Last I heard from Theo Stack in email is Link II is out of production due to parts sourcing. That was in Dec.

I also received an email from him to that effect.

Anyone is waiting on their red to be delivered from Kitsune? I had one on order exactly one month ago and its been radio silent so far.

Guess we are heading towards 6+ weeks lead time.

I did see something on their website saying 6 weeks.

Ordered exactly 1 month ago, too.
The website said 4-6 weeks at the time of ordering, so let's check back in 2 weeks.

I have ordered one from Wildism 18 Jan, and have been told that only when next batch arrives I will be notified. So far, no news.

i try different usb dcc like singxer su6-su2
as well as gustard u18 and lots of other sotm usb
but this holo red beats them by several lengths
silky-smooth sound and 3D visibility
you can designate different instruments in location
Special midrange is good

Have just got message from Wildism, they have burned my RED for 200 hours. Tomorrow it will be shipped. Probably Kitsune will have them as well.

What are all of the ways I can play offline, locally stored music files with Red, used as a "streamer", not DDC?

Where can I see explanations for how to do this, using a PC, or Red's native software/player? If Red even has such a native player. Is there a video tutorial covering the operation?

"Streamers" are new and strange to me. My music collection is offline, and I don't use or want to use online streaming services, only an offline network player to play to my DAC.

1. Install Roon and make Roon Core on your PC.
2. Download Roon app on phone for remote control. Make sure ur wifi is on.
3. Have Roon find files and add to library
4. Connect Red to your ethernet line and to your DAC.
5. Find Red on your network Red local, and update its software . Make sure Roon options are checked.
6. Use Roon help guide to find ur Dac. Enable and set device volume.
7. Enjoy.
8. Why limit yourself to offline WHEN qobuz integrates with Roon seamlessly to stream it all.

I don't use, or care to use streaming or streaming services. I just want to play the files I have on my hard drive, off of the Red. Seems there isn't a simple way :/

Do I need a different kind of device/player to do this in a simpler way, where I can just load files onto an internal drive and hit play..? Mercury Streamer?

You can simply use a UPnP music player app to make it. Mconnect for example.

1. Enable upnp in Red
2. Download the music player app in your mobile phone

That is

Roon is as pretty simple as it gets.

Thanks. The DDC output should be phenomenal, anyway, if I can't get a setup I like working in stream mode. Super excited to hear this thing... Seems like a no-brainer device, if ever there was one(unless you're getting a Holo May/SKTE, with the integrated DDC).

I first setup the Red as a DDC with a USB cable from my PC to the Red.
Then i2S to the Holo Dac.

Then just disconnected the USB cable from PC and rebooted the Red. Type B (Red end)
Then it was in Streamer Mode and still outputted to my Dac with i2S.
I had the network cable plugged in the whole time.
Then I could connect a external usb Drive (Samsung t7 I had here) to the USB port (Type A I think) and it was seen in MoOde.
Could then select it and browse the files and play them.

So only ever used i2S output from the Red.
