Im planning to add in the future a 500 series EQs and Compressors for mixing/mastering, duties.
Adi 2 pro is sending analogs outs 1/2 to Neumann sub---top monitors
What would be the best way to send audio to the 500 series and back to record from Adi 2 pro ?
Can i send audio thru AES / EBU out , then back to record in Adi 2 Ins ?
IMHO a combination of RME recording interface with TotalMix FX and ADI-2 reference converter.
How to integrate ADI-2 DAC/Pro into recording environment, see my blog:
https://www.tonstudio-forum.de/blog/Ent … our-Setup/
If you get a lunchbox with ADAT support, then a Digiface USB or RayDAT (PCIe) would fit.
I have a Digiface USB + Ferrofish 16 + Ada8200 + Rme adi 2 pro
Pulse 16 + Ada8200 to rec hardware synths and Adi 2 for monitoring
Digiface USB slots are full 
Go MADI 
Can it be connected thru the AES / EBU out , then back in ?

If you can’t use USB:
In AD/DA Converter Mode you can get the routing options needed to use ADI-2 Pro for:
• Monitoring (AES or) Coax/Optical through channel 1/2 to Neumanns.
• Sending AES (or Coax/Optical) via channel 3/4 front TRS to 500 series.
• AD-converting 500 series back and sending to AES (and Coax/Optical).
See manual page 38.

Ah perfect *
Ok so, let me see if i understand.
I can leave the audio system connected as it is, then send channel 3/4 front TRS to 500 series,
then back 500 series to Adi audio Ins and record it in Daw

Danke schön
2 more things i dont undertand :
1*
If i want to connect the AES3 to the Neumann 750kh Sub, how is it connected with what cables ?
2*
when listening to music or working in Daw the audio display analyser is superb but the level meter L/R is showing lower volume, usually at -50. Is this suppose to be like this or am i missing something ? (In my head i think it should metering around 0db volume indicator)

Have a look at the manual page 38.
The AES, Coax and Optical OUTPUTS always carry the same signal (*1).
So, for the intended configuration:
Series 500 -> AD conversion -> AES (or Coax/Optical) out -> recording interface -
ADI-2‘s digital outs are already used.
Therefore Neumann monitors have to be feed by 1/2 analog out like you probably already have it connected.

You can configure the Peak Meter to show the signal pre or post volume control, or both, or absolute analog output voltage in dBu:
SETUP / Options / Display / Hor. Meter: … Pre-FX …
By pressing the Encoders 1 or 2 you can scroll though various main screens, including Line or Phones Out 1/2, Phones Out 3/4, Analog Input, an overview screen of all I/O levels at the same time, etc.
(*1)
Only USB Multi-channel Mode allows independent access to AES or Coax/Optical outs, but this doesn’t help you as you don’t have ADI-2 connected via USB.
Even then you might miss DSP and volume control on AES, so analog monitor connections might be the best option anyway.
