Thanks for posting the solution and your discovery. I also was experiencing dropouts and as @Mr BubbaHyde mentioned I had also done both the Roon update and the iFi Stream at around the same time so it was hard to determine where the issue was. I made the changes to the Roon settings suggested...

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't expecting it this soon. It's a game changer for me. I had originally sent back an RME ADI-2 as I found it too finicky to work with, but I missed the features so much I ordered another one. If this Remote had been available then I probably would have kept the...

I have some of these coming in the next couple of days and am eagerly looking forward to trying them out. I currently have the 660S and this thread has peaked my interest in the 660S2. Fortunately in Mexico the price on Amazon (10,300 pesos, including 16% tax)) was the equivalent of about 545...

@Mr BubbaHyde congrats! Your help here has been invaluable.

I have a question re the remote control operation. I want to use the remote to select the optical input but there's no button on the remote for the optical setting. Is there any way at all to use the remote to cycle inputs to get to the optical in. Thanks. UPDATE: Never mind it was a seniors...

It's interesting you mention this. I too have noticed this on my Matrix Mini-i 3 pro recently. In my case it's intermittent so it's been hard to troubleshoot. I'll keep you posted if I find the source of it. Do you have an external amp connected by any chance? (could be a ground loop)

My apologies. I corrected my post as I had tip/sleeve indicated for both of them. Should be tip/ring for one and tip/sleeve for the other.

The Beyer cable is wired differently than the Hifiman cable. One uses tip/ring configuration and the other uses tip/sleeve on the headphone plugs. Sorry I can't remember which is which but I discovered it when making my own cables.

It's a good question as there have been some changes to RME's lineup over the years. The only recent change has been the addition of a new Pro offering that has a balanced 4.4mm output and some updated internals. The ADI-2 DAC FS has only had chip changes as far as I'm aware. Due to a fire at...

Glad you got it working! Enjoy.

Try opening device settings in Roon. (Click on the volume control in the Roon app and then on the settings icon). At the bottom there is a an audio device section, there you click on Device info and it will take you to a screen where you can switch to USB. This is weird as the more common issue...

@Mr BubbaHyde I wish you all the best with your surgery. May it go well and you recover soon!

For me it would be nice to hear how the Neo stream compares at its best, so with the Optibox. I look forward to your thoughts! Thanks...

I use the RME without the EQ features and for me the killer feature is the variable loudness control. I generally listen to music at lower volumes and find the Loudness feature has greatly enhanced my listening pleasure. Also the internal amp is great for most of my headphone listening.

Thanks for your ongoing reviews. I, too, have the RME currently paired with an iFi Stream and would be interested in your thoughts comparing the RME/iFi stream combo vs the RME/Neo Stream. Any noticeable differences with the Neo as a streamer?

A simple referral to the NDH 30 thread would be sufficient to point out a potential alternative and then we can choose if we want to check them out. Your constant trolling is not helping out your cause.

That may curtail the daily offers I get to help clean up my room! I refer to it as organized chaos!

Nice setup, I'm going to show this picture to my wife when she remarks on how much gear I have! Looking forward to the results...enjoy...

Let’s all go over there and profess our love for the 660s!

I'm enjoying your reviews and they have me wanting to try the Neo. @iFi audio please make this available in Mexico either through Amazon or on your Mexican site....thank you.

@Mr BubbaHyde Thank you for the great detailed and thorough review of the Neo Stream! I'm especially looking forward to your impressions of the Neo Stream DAC vs. the RME ADI-2 (which I believe you still own) and also comparisons between the Neo Stream and the Zen Stream using Roon. Your reviews...

Yes, it really does suck, especially when so little is known about it and many doctors dismiss it as psychosomatic symptoms. Thankfully I have a very supportive wife and great music to help though the rough days. All my best to you as well @Mr BubbaHyde! And I'm looking forward to picking up a...

All my best to you. I can't imagine having a cancer diagnosis on top of Long Covid. And yes music is a great therapy....

@ctrlm Glad to hear you're recovering well. I have been diagnosed with what may be long Covid and it sure isn't a treat. Thank goodness listening to music is a great therapy. @Mr BubbaHyde Thank you both for sharing your impressions on the iFi Neo Stream. I'm looking forward to trying one out...

For those of us with limited data plans that would be ideal. Also... according to twitter the announcement time is today at 16:00 UTC...google it for your local time....
