Amazing product, don't hesitate to buy and try it out.
I would choose the ADI-2 Pro FS for studio, because it has an A/D and two D/A converter. More conveniant i.e. if you want to test two phones ... and it also supports AES and higher studio levels.
The ADI-2 DAC is perfect in front of a HiFi, be it amp or preamp.
But you can also use the ADI-2 DAC if you want.
Sound quality is superb. Dynamic Loudness works very nice for me if I listen silently to music and need to work for my job at the same desk where my recording corner is.
I have both, here my setup roughly:
Some devices changed ... BluRay player is now an Oppo
Or whats also possible .. in terms of combining Recording Interface and ADI-2 Pro
- using ARC USB
- using TotalMix FX Remote via Windows Tablet
- testing different converters
- testing difference with or without preamp on the HiFi amp
