No way. The DSP's computing power is limited.
Has anyone used this with the Susvara? What would you recommend to complement it in case it's a bit short?
Is there a way to tell the difference between revisions?
I would guess the box might state it and all major retailers are almost certainly selling the "new" and the better ones probably should state on the listing /specs.Is there a way to tell the difference between revisions?

Agreed. Doesn't mention which DAC chip etc.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081CWQXGD/
This Amazon listing doesn't state whether it's new or not, unless I'm missing something.

Of little to no use to the Internet shopper then.The version of the RME ADI-2 FS DAC is not printed on the box. It is shown on the back serial number of the unit in the form of a sticker. If it has a "B" listed after the serial number it's the AK4493 chip and you have the larger remote, SD filter and the option for amber meter display lights. If it has a "C" after the serial number you have the ESS chip.
This option came with firmware update and exists on any ADI-2 DAC FS.and the option for amber meter display lights.
Yep.This option came with firmware update and exists on any ADI-2 DAC FS.
I bought one brand new yesterday from Amazon and got the AKM4493 version in the mail today. Serial number ends in B.The version of the RME ADI-2 FS DAC is not printed on the box. It is shown on the back serial number of the unit in the form of a sticker. If it has a "B" listed after the serial number it's the AK4493 chip and you have the larger remote and SD filter. If it has a "C" after the serial number you have the ESS chip.
Here is what the RME User's Guide page 4 discloses about versions:
"ADI-2 DACs with AK4493 and ES9028Q2M are neither sonically nor visually easily distinguishable. However, the ESS version is recognized by a small C at the end of the serial number sticker (B stood for AKM 4493). Furthermore, the units differ in the available filters. The unit with AKM has a filter called Short Delay Low Dispersion, while the one with ESS has a filter called Brick- wall (the other filters, SD Sharp, SD Slow, Sharp, Slow, NOS, are identical). Further Chip dependent differences are mentioned in this manual."
Yep.
My ADI-2 Pro fs and Pro R fs are set on amber since firmware allowed it.
Yes, all you have to do is install the driver from their site, install that, then download the firmware update, run it, then click start. Super easy.Sounds like I need to do the update, is it easy enough for a non-computer type person such as me?
