£721 is a fair-to-slightly-strong ask for this market: it sits above the £668 median and below the £772 75th percentile, so it’s not cheap, but it’s still inside the normal used range. With a 25th–75th percentile band of £610–£772, this is close enough to the middle that I’d read it as a reasonable buy rather than an overreach.
That makes sense for an RME: the ADI-2 FS has a strong reputation for clean conversion, flexible DSP, excellent headphone output, and the kind of utility that keeps demand steady on the used market. If the unit is genuinely tidy and comes complete with the usual accessories, the asking price is fine for a buyer who wants one of the most capable all-rounder DAC/headamp boxes in this bracket.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
RME Audio emerged from Germany in 1996, founded by Matthias Carstens, a hardware specialist, and Ralf Männel, the company's primary DSP designer. Born as a spin-off from articles in the German electronics magazine ELRAD, the Haimhausen-based firm quickly distinguished itself with innovative digital audio solutions aimed at professionals. From its early PCI cards like the groundbreaking Digi96, which excelled at shuttling ADAT digital audio in and out of computers, RME built a legacy of engineering prowess rooted in a small, dedicated team prioritizing quality over quantity.
The brand focuses squarely on professional digital audio gear, excelling in soundcards, recording interfaces, AD/DA converters, microphone preamps, and network audio solutions. All products revolve around proprietary core technologies that deliver low-latency performance, exceptional stability, and user-friendly operation, freeing songwriters, composers, and engineers to create without technical distractions. RME eschews consumer categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, targeting instead the rigors of studio and live environments.
RME commands a premium niche in the pro audio market, revered as a pioneer for its rock-solid reliability and award-winning innovations that have sustained global acclaim for decades. Far from mid-tier or vintage appeal, it occupies high-end territory, where discerning buyers prize German-engineered precision and value-driven excellence over flashy marketing.
