New functions and features - Firmware Update for ADI-2 Pro & ADI-2 DAC FS

[@RMEAudio]

Merry Christmas!

[@___joez]

Thank you guys so much I love my adi2 pro. Amazing product

[@rumporridge1]

Just ordered the Pro model Dac. Happy Holidays to my German brethren.

[@RMEAudio]

@@rumporridge1 You’ll have a lot of fun with it!

[@RMEAudio]

@@___joez Glad you like it!

[@TechReflex]

Can't overstate how amazing this is, ability to change EQ with remote was SO important! So happy that you added that, and the new colors for the analyser are also great to have. :) all other new features are also very well thought out, this is way bigger than a typical firmware update (for any device). Thanks. 😁

[@RMEAudio]

This is a great example for why our RME forum is so important. You are always in touch with the developers directly. Hence, feature requests are way easier to do ;)

Wow just when you think this product couldn't get any better. Thanks for all of your hard work RME.

[@RMEAudio]

Thank you, we are dedicated to improve our products as long as we can :)

[@elieguillaumes9042]

Outstanding, everyday is a pleasure to use my RME adi-2 dac fs and having such support and product longevity is a huge plus! Keep up the good work!

[@RMEAudio]

Thank you :)

[@bits-bytes]

Outstanding, many thanks to Matthias Carstens and Team !!!

[@RGMDG]

Outstanding. I just purchased the ADI-2 Pro FS this week and have listened to a variety of music. Loving it so far. Side note, I have a pair of AKG K701 headphones (for 7 years) and I have NEVER been impressed at all with them, they were below average in my opinion. The ADI-2 has brought them to life. Quite remarkable. Very impressed.

[@brave1671]

Now you know that k701 are far above average 🙂

[@RGMDG]

@@brave1671 yes. I actually really like them now. Totally changed how they sound to me.

[@patrickdanneker5480]

Best audio purchase I made in recent years.

[@RMEAudio]

And you’ll enjoy the ADI for years to come!

[@bolttracks]

The encoder filter is huge and I feel like a lot of other companies would completely ignore those issues. Back when I used Antelope, my Zen Tour’s volume knob would jump sometimes by 20 dB when trying to adjust output level or input gains 🙄

[@ianorigbo7617]

I can't wait to upgrade the firmware. Seasons greetings to all.

[@0e0]

the smoothing filter on the encoders is a brilliant innovation

[@Ali-ei3nk]

Yes very usefull !

[@Maver1ck911]

Wow... I was on 27USB DSP 33. That was quite the catch up! Thank you for caring so much about your customers! (I also suppose I "lucked" out with the last run of AKM chipped ADI 2 DAC FS's)

[@Notinpotatoquality]

I goticky with a amk one too

[@mauanderuk]

The Best DAC just gets better thanks for the continued enhancements

[@RMEAudio]

Thank you :)

[@jcgoobee]

I've owned the ADI-2 FS for a bit over a year now and I can't tell you how happy I am with it. This is one of the best, if not the best audiophile equipment that I have purchased in the past 10 years. Great work RME. You've made awesome products and keep up the amazing work!

[@MerajTypeBeat]

Gotta love RME. Thank you for this! 🙏🏽

[@frankcross2297]

Just received my RME ADI-2 DAC FS. Love it. How RME packs all of this functionality into a small package amazes me! Updating the firmware was easy and the EQ is very intuitive. Keep up the great work all.

[@RMEAudio]

We will!

[@bmt_techno]

Wow!!! A potential customer has now been influenced to buy your amazing product even more! Fantastic update.

Frohe Weihnachtszeit und Danke für das Update Grüße

[@sommers1975]

I can't find the toggle feature on ADI2 PRO FS - was this not included for ADI-2 PRO FS?

[@tobihenki6957]

Tolle Features. Danke! Macht echt Spaß euer Produkt! Weiter so!

[@andreshrimski1391]

Fantastic to get these updates, thanks! I’m wondering if there’s the ability to adjust the speaker dim level?

