RME ADI-8 QS 8-Channel 24 Bit/192 kHz Remote Controllable AD/DA Converter. The ADI-8 QS from RME is their top-of-the-line, eight-channel analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter that balances excellent analog circuit design with the latest in converter technology. The combination provides conversion of the highest order along with a healthy supply of features.The unit is outfitted with both balanced 1/4" phone input/output connectors, along with 25-pin D-sub connectors, the latter providing slightly higher maximum output levels. Conversion is available to/from AES/EBU and ADAT optical at sample rates up to 192kHz for the AES/EBU streams and 96kHz for ADAT.Efficient jitter reduction via SteadyClock guarantees pristine sound quality while Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) will retain the last valid sample frequency in case of a loss of the input signal. SyncCheck ensures perfect synchronization and excellent detection of errors, allowing multiple units to be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using a word clock. All settings are stored when the unit is switched off.Eight-channel analog to digital converter with a completely symmetrical and DC-coupled audio pathEight-channel digital to analog converter, DC-coupled audio path and double balanced outputLow latency conversion with only nine samples of delay (in double speed mode)Four stereo AES/EBU channels of input/output (sixteen total) via a D-sub connector, with eight channels, total @ 192kHzADAT 24-bit optical inputs, with RME's Bitclock PLL for sample accurate lock.
