CAS is simply an alternative name for RAS, regardless of whether an ADC is used or not. Use of RAS or CAS is predicated on which side of the Atlantic you learnt to fly.
RAS/CAS is IAS with correction for pressure error, which is then corrected again for compressibility to give EAS and non standard air density to give TAS.