[@jponsie]

Just keeps getting better. Thanks RME for the great product. In an upcoming updated, could you set something so you can specify/limit the output voltage from the xlr. E.g I’m feeding into an amp with 2.6Vrms. Think it works out to about 10.5dbu, would be great to have that locked to the max.

[@RMEAudio]

We have exactly what you need. The feature is called “Volume Lock”. Give it a try!

[@jponsie]

@@RMEAudio thanks I’m currently using that. Just meant doing it by output Vrms rather than dbu. Nothing a conversion calculator can’t help solve.

[@MichaelPsyrras]

Thanks for the support!! Frohe Weinachten

[@surr3a179]

Very nice features guys! I have a weird question for you: is it technically possible to implement Track info/Album artwork for the screen? It is obviously a good color screen and there is absolutely nothing on the market that provides also the album info? Thank you!

[@Tacet137]

Black rack mounts pls

[@SAM-sez]

Hi . I just love the RME ad 2 FS Dac ! Hi. Quick questions. 1) How to recall or toggle multiple EQ settings from my remote if I run out of dedicated buttons on remote. Meaning is there a way to toggle multiple EQ settings with just one dedicated remote button so that I don’t run out of dedicated buttons on my remote . 2) How to make my EQ setting ( my graphic display setting ) stay on the RME display indefinitely and not return back to any other screen like volume or the bouncing parametric display? Thank you.

[@dannybourne_]

*Incredible products, PRO presentation* - Danke sehr.

[@RMEAudio]

Vielen Dank!

[@krass76]

huge updates! any you even gave us a "none" on the DC Filter!!!

[@RMEAudio]

Glad you like it!

[@b.hornetiii.6771]

So, when you want the best, purest (identical to the source) sound from ADI -2 Pro FS XLR inputs (audio) you go for "none" filter mode? Or some other setting?

[@memeswillneverdie]

Hi there, I’m not sure if I would be able to get any advice on this but I’m wondering since the ADI 2 DAC FS has loopback functionality does that mean I could play for instance a high quality lossless file and record it and then store it as a WAV file or is the loopback only for DIGICHECK

[@musicmarauder7148]

I would have gone for this if not exhausted my budget on a Chord Mojo 2. Waiting for Christmas this year!

[@FerrisTetris]

RME are my favourite group of engineers. :D

[@bertraminc9412]

Wonderful product. Wonderful company. Made in Germany!

[@dxmat]

Lovely encoder filter.

[@wolf242.]

I have adi 2 dac fs, after the update I do not have additional display colors, please help

[@fabianchavez8219]

I have a question. Is it possible to adjust how quickly the volume knob affects the volume? I want to be able to go from 0 to 100 volume with a single 360 degree turn of the knob. Interested in buying this DAC but I need fast volume response.

[@dannybourne_]

Absolutely incredible quality product.

[@RMEAudio]

Thank you :)

[@tubecrap1]

Thank you RME for your precious work! A really unbelievable device. Cannot believe how much routing capabilities and well thought feature this device allready delivered and now with this current firmware update delivers. The possibility to use the EQ on the Output, and then on the Input as well (when using it as DAC/ADC for processing singals) is alone worth the price of "additional" outboard and is just there for free. Even on the Phone Outputs - (for which i already spent 4 of the 20 storage places). The EQ is a killer! The device is a killer! Just curious if you would be able to provide the USB 1/2 input to the Main Output 1/2 selector in "AC/DA Converter" Mode ;)

[@QoraxAudio]

How do you add so much complex features? I mean, things like output loopback is normally a thing that can only be done by hardware (wiring). Does this device contain an FPGA? Because FPGAs allow such fundamental changed to be done by programming.

[@rustyshackleford4117]

How do you change the screen color? Been trying to figure that out since I got this thing and I’m pretty sure it’s not covered in the manual…

[@adinvirtual]

Hi, I would like to buy this device for my Bluesound Node streamer but I wonder if it plays MQA format (Tidal-Master).

