£750 is a bit above the £680 median but still inside the upper half of the recent market, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-ambitious rather than overpriced; it is only £37 under the £788 75th percentile and well above the £621 25th percentile, so I’d treat it as a normal asking price if the condition is genuinely clean.
The ADI-2 FS is well-regarded because it’s a compact, high-end 2-channel DAC/AD-DA converter with strong digital compatibility and up to 192 kHz support, which makes it a very practical audiophile/desktop piece. If this unit is well cared for and complete, the main upside is getting RME’s reputation for solid engineering and flexibility without paying new-money prices; at this level, I’d mainly want confidence on condition and included accessories rather than hunting for hidden faults.
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.
