RME ADI-8DS MkIII AD/DA Converter 8-Channel

Product Overview Scan Pro Audio Recommended : This is AWESOME!!!! We've tested almost every audio interface and converter on the market, but this is by far the lowest latency converter we've ever tested. Waveform transparancy tests put this in the top 0.5% of converters, but no other converter we've seen has this low latency and audio transparency together.
Team this up with the RME HSDPe AES PCIe card and you've got the ultimate audio interface, in fact that combination is what we benchmark every other interface against.

Housed in a 1U 19" chassis, the ADI-8 DS MkIII offers eight channels of AD and DA conversion with a latency of less than 12 samples, with the great features and build quality found throughout the range.

The ADI-8 represents the most high-end converters available from German manufacturer RME. It provides analogue I/O over 1/4" TRS and DB25, as well as conversion to ADAT and AES/EBU.

The latest update to the ADI-8 line, the DS mkIII, increases the available sample rate to 192KHz, providing eight channels over AES/EBU and up to four over ADAT. This welcome upgrade cements the ADI-8 as one of RME's top-of-the-line converters and an extremely well respected industry standard. Features AD and DA Converter
