Iuse my Fireface UFX II (Main out) for mixing and it's connected to my active Adam monitor speakers.

Would it be significantly better to use the ADI 2 FS as the converter for the main monitors or is the converter quality in the same quality range? How about the ADI 2 DAC FS or the Pro Version, do they have better conversion than the ADI 2 FS and the Fireface UFX II?


ADI-2 PRO and DAC have slightly higher SNR ie better conversion. Doubt youll hear any difference as this is a couple of db better than UFX. The afforementioned have other qualities though like loudness, 5 band PEQ and bass/treble so it may suit better for your monitors or headphones. I have UCXII(sligthly lesser SNR than UFXII) and ADI 2 DAC. I use the ADI for monitoring. ADI-2 dac/pro have top notch converters. It doesnt mean other RME products are bad or necessarily worse. They all sound great, but I would consider what other functions you need for monitor control.


If you have good ears you might notice small subtle differencies between the different D/A filters of the ADI-2 Pro / DAC. Mostly between "NOS" (because of the Treble falloff) and any of the others.

Selection of different D/A filters this is not a feature of the ADI-2 FS.


The differences are very small. Get one and check yourself.

Instead of getting an ADI-2 FS you could consider to get perhaps ADI-2 DAC FS if Pro is too expensive.

But you can also simply stay with the UFX II .. its a solid product and UFX+/UFXII got both an overhaul of the analog section compared to the former flagship interface UFX.


I hear differences between NOS and the other filters. That's still relatively easy. I'm not so sure about the other filters, although I have noticed a slight preference for a particular D/A filter while listening.

Ultimately, I just wanted to point out that the ADI-2 FS has no such filter switching capability.


He apparently intends to refine his sound, at least that's how I understood his posting. The best way to do that is to listen to the equipment for yourself in your own space, because each of us has different ears, monitors and especially different rooms.


Thanks for the answers! I also think, that the UFX II is a great product with very good converters. But as I see that many big studios have very expensive converters, some in the "esoteric price range" besides their audio interfaces, I thought an upgrade could be an option. If they are too close in quality though, it doesn't make sense to spend the extra cash.


In our world of online order/purchasing it should be no big deal for you to get one and to find out in your environment and with your ears. Ears / tastes can be so different ... but I would try the ADI-2 DAC or Pro FS, not the ADI-2 FS as it is missing all interesting features of the DAC/Pro series of devices.


Ramses: Sorry for bad temper. That said. In my view, DA filter selection maybe is not the unique selling point of ADI-2 DAC/PRO. Good to have options and they have different latencies, but not really revelatory in any way.


In the ADI-2 range of products you have the full implementation of "femtosecond"(FS) jitter supression tech, while the UFXII manual mentions "steadyclock". I dont know if they are the same or different iterations.


Of course, the speakers, all components in the signal chain are also important and it is certainly not bad that in the RME design the clock is refreshed again and jitter is taken out and ultimately converted with the local clock D/A.


FS clock has not been implemented to all RME devices yet.

It was newly introduced with the ADI-2 DAC FS, then it followed for the Pro FS and the other products got it.

Babyface Pro FS, AIO Pro, UCX II.


Cant disagree with this. Would prefer higher SNR though, even if its not directly percieved. As for our man Peter here, Hardware based(relays+some op-amp ladder) reference level switches are great for component and level matches, truly a USP of the ADI-2 range.

I'm trying to find the best way to achieve the highest image quality I can get given that the 2 DVI-I ports are already being used by 2 other monitors using 2 DVI-I to VGA adapters. As such I have 2 options so far with the final goal being running 3 monitors at once.


I tested an HDMI to VGA converter, but the quality loss was worse than it was for the VGA splitter. Even if that worked, it seems I can't get to work 3 monitors at once by using this configuration, that's why I read on the internet that I have to go for a DisplayPort to VGA converter.


I have on occasion used the DNG converter. I have never been able to see any degree of image degradation from converting the DNG when comparing the DNG file with the original raw file. I have done this with my own images, mostly NEF files from Nikon, as well as other formats from other manufacturers. Your comparison could possibly be between the embedded JPEG preview that the camera displays (because the camera cannot display the raw data) and the actual raw data that is displayed when you are actually working on the image. How are you comparing the DNG to the original raw data?


I am not comparing the jpeg previews (which are really poor quality) with the original files. I am comparing the Raws shown by Windows preview with the DNG once imported in LR (with the same the zoom). Colors of the DNG are much less saturated and the the worst problem regards the picture noise which is highly visible on the DNG and almost absent in the RAWs.


I might be able to make some further comments on that if you post a screenshot of the DNG image at 1:1 in Develop, with the Histogram, Basic panel and Detail panel visible. If you make sure that your mouse is off the image when you take the screenshot, exposure information, including ISO, will be visible below the histogram.


However, I just opened the raw picture from the DNG Converter in "RawTherapee", an open source raw file processing program. Interestingly, the output picture from RawTherapee comes out with no visual image quality loss! Please refer attached picture.


1. I can't open the raw file in Adobe Elements.

I believe the reason I can't open the raw file in elements has to do with the raw file format from my Sony cameras coupled with an old Elements version. This is the reason I got onto DNG.
