RME ADI-2 DAC or Pro with Roon?

[dabassgoesboomboom]

This sure looks like an interesting DAC. Does anyone have any experiece with playing DSD from Roon to this DAC? Especially with headphones, when I read the manual it seems like it’s not possible and DSD will be converted to PCM?

Yup, only PCM is possible via the headphone outputs.

So for DSD, you’ll need to use the DAC’s rear RCA/XLR outputs and connect to a separate headphone amp.

I have the THX 789 headphone amp and am thinking of getting the RME ADI-2 for DAC (incl. DSD) duties.

Currently connected to my THX 789 amp is a Pro-Ject S2 DAC and MrSpeakers Aeon Closed headphones.
