Merging HAPI + ADS‑8 (AKD8D Rev15) MIC/LINE AD Converter DSD-256 Interface + box AES ADAT

Tested & working great ✅Screen seems a little dim but fully readable.  Includes power cable 🔌

Works on Mac & Windows platforms 💻🖥️

Headphone Output (Important Revision)

• Dedicated Headphone Converter — Hapi includes a separate internal stereo DA converter feeding the headphone output (independent from the ADS‑8 card).
• You can listen to music through the headphone output immediately, without any optional DA cards installed.

HAPI + ADS‑8 (Rev15)

• Card IOM‑H‑AKD8D / ADS85730 Run 15 is a Standard AD card with Direct Outs, part of the AD8D / AKD8D family.
• The ADS‑8 supports DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256. It is one of Merging’s full‑rate DSD A/D modules.

Breakdown

• ADS‑8 DSD Support
• • DSD64 ✔️
  • DSD128 ✔️
  • DSD256 ✔️ (full‑rate)
  • DXD ✔️
• The Hapi core handles the DSD/DXD transport and modulator domain.
• The ADS‑8’s analog stage and converter architecture are designed for high‑linearity DSD capture.
• Merging consolidated naming over the years, so ADS‑8 (Rev15) corresponds to the AD8D‑class Standard AD card.

Technical Specifications

• ADS‑8 AD Module — 8‑channel mastering‑grade MIC/LINE analog‑to‑digital conversion
• Standard Analog Stage — transformerless, ultra‑clean, neutral capture
• Direct Out Version — analog thru for patchbay routing or parallel processing
• Revision 15 Hardware — later‑run, stable, optimized analog tolerances
