Very little to compare with these 2 units, I am here to attempt to justify the Adi-2 purchase over the Pro+. I can afford the step up to the ADI-2 but I wonder if I will get the most out of it. Carefully comparing the 2 without any eq enhancements they are exactly the same to my ear and produce very similar power. Enough power to run my Hifiman XS and anything else that I would ever own.
ADI-2 now on sale for $999 and the Pro+ sale price is $179.
The main reason that I would go for the ADI-2 is the build, internal eq, bass/treble, loudness function, and the addition of balanced out. Upon reading the manual there are quite a plethora of extras thrown in if you can utilize all of its functions. I am still trying to figure out how to program all of those features. The ADI-2 also boasts protections towards the expensive headphones that I plug into them.
The ADI-2 only appears to come with a 6 month warranty and I haven't seen the details on the length of the Topping. Also I wonder how much I gain with the on board Eq as opposed to Apo Peace software. I mainly plan to have these hooked up to a pc running Amazon music. I do like the loudness feature, especially on low volumes in conjunction with bass and treble adjustments on the fly, just trying to figure out if that provides enough of a difference. Oh and the look of the ADI-2 does in fact add a little more to the equation. Let me know if there are other things to consider in this choice. Thanks!
