Yep, UPNP for Audirvana
Is Audirvana running on the same server as Roon/HQPlayer.
If yes, check to shutdown the other services before starting Audirvana as these could potentially conflict with each other.
For restarting UPNP you don't need to reboot but only check/uncheck the service checkBox?
I did that without success. I can look again to see if I missed something.

Hello, I want to ssh to Red stock software, but I can't find anywhere the credentials. Next, I want to to install Tiny Core, but the ethernet isn't available, and I must know what ethernet chip has, I suspect it's Realtek R8169 - but I want to be sure. Next, it's ok if I change the CM4 module with a new CM4 with wifi? And the last question for now is: why you don't use the onboard CM4 flash memory, or how can I use this memory instead the external microSD card? Thanks a lot.

I think you need to email Holo Audio to get the answers you seek.

Maybe this (below) will help with your Ethernet question.

It looks like the driver that's being used by my OS is bcmgenet (Broadcom Genet?).

Let me know if you do contact them and find out about the internal storage. I would much rather have the red OS image on the internal storage and be able to boot other OS images from the SD card.

Thanks guys. Btw, about the burn-in, my feelings is it’ll take long time. How it was the burn-in period in your case, and what was changed in sound after that? Personally I expect more refined and smooth sound, is it true?

I liked it out of the box, and I think it’s better now. May just be brain or purple fuse burn in.

It is just a (very) small computer, a clock and some basic converters.
Not sure there is anything to burn-in in a DDC/Streamer, even a good one like Holo Red.
I may be wrong though.

I observe I can’t choose spdif or optical output, only usb and i2s. Should I check some settings, or what else?
I do not have the device myself, so my answer might be plain wrong.

This being said, I’ll try :

Spdif/Optical have a lower frequency threshold (96 or 192). Is it possible that your are trying to send a signal with a higher rate and that the Red does not allow that ?
(Or your input device)

Sorry if this did not help…

There are two aspects: first, spdif doesn’t appear as output device, and second - to answer to your question: I use 44 KHz files for test
