For me it doesn't even work. It acts just like before, with that buggy version: it boots, but then it freezes.

The serial number doesn't matter. It's just that if you upgrade to the latest version, you'll (temporarily) loose roon support.

Here it is.

Just wanting to let everybody know that Magna has posted on their download site a new firmware that also works for the older units. No roon ready though.

There must be a hardware difference. Otherwise, I don't see why 1) they would get certification from roon based on serial numbers; and 2) the devices would act differently with each software versions. I've asked Jos @ Magna, but the reply was not very helpful. I guess we'll have to wait until...

Same thing happens with my unit. It's strange. Either there IS in fact a hardware difference or this behaviour is actually intended for some reason…

Nothing in terms of hardware, according to Wildism Audio. However, I've tried the new image on my RED and although it does boot up, it doesn't work. I wonder why.

My May does this from time to time. Just go around the inputs once, till you get back to the USB. It should reverse the channels. If not, restart the DAC.

What's the difference between having the RED receive the data stream through ethernet or through USB and then pass it to I2s? I really don't understand this POV.

Same here.

Same for me.

In streaming mode, yes.

RED actually can output to USB/I2S simultaneously.

As much as I can understand, the RED can be used in three scenarios: 1. Streaming to the USB; 2. Streaming to the I2S (by streaming to the virtual USB RED which automatically outputs the stream to the I2S so a DDC takes place); and lastly 3. Converting the USB input to the I2S. The first two...
