Just listening to a vinyl disc through my ADI-2/4 Pro SE.

The connected chain is absolutely high end:
• Sony PSX-800 Biotracer turntable.
• Dynavector Karat 17D MK II MC pickup.
• Ortofon T-30 step up transformer.
• ADI-2/4 Pro SE running a dedicated EQ for:
• Raal SR1a ribbon headphones / Jotunheim R.
Running the ADI-2 on 192 kHz leaves nothing to desire.


The digital RIAA preamp inside ADI-2 is superior to most analog solutions I’ve ever heard.

The key is:
Bypassing loads of analog electronics, usually needed for the RIAA EQ, pays off with an absolutely transparent sound.


Simply connect the ADI-2/4 Pro SE to the Fireface via AES, Optical or Coax digital.
