...for a while anyway ;-) I like the RME ADI-2 DAC FS a LOT so I think I'll keep it in my system for a while. I prefer it over the Denafrips Ares II, Topping D90, Chord Qutest that were in my system recently. I'm keeping my six year old PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC but I removed it from my audio rack for now.Top to bottom: PS Audio GCPH MM/MC Phono. KAB modified Technics SL-1200mkII TT. Dynavector DV-20X cartridge.
Sony Blu-ray player. PS Audio GainCell DAC/Pre. PS Audio M700 monoblocks. RME ADI-2 DAC FS. 12-VDC LPS for RME DAC.
5-VDC LPS for Raspberry Pi 4 streamer on top Mac Mini. 2012 Mac Mini. Larger 12-VDC LPS for Mac Mini.

- Is your RME the ESS chip version? - Jon L 10:30:55 10/16/21 (10)
- Serial numbers with "B" suffix use AKM. "C" suffix use ESS - AbeCollins 10:43:09 10/16/21 (9)
