Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here?

Thanks for your opinions. 

There are a few other DAC:s in this price range (more or less) that also are interesting; M2Tech Young, Mytek Liberty, NuPrime DAC-9 and Schiit Gungnir Multibit.

It’s a pity that the rme doesn’t have digital out so you could use just the EQ in it.

The myriad of options is a blessing and a curse. How do you prefer your Q? How about the QA? Sharp or NOS? WTF? I would love to find some user groups that discuss the effect of the parameters on the audio. Some parameters seem to make little difference. Or, am I not listening to the right kind of music to hear the difference? Anyway, if you have some suggestions for parameter settings, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just keep running back and forth from the couch to the DAC playing the beginning of the same song over and over until my wife cries, uncle.

BTW, the RME DAC is fabulous. Although I've not run it head-to-head with a much more expensive DAC.

Another user here. Very happy with the RME. I run mine with a Teddy Pardo power supply which took a fine DAC and made it better. Even with the stock PS don’t use the stock power cord as a quality cord is noticeable. In my system far from dry, clinical or sterile. It will not make poor recordings sound great but I can get through them now and I am running mine direct with no EQ or tone controls adjusted and I run the sharp default filter. Has great PRaT especially with the Teddy, and yes it’s very musical and will keep you up late.

I have had mine for about a month and love it.   It is the best DAC I've ever owned without question.   The bass is tight , deep, with great delineation....  kick drums and upright bass sound incredibly real.   Its well balanced , open , clear.   CLARITY....   in a word.  

The USB implementation works perfectly.   Plug a phone, tablet, computer and it automatically locks on and plays with no need for drivers.   

The adjustments possible are like nothing on consumer hi fi gear.  5 Band PEQ, Loudness, Bass & Treble, Phase, Channel Reversal, Headphone Cross-feed.... width....  pre sets to save your favorite config....  I could go on and on

Visit RMEs site and download the manual, it is 65 pages long....  

This unit replaced a NAD M51 which was a fine DAC , but the RME is superior and a huge value .

Almost forgot to mention you can record any Coax or Opt souce through USB via a computer,  any bit depth or sample rate .   

The headphone section is very good, if I didn't own the Quicksilver Headphone amp I would be very happy with it...
