Good afternoon everyone. Like the thread title I want to consolidate all my things into ideally one box able to drive my current stack of headphones, future IEM's, with a decent DAC and also be able to serve as an input for my RE320 mic. I've been eying the RME ADI-2 as an example. It ticks all my boxes for what I need, and some others for what I want like the hardware EQ. Are there any other products like this on the market? I'm open to other suggestions as well, I've been thinking of just using my current Motu M2 with a magni amp, but I would really prefer to slim down.

The ADI-2 is really flexible. When I was considering an AIO, I also looked at the Matrix Element X and Questyle CMA Fifteen. On the cheaper end, I also considered the iFi Neo iDSD, but it lacks XLR out.

For price/performance/features the ADI-2 Pro FS R Black Edition is really hard to beat. Lots of satisfied users on this forum. If will be picky, is its amp section for harder to drive HPs. But I think with yours (HP) there will be no problem. You can drive the RME in balanced mode also (using both sockets).
