Hi, would anyone know if the ADI-2 remote is compatible with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6?
I've updated the firmware but when I try to open the app it is permanently 'loading' and remains as a grey window (see image attached).

The Remote app works great on my desktop machine with Mojave though ideally my ADI-2 DAC would be connected to an older mac mini running on 10.13.6 that I use as a music server. Any help or advice welcome...thanks.

It's reproducible, I e-mailed you with the ADI-2 Pro FS R BE config file. The firmware version is 120.

When two phones are connected to the front inputs, the PEQ curve for 1/2 can be selected and the sound changes properly.
It seems that only the PEQ curve and the knobs are not being updated.

I wonder why this functionality should be blocked.
The PEQ settings for both phone outputs work properly and independent of each other.

It's also a useful feature for me, when I want to narrow the sound of two different connected headphones, which both have PEQ settings.

In the 1st step, I would like to narrow the Aeon 2 closed back to the sound of the "LCD-3 without PEQ settings".
In the next step, I intend to narrow the sound of the Aeon to the LCD-3 with PEQ settings (modified Harman curve).

For this task, it is very useful being able to manage PEQ settings with the ADI-2 Remote for both headphone outputs.

Hello,
I installed the ADI-2 remote on my mac mini M2 pro (mac os Ventura) and it's work perfectly but the app on my Ipad10 not working (offline all the time) - midi is on. I use V1.31 on IOS17.03
Any idea ?

Ah no sorry, I thought it would also work if the ipad was connected to my mac.

Very useful feature, many thanks !

is there a step by step tutorial?

I need to flash my ADI-2 DAC fs
I need to update the firmware
Then I have to install the remote

All seems quite confusing, various links for various stuff but i dont want to  mess up, but id love the remote so i can control the dac via my PC

edit:

also theres 3 download links, do i need all of them?

Windows Firmware Update Tool (FUT): https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/fut_madiface_win.zip
Windows app with installer, v1.3: https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_win.zip
Windows MADIface series driver: https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/driv … _09827.zip

sorry im just a bit confused

so 1st i do Windows MADIface as this is the latest driver

then I install Windows Firmware Update Tool, this updates of flashes the bios on the dac

then lastly i install the Windows app with installer, v1.3  which is the ADI-DAC fs Windows remote

am i correct?

thanks

I did it, i must say this UI is way more user friendly than pressing the buttons on the unit, way more control and easy to configure the settings

I did try to create a few EQ profiles, i hit the store button but the different settings do not transfer to the device, maybe im doing somthing wrong

but seems really cool so far, need to get familiar i suppose.

I've used this on my ADI-2 Pro now for a while and it works great.

Unlike the interface on the physical product, it's really intuitive!

One thing I haven't been able to figure out though, is how to only listen to a single band in the EQ. Is that possible?

EDIT: Wow, if you use the Windows key to input an emoji, it kills the rest of the post!

True.

No, USB signals can’t be “mixed” this way.

An USB client/slave can have one host/master only.

Now I understand that I cannot use the remote if the ADI-2's USB input is occupied.  Thank you @KaiS!

However, because I would like to use the remote, I am thinking of converting my Roon End Point to outputing to SPDIF/RCA instead of USB.

But in this case, I have been led to believe that I would lose the wonderful benefits of the ADI-2 FS clock accuracy, since the "master clock" would now be the Roon End Point's clock and not the ADI-2 clock.

Is that correct? 

If so, is there a setting in the ADI-2 that would allow the ADI-2 FS clock to be the "master" ?

Apologies for the newbie questions, but you have been so helpful, that I am taking advantage ! 

As a new user to RME and the ADI-2 DAC FS, I just want to say that this software is amazing. I'm not sure I would have bought one earlier as I need EQ and it would have taken a long time to get it set up with the knobs and buttons but having seen that this is available, I bought one and had it dialed in within a couple of hours. I don't think I've ever been so impressed by a program in 45 years of experience with computers.

My only comments are that IMHO the balance control should be saved with the presets rather than settiings (I have mentioned this to support) and that it might be better named as 'Control' or something as we also have a remote control and the two are very different. Absolutely no complaints otherwise, Remote has made this device an absolute pleasure to use.

May I ask a question about the protocol?

I Intend to use an external hardware knob to control the main volume via SysEx messages. From the documentation I cannot identify a way to send an incremental volume change (let's say +0.5db): when I send the command, the device (ADI-2 DAC) automatically changes the absolute volume to +0.5db, instead of increasing the current volume by 0.5db. Is there any way or example, how to achieve the latter?

Anyway, thanks for sharing an amazing app and Midi details with the community!

@willem,

Check what gfxcard your laptop has:

”The app uses the same graphics engine as DigiCheck NG, so the same system requirements apply: Windows 10 or higher, and a graphics card that supports Direct3D 12. This might exclude some older computers, even when running Windows 10, for example with Intel integrated graphics HD4600 and HD4000.”

Intel HD Graphics 4000 works
Deactivate the graphics driver so that Window 10 uses the basic driver for the graphics. Then Remote or DigiCheck NG should work.

@weme,

Ref your referenced post, seems like your laptop has dual gfxcards:

” Features from E6530:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3360M CPU @ 2.80GHz with HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA NVS 5200M (supports Direct3D-DDI 12 with Feature Level max. 11_0) ”

I’ve got a 10 year old Dell laptop with dual gfxcards, by activating the Nvidia card ADI-2 Remote works, not so with Intel gfx card.

@willem,
Check if your laptop also has dual gfxcards.

MC.
Please add network remote over local remote.
PC/MAC connected via USB to ADi2. To the Local remote App add server-client architecture.
Network remote client on the PAD(Ipad) connected to local network work remotely with ADI2.
ADI2 DAC users will do standing applause!
ADI2 Pro users go to do RME Oscar award company on the world.

Matthais, thank you for these new features and updates!! Great work!

It's clearly (!) stated in post 1 that your graphics card does not support Direct3D 12.

It never was.

It‘s no more.

It‘s the other way round - iPad could/can run iPhones apps, with the same or a 2x scaled GUI.

There are a lot of apps that run on both, not all of them fully optimized.
It’s an extra effort for the developers.

Mac App V. 1.3: VERY NICE to have this software! Thanks a lot!

But I would like the GUI to allow a little more contrast and/or brightness. My Apple Thunderbolt display is always at 100% brightness when using this app and yet my old eyes wanted more of it.
Thanks for reading.

I'm unable to select a sample rate in the UI, is this normal? My device is set to 44.1 even though amazon music reports the stream is 96

Edit: I was able to change the sample rate using "C:\Windows\System32\madifaceusb.exe"
Is changing sample rates from ADI-2 Remote planned for a future release?
Also would like to see the ability to lock the in app controls on a specific output while leaving the on device and IR remote operations working. Is this possible? It seems easy to mis-click and make a mistake if the UI is left unlocked, but then I can't change the music volume with the remote anymore.

Got it, yeah it was weird that Amazon music wasn't trying to set the sample rate on the device. I think it would be useful to add a tooltip beside the displayed sample rate in app to direct users to use the madifaceusb.exe app to change sample rate if they wanted to override it.
