Thanks for the response! I appreciate it.
I was wondering if anyone is streaming straight from an Ipad to the RME?
I currently use my Laptop and I would like to use my IPad instead. I just don't know how to plug a lightning to USB-A...

Any suggestions?

I believe this is what is typically used for connecting iOS devices to DACs. I have not tried it myself.

Use one of these

Probably better to get the one I linked so they can still charge the device while listening.

Amazon link if the Apple link wasn't enough: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MK0W2AM-Lightning-Camera-Adapter/dp/B01F7KJDIM

Anyone run a decent tube amp hooked up to this little marvel?
I was looking into Woo Audio, seems like a good system.
Anyone try it for the synergy with the ADI?

I'd love to read about impressions on an ADI-2 -> Woo Audio setup.

I use the ADI-2 to an iFi iCan Pro to a pair of HD800, and enjoy it for classical orchestral music, but for all other headphones, I connect directly to the ADI-2.

Quick question for ADI-2DAC's owners:

Did your unit arrive in plastic wrap? Mine is, but the plastic bag containing the cable is ripped open, with the cable taken out. Also, the DAC is not in its default setting, suggesting someone played with it and put it back in the box. Add to the fact that the seller have four negative feedback over the past 12 months of selling used unit as new, I suspect that they sold me an open-box unit, but then wrap it in plastic and sold it as new.

Sorry for the off-topic question but I would appreciate feedback! Thanks!

Which seller did you order from? so that I'll avoid this seller. Thanks.

 

[tekkster]

I'm curious too. Seems like a seller I should avoid.

I'm actually okay with sellers opening packaging if they let me know that ahead of time and, of course, if they honor warranties.

$930 with overnight shipping from Great Britain included. Ordered in the morning and it was on my doorstep the next morning. Just remember that it will come with the euro style power plug. I got an American plug from Bestbuy that morning for $9.

Does anyone have observations / opinions on the "very special IEM output" (RME's words)? Especially in comparison to the Pro's balanced output possibilities.

I'm considering getting one but part of the draw for me is the recording side of the Pro... am I going to feel I'm missing something when listening with iems (which is probably what I'd use it for the most). Flares Gold / Flares Pro are my iems..

As far as I know, it's specialty is being a super quiet jack. The noise floor is so low that highly sensitive IEMs can get pretty loud without having a noise floor distracting the listener. The only sensitive IEMs I have are the KSE1200's, which run through an amp, so I'm not sure I could hear a noise floor. But, that's what I seem to recall reading about.

Any recommendations on what seller to buy this from? I'm in the USA.

 

[tekkster]

I bought from Zenproaudio, no issues, good customer service. They mistakenly sent me one with a European style plug, and rush shipped the US. They said the distributor sent them the wrong version, but they also shipped out the US cable within a week.

But I think they're all pretty good. B&H has great return policies, and I've purchased gear from Sweetwater before and had no issues. GuitarCenter and Reverb both seem to have a good rep, but I've never purchased from those places.

 

[romchique]

I also bought mine from Zenproaudio without any issue. They shipped the next day after purchase and the unit I got was brand new in a sealed box.
