Key Features

• Ultra‑High‑Resolution Conversion – Supports PCM up to 768 kHz and native DSD (Direct DSD playback).
• Dual Extreme Power Headphone Amplifiers – Each channel features ultra‑low output impedance (as low as 0.1 Ω in standard mode; 0.2 Ω in Balanced mode) and delivers +22 dBu (≈1.5 W into 32 Ω) or up to +28 dBu in Advanced Balanced mode.
• Advanced Balanced Headphone Mode – Unique RME architecture: signal path from DAC to headphones remains fully balanced, providing ~3 dB better S/N ratio and optimized response for high‑performance monitoring.
• Versatile I/O Setup – Two servo‑balanced analog inputs (combo XLR/TRS), two balanced/unbalanced analog outputs (XLR + TS), optical S/PDIF I/O (also ADAT compatible), coaxial S/PDIF and AES I/O via breakout cable. USB 2.0 UAC2 Class‑Compliant for Windows, macOS, iOS.
• SteadyClock III & Ultra‑Low Jitter – RME’s proprietary clocking system ensures stable sample conversion with minimal jitter, even in complex digital setups.
• DSP Processing & Monitoring Tools – Built‑in DSP offers parametric 5‑band EQ, Bass/Treble, Loudness, Crossfeed for headphone listening, 30‑band analyzer and extensive metering via the full‑colour display.
• Portable/Suitable for Mobile Use – External switch‑mode power supply with worldwide voltage support; compact half‑rack footprint; battery‑powered operation supported for galvanic isolation applications.
• Studio‑Grade Performance – Extremely low THD (below –100 dB or 0.001%) in headphone outputs, ultra‑low noise floor (~120 dB SNR) and high dynamic range—that’s reference quality.
