RME-ADI-2 owners, do you use all the features?

Yesterday I took delivery of a RME-ADI-2 FS to upgrade from my Schiit Modius.

I knew going into it that the DAC offered up a lot of goodies but never imagined just how confusing this thing can be!  The menu system is very "german" might be the same guy who designed BMW's interface...........

What features do you use?  Or do you use any at all and just use it as a straightforward DAC?

Still playing with the filter options, not hearing a ton of difference but just started.  Might use the equalizer once I finally figure out how to use REW.

Just wondering if there are some must-use options and what your favorites are for this unit.

I love this DAC! I use the balanced outputs and replaced the PS with a Teddy Pardo. These made definite sonic improvements for me. I use the slow filter which yields a warmer sound. I have attempted the DSP and Tone and found just to leave it alone because I don't need room correction.  The RME support is very good so I would reach out to them with any questions you might have. For me I'm running this off my MacBook Pro Audrivana into my Octave V70 Class A with stunning results so I am happy. Enjoy!
