Why This Is Here
The desktop DAC conversation ends here for most people. Built in Germany, measures as well as anything at any price, and the parametric EQ and loudness functions are working tools, not gimmicks. The headphone output is good enough that plenty of owners never buy a separate amp.
The honest cost is density — the screen, the menus, the manual thick as a paperback. RME builds for studio engineers and it shows. If you want set-and-forget, this is more than you need. If you want the one box that will still be current in ten years, it's this.
