RME positions the ADI-2 as a converter instead of an interface & I hope they change their approach here.
TM FX costs exactly €357 for this device... HOW ?!
1. Get an Digiface USB

2. Integrate ADI-2 DAC/Pro it into your setup as I described in a blog: https://www.tonstudio-forum.de/blog/ind … our-Setup/
You might argue now, oh .. €357 on top ... but I could bet that the integration of TM FX into ADI-2 DAC/Pro would lead to a much more expensive product considering all the changes that would need to be done.
DIGIface USB and thus TotalMix FX you can buy at an attractive price, because this product is not so complex in terms of construction. In addition, you get an additional product, which can be easily taken along for mobile use due to its compact format.
You can connect both devices to your PC (Digiface USB and ADI-2 Pro) and you could e.g. store two different setups on the ADI-2 Pro for the following two use cases:
a) to listen DSD, then I would load a setup to get DSD audio from USB
b) for mixing and mastering route audio through the Digiface USB, in TotalMix FX use the Assign button to assign Main Out to the ADAT Output where your ADI-2 Pro is being connected.
It's possible now and will at the end be cheaper and offer to you more features as you can also use the two devices separated from each other.
