7. Firmware Update
The ADI-2 DAC might receive improved features or bug fixes by a firmware update. This update
will be available from the RME website, section Downloads, USB. Download the tool that
matches your operating system (Mac or Windows), then unpack the zipped archive.
The Flash Update Tool updates the firmware of the ADI-2 DAC to the latest version. Under
Windows it requires an already installed MADIface series driver, which is found on the same
download page.
Start the Flash Update Tool. It displays
the current revision of the ADI-2 DAC
firmware, and whether it needs an
update or not. If so, then simply press
the 'Update' button. A progress bar will
indicate when the flash process is
finished (Verify Ok).
After the update the ADI-2 DAC needs
to be reset. Push the standby button to
switch it off for 5 seconds.
When the update unexpectedly fails
(status: failure), the unit's Safety BIOS
will be used from the next boot on, the
unit stays fully functional. The flash
process should then be tried again.
The flash process does not affect user
data like sample rate choices, EQ
settings or Setups.
Returning to Factory State
In case a total reset is desired: hold encoder 1 and the VOL button pushed while turning on the
unit. This will reset all current settings to factory default. User-stored Setups and EQ presets are
not affected. The same action is performed by loading Factory via Setup Select. Note that the
reset will be incomplete when the unit is connected to USB while performing the reset.
When holding encoder 1, 2 and the VOL button pushed while turning on the unit, user-stored
Setups and EQ presets are still not affected, but their names are reset as well.
