The Digiface USB is an extremely compact & portable digital audio interface with 4 optical ADAT / SPDIF I/Os, and an analog high-quality line/phones output via 6.3 mm TRS jack. Continuing the legacy of RME‘s famous HDSP Digiface, a triple ADAT I/O interface with phones and PCI interface, Digiface USB simplifies connection with USB 2, does not need an external power supply, and even adds another optical I/O, resulting in 32 channels input and output each when using ADAT optical.
The analog output hosts channels 33/34, and can be used freely thanks to TotalMix FX, RME‘s routing and monitoring solution that knows nearly no limits in routing and mixing (the Digiface USB does not include FX).
Each single optical port can use either ADAT (up to 8 channels) or SPDIF (stereo). While the inputs adapt automatically to the received signal format, the outputs can be individually switched between ADAT and SPDIF operation. Supported are SMUX and SMUX4. Therefore at 192 kHz either 8 channels via 4 x SPDIF or ADAT are possible on both inputs and outputs.
Its small size, weight and bus-powered operation make the Digiface USB extremely versatile and useful. It could even serve as simple headphone amp for mobile use.

Review by David T. on 7 Apr 2025review stating Great choice
I was tired of lifting heavy speakers out of my house, then into my car, then out of my car, into the venue and up onto stands and then having to run leads to everything, all before a performance. My son recommended the JBL eon mk2, as he had hired the same for his gigging. I can be set up in less than 10 minutes and pull down in the same time.

Loving the SSL E Dyn. Apparently this was on every channel during sessions with the console. I can see why. Great way to get a clean punchy signal into your DAW. Love the extender circuit as well, it does a great job of keeping any unwanted background noise out of your recording.
