Topic: ADI8 AE vs ADI8 pro vs ADI8 pro Nuendo

Are those ADI8s basically the same?
Can I mix them for DA conversion and have the same latency?
Thanks for an answer.

Georg

Re: ADI8 AE vs ADI8 pro vs ADI8 pro Nuendo

These units have been built with 2 different DACs and different ADCs, so latency might be different.

Can you tell which models use the same dac?
Thanks, Georg

ADI-8 Pro AD/DA Latency
First Gen, Sample rate 48 kHz
AD            39 - 0.8 ms
DA           106 - 2.2 ms
Roundtrip    145 - 3 ms
(Samples / Milliseconds)

AD: AKM AK5392. DA: AD1855

--------------------------------

Second Gen, Sample rate 48 kHz
AD             39 - 0.8 ms
DA           43.4 - 0.9 ms
Roundtrip    82.4 - 1.72 ms
(Samples / Milliseconds)

AD: AKM AK5392. DA: AD1852.

--------------------------------

Third Gen = ADI-8 DS (supports 96 kHz)

Sample rate  48 kHz        96 kHz
AD         39 - 0.8       39 - 0.4
DA       43.4 - 0.904   87.5 - 0.91
Roundtrip 82.4 - 1.72  126.5 - 1.3

Samples / Milliseconds
   
AD: AKM AK5393. DA: AD1853.

--------------------------------

Anniversary Edition ADI-8 AE
(DS with different ADC, all values identical)

Sample rate  48 kHz        96 kHz
AD         39 - 0.8       39 - 0.4
DA       43.4 - 0.904   87.5 - 0.91
Roundtrip 82.4 - 1.72  126.5 - 1.3

Samples / Milliseconds
   
AD: AKM AK5383. DA: AD1853.

Re: ADI8 AE vs ADI8 pro vs ADI8 pro Nuendo

That would be great, because it own that one AE and would like one to match it.
Thanks for the effort, mc.