[@unc1589]

That loopback function solves a few key problems. This thing is way more than a DAC. Far surpasses the audiophile and crosses over into the production side of things. Sample production can take advantage of EQ on every output. So many things.

[@felixb9078]

Hi! Is there any update on the availability in 2022? I'm searching for a german distributor where I can buy RME products, but everything seems to be out of stock? It seems like you also are affected by the chip shortage?

[@Gem-Ex]

Amazing. Big RME fan.

[@JayGreezy]

anyone know if the DACs in the ADI and PRO are the same? I really only need it for a DAC am I wasting money to get the PRO?

[@letsgobrandon6545]

I had a dream, when I control my ADI2 from Win software. And then I woke up. Merry Christmas.

[@madcrabber1113]

Can you do firmware updates on this via wifi or does this need to be connected via ethernet wire?

[@MagnumOpus007]

Merry Christmas! Matthias, quick question: I'm playing blu ray audio discs (hi res audio music in 24/96 resolution) and my ADI-2 DAC state overview only receives it as 24/48 and sometimes 16/48. I'm using optical connections. I know it's the Blu-Ray player at fault (Panasonic DMP-BDT360). What player does RME recommend to play hi-res audio discs into the ADI-2 DAC? I think I need a better player, so my ADI-2 receives proper 24/96 as the disc intends. I've tried adjusting every setting on the player and no luck.

[@dariohorwatt4330]

Throughout 20 years I have tried all kinds of devices, ranging from middle level to pro level. Like Roland, Tascam, E-MU, UAD, Apogee, Antelope, Avid, you name it I tried it. There is nothing like the RME. By that, I mean right from the drivers which are so good that if something is not working properly then it's your computer not the drivers (unlike other interface vendors which fail constantly on the driver level). Right down to the features and build quality. It is as if somewhere at the top level of RME headquarters there's a group of people who always say "Look, we are not going to release that until it meets our known standard" which is very rare these days where a bunch of "product managers" are rushing releases (just look how Antelope was and is failing with their DSP plugins - read gear space forums). My friend is always laughing when I say to him that comparing RME to all other interfaces is like comparing an Eagle to a chicken. Been enjoying the ADI-2 line for some time now. Keep up the good work and stay on your logic.

[@raztube90]

If my DAW is open is it a good idea to have auto stand by on?

[@mimidhof2179]

Wonderfull, but I still wait for a mastering suite for ADI 2 Pro from RME. Knowing the serious, reliability and dedication of the brand it could be a great source of revenue

[@RMEAudio]

Have you tested out DIGICheck?

[@gastonguev]

Por que sale DC Protection? para que sirve? que se debe hacer en este caso?

[@GloomA1]

I would like to see some new features in the totalmix software. For example an option to lock channels in the totalmix mixer so while I'm mirroring an output i can exclude locked channles (inputs and software playback).

[@terrylewis3365]

Ich habe folgendes Problem: Ich habe dieses Update durchgeführt. Vor dem Update war es und auch jetzt stoppt die Wiedergabe plötzlich von sich selbst. Ich habe im Player ASIO Madiface gewählt. Am Player liegt es nicht, denn ich habe die Treiber komplett deinstalliert und es hat auch ohne Treiber funktioniert. Das Gerät wurde im Windows erkannt. Ich habe nun die Treiber wieder installiert um das Update installieren zu können. Danke für die Antwort. Bernard

Hallo Bernard, hast du unseren Support schon kontaktiert?

[@bernardgil4397]

@@RMEAudio hallo, ich habe Support kontaktiert. Hier besagte Problem sei bei euch nicht bekannt. Der Mitarbeiter hat gefragt ob der Fehler mit einer anderen Software reproduzierbar ist.

Der Wandeler ist mit XLR zu einem externen Kopfhörerverstärker angeschlossen. Danke
