🧵 Yesterday I learned how much better the #headphone outputs by #RME are compared even to these in the #AllenHeath SQ5.

Also compared to the #MindPrint DI Port AD/DA converters I also own, the RME are much clearer. Not like having more high end, but being more precise in the high end (and over the entire frequency spectrum, I guess).

But since I needed to zap through sources quickly, I had to use the #AllenHeathSQ headphone jack… still I'd like to route that port digitally into something RME next time and to my headphones from there.

Unfortunately, even the old RME ADI-2 AD/DA have become rare, and the not so old models are ridiculously expensive on the used market.

I had fed the analog FM radio #broadcast system from the only RME converters I had available, while the livestream was fed 100% digital via an SDI audio inserter into #Blackmagic gear.

This is how it turned out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfwH93FNGF8
