I'm a little unclear about the difference, in the RME ADI-2 DAC FS, between DoP and DSD Direct modes.

EDIT:
Update: This page answered my question:
https://ifi-audio.com/faqs/dop-versus-asio-native-what-are-the-differences-similarities/ ]

In DoP mode, when I'm playing a DSD file, USB Audio Player Pro shows me what I expect to see, that the DSF file is a DSD64 file that plays at a sample rate of 2.8MHz, and that its bit-depth is one bit:
USB DAC: DSD 2.8MHz DSF: DSD 2.8MHz 1bit

But in DSD Direct mode, UAPP shows me this:
USB DAC: 352.8kHz DSF: DSD 2.8MHz 1bit

Has anyone in the US found a store selling the ESS version? The few places I've asked were either unaware of the change or stated they haven't received the new version yet.

I am thinking of getting something like this with 12V DC out, to make the ADI-2 more mobile around the house. Has anyone tried it or a similar powerbank?

Thank you for that! Somehow I missed that post. I think I will go with the 3S2P 18650 configuration. Cheers.

Could anyone recommend a reliable/quality adapter to use 4.4mm headphones with the RME ADI-2 DAC's 1/4" output?
Looking for a high quality and transparent solution, if anyone has any recommendations for an adapter that impacts the SQ as little as possible.

Cool, I ordered a 3S3P battery pack. I use the PEQ, crossfeed etc., so let's see how long it is going to last. I will report back hopefully soon.

I just received my 3S3P battery pack. Unfortunately the connector was missing but managed to find one at home. Now I have a gorgeous sounding "movable" DAC/DSP/amp!

What a coincidence. Also received the ESS DAC today. As expected, no audible difference. This one goes to the living room for driving the active speakers and occasional HP'ing.

Did you compare balanced out vs single ended. If so, I'd be curious if you notice a difference.

I was wondering if anyone is playing SACDs through the RMI?
I am going from a Sony XA5400ES player to the RMI, then to a Woo WA22.
Most of my CDs are Redbook, but I have a few SACDs. With the hybrid SACDs, I get no output from the RME.
Are there any settings I can change to make them audible?

I didn't notice any audible change other than the power.

I am thinking of getting this for some Adam A5X speakers and HD 660s. I rarely use the headphones but will the RME mute the XLR (and RCA) outputs to the speakers if you plug in headphones automatically? Also can you leave the headphones plugged in and just switch between outputs? I was thinking of a Schiit Jot 2 but I like that the RME has the option of Optical or USB inputs. ( MY Fiio K5 Pro has brutal noise from my PC with USB or Optical but I am a little nervous only getting a DAC with USB input).
Also does anyone know what the warranty period is in Canada by chance. I couldn't see a specific length in the RME manual.
