The engineers at RME, for some reason, have created the most well thought out product. They have added all the features and functionality that I could imagine to have in a DAC, and then they have added things I never knew existed or were possible. I don´t even know, what motivated them to make this product, because they could have sold it very well, even with 1/4th of the features.
