference if it does.

Sadly you didn't mention your budget :-/
Does the new ADI-2 FS fit?

The WIIM does not have a headphone output.
My budget is about 350-400€.
This is how much this older RME costs.

I have one of these interfacing with/clocking a Quantec Yardstick into a TT patchbay. These interfaces are an excellent tool for all sorts of uses.
