Us mere mortals can kind of fake the Pyramix approach.assuming reading and writing DSD is possible, that it is possible to convert DSD PCM, and that someone is willing to live with whatever listening losses are expected to go along with DSD PCM conversions. But for editing purposes Pyramix internally uses DXD, 352.8k/24 PCM, and converts that back and forth to DSD.
#IZOTOPE INSIGHT ON FOOBAR SOFTWARE#
The only workstation software attainable by mere, if somewhat well-heeled, mortals that even knows about DSD, Pyramix (though not the cheaper versions of Pyramix), can read and write DSD.

Actually editing DSD is essentially impossible if someone wishes to not leave the DSD realm during the course of the edits. It probably won't surprise anyone that working with DSD presents some problems.

The ADI-2 Pro allows the recording and playback of up to DSD256 ("quad" DSD). And, yes, that same graph shows ripples at the lower sampling rates.
#IZOTOPE INSIGHT ON FOOBAR MANUAL#
The 384k RMAA plot provides no way to see what is happening around 20 Hz, but a two-way AD/DA plot on page 79 of the manual indicates that for 384k sampling the response at 2 Hz (yes, that's two Hz), the response is down roughly 1/4 dB.

Oh, the SD Sharp filter has all ringing after an impulse. Also, higher sampling rates work to reduce the ripples. The "Sharp" filter keeps the ripples, but the "SD Slow" and "Slow" filters reduce them. I don't much like ripples, but the amplitude of the ripples is fairly slight. The SD Sharp filter has to be the cause of the slight ripples seen in the upper frequency response. Throughout all tests, I used the RME recommended "SD Sharp" (Short Delay Sharp) default filter, which RME states, "offers the widest and most linear frequency response and lowest latency". The Frequency Response window had a scroll bar below it, and I used the scroll bar to screen cap the frequency range then Photoshopped the range into a single graph. Though I've long had the type of RCA adapters RME recommends, for all the ADI-2 Pro tests I'm posting I used balanced XLR terminated cables. Oh, though the RME is capable of up to 768 kHz AD/DA, RMAA and I can only can get up to 384 kHz. Because of the SH Forum's budget of no more than five photographs per post, I am making use of three posts. That's some background, but this thread is about using RMAA to test DACs and ADCs. And there's a Sound On Sound review of the ADI-2 Pro here. If anyone is interested, the person who provided the two photographs also wrote this review. There's one small additional difference, which can be seen in this page of a 20 page Super Best Audio Friends forum posting primarily covering using the ADI-2 Pro as a DAC/headphone amp. It has black front and case, "hi-fi" style feet, no holes on the sides for mounting rack ears, it has gold plating on the XLR connectors, and there's additional shielding around the XLRs. Now I actually have the limited production "Anniversary Edition" of the ADI-2 Pro.

The manual (available: here), covers easy RCA adaption on page 86, and follows that with paragraphs detailing how to make best use of the four available reference levels so there should be no loss of signal quality when going the RCA route. (In my case, the USBPre 2 would be a workable mic interface.) The ADI-2 Pro is designed for both studio and home use according to RME, but there are no analog RCA ins and outs. If digital mic recording is needed, an appropriate mic preamp would be needed. There is no provision for mic in, and there is no microphone phantom power.

For analog, there are balanced XLR outputs, unbalanced 1/4 inch TS jacks for output, and combination balanced TRS jack/XLR, unbalanced TS jack inputs. The back has an input for the supplied external power adapter USB S/PDIF optical in and out via a supplied "breakout" adapter for the multipin connector, S/PDIF coax in and out, and two XLR AES/EBU jacks for input and output. But I stay open to equipment upgrades where they make sense to me.īesides the knobs and buttons on the front, there are two headphone jacks that, with the right adapter, can be used together for balanced headphones. I still have my Sound Devices USBPre 2 that was initially noted in post #47 of this thread. I've picked up a new external soundcard, an RME "ADI-2 Pro" AD/DA converter.
