And because we are living in times of YouTube, here is a link to the latest ADI-2 Pro and DAC video, showing some of the improvements that our firmware updates brought to these units. This video was shot a few weeks ago, therefore does not show the latest renamed menu entries. Yeah, the filming guys really hate us

You have Show Volume Screen set to off. So why should it go on then?

Hi

It works !

Great !

Then you have either the Dark Volume Screen or the Dark Details screen active. In these there is no Volume screen shown when adjusting volume, so Dark mode stays active.

I will put this on our wish list to interrupt AutoDark with these two screens as well, but technically if that worked before then it was a bug.

dark mode enabled / volume screen on

any version prior to v. 32 worked as I described screen goes off - rotate volume knob, white ring lights up and display shows last screen used (turning encoders does the same)

after v. 32 (same settings) turning volume knob or encoders- no light ring or display - press volume knob or encoders display lights as in previous version.

this change occurred post v. 32 and not prior

for now I will continue with v. 30 to keep the settings as I prefer

Really nice overview and to see how much additional value RME added to this product over the last 3 (!!) years.
And these were only the most important updates ...

I added this to the list of RME product videos in my blog:

If I find some more time, then I plan to add the Synthax videos as well.

MC, your Pro manual does not introduce the DIM function at all.

I also read the DAC manual, and find it difficult to understand it. What's the purpose of it? What kind if problem does it solve?

Some users don't want to mute, they want to temporarily lower the volume. That's all. No one needs to use it if he don't need it. Some will.

Same here. Change came with ver. 32

I quite like the Auto Dark mode meaning the display stays off. If you need to get the display to come on, you can press the big volume button twice (which goes to 3/4 and then back to 1/2) or press the up then down encoders, or press the small vol button three times.

Previously there was no way to keep the screen black, so I like the new v32 approach.

I wanted to add my voice because I am having the same issue, yet I really like the AutoDark feature and would like to continue to use it.

I HAVE verified that Show Vol. is set to ON.

Prior to ver. 32, when I would turn the volume knob or other encoder knobs, as said earlier, the screen would come on and I could adjust the volume.

Now, turning the volume knob does not turn the screen on so you cannot see what adjustments you are making until you turn Autodark off.

If we could have this feature work the way it did previously it would be much appreciated. This combination of features was something I use often with the Dac. Thanks

This is strange, because I just tested it on both of my units (ADI-2 Pro FS BE and ADI-2 DAC):

AutoDark Mode    -> ON
Show Vol. Screen -> ON

Turning big Vol encoder and B/T encoder reactivate the display.

I wouldn't say that's issue. When the display is toggled to Detail Screen (black and white colours) then Detail Screen shows up as expected.   When Volume Screen toggled - also shows up as expected.  It's obvious that the display shows what you have toggled before.
Any toggled lately screen shows up while rotating encoders or operating by remote.

I can't believe our units behave in different ways. I say again - running v32 on my ADI-2 DAC - everything works fine for me.

Or maybe we completely misunderstand each other?

Matthias, in every other release, with AutoDark enabled, turning the volume or other knobs has caused the screen to temporarily light up so you can see what changes you've made.

If I have AutoDark enabled, and Show Vol. set to on, what other setting(s) do I need to change to bring the above behavior back?

It works like that unless you have Dark Volume or Details screen active during AutoDark. You even quoted that. Don't know how to make this more clear.

Matthias, the problem is this is new and undesirable behavior with this release.

In prior versions, turning the volume knob even on the Dark Volume screen would turn AutoDark off briefly and show the Dark Volume screen so you can see what the volume setting is.

Now it stays off and this is not helpful. It is a big step backward in terms of AutoDark functionality.

You have many customers on this very thread commenting on the same thing.

In a future release we would like to have the old functionality back please. AutoDark should temporarily turn off/the screen should turn back on any time one of the knobs (volume, 1, 2) is turned, regardless of what screen it's on.

Thanks.

When starting up my ADI-2 DAC shows version V.32.. Still my EQ is not resetting after factory reset.. Please wht am I doing wrong.

It is not accurate that the AutoDark issue only occurs on Dark Volume or Details screens.

It now occurs on most screens I've tested it on.

For example, on the I/O screen when I want to adjust DA filter settings using knob 2, it will not turn on the screen when the knob is turned like it used to. It seems to me that none of the three knobs turn on the screen for a few seconds when in AutoDark mode like they used to.

The way it worked on every other release was that turning these knobs on (any screen I tested) would turn the screen on for a few seconds, and then it would turn off again.

We would like this functionality back please on a future update, it was a big part what made AutoDark a very useful and preferred feature.

Thanks MC! Have you considered to add the possibility to set "Source: Auto" with the remote?
The automatic selection of source is a really useful feature. In certain case, I must press "USB" to "force" it, and then I need to go to the unit menu to activate the automatic mode again.
To be able to re-set the automatic mode on the remote would be very useful

MC, and RME Team,

Thank You for yet another refinement to the already superb RME Product.   While I wasn't experiencing any problems beforehand, I installed the FW to ensure I WON'T have a problem in the future.   

RMEs committment to Excellence is most Noteworthy!  Viele Dank!

Herzlich Glückwunsch für einen Schön Tag der Deutschen Einheit!!!

Zum Wohl!!!

Curt

Hi!
I am trying to install the last update for my RME Adi-2 DAC FS, I downloaded the fut_madiface_win.zip on computer, extracted the fut_mfusb3.exe but I cannot succeed to launch it under Windows 10 (as administrator). I tryied on 4 different computers, including one with Windows 7. I turned off the antivirus, but the same result. Can you please help me with that? Thank you!
