The more I read on here the more skepticism I have that this is the right product for me.
I have a feeling that it might be up for sale before I even open it.

Did anyone compare the SQ between Red OS and other OS? Such as RoPieee XL, Picoreplayer, moode.
I did compare Red OS to RoPieee XL. Couldn't hear a difference. However, I chose to use the Red OS because it lets me DDC to I2S, which ATM seems better than plain USB although I have KTE Holo May.Did anyone compare the SQ between Red OS and other OS? Such as RoPieee XL, Picoreplayer, moode.

Still don't understand. OK, there is virtual usb output, but there is also actual “USB out” socket on the back panel of Red. It is not there just for decoration I guess. However, I have tried this usb output in streamer mode and it is not working (no sound when plugged this output to Spring 3 usb input). It is shame that there is still no online user manual. At least it would prevent confusion in understanding how basic functions work and how to set up Red properly.The Red USB is only used as a virtual output in order to convert the signal to the other outputs (AES, I2s).

According to your reports NAA with 1,5Mhz sample rate is working but reading the forum feedback Noone can get the usb output functioning?
What are they using? NAA? Roon?@GoldenOne can you chime in?

When using it as a streamer the other red outputs will show up as a different device to the USB connected device. They need to make sure to select the right one

Select the corresponding output device, save & reboot. It works.

I now know where I made a mistake. I saved it but didn't reboot. Thanks for advice.Select the corresponding output device, save & reboot. It works.

Does the Red have galvanic isolation on all the outputs? Currently using the SU-6, but heard some strange thing a long time ago about its i2s output being the only output that doesn't have isolation from noise coming from a PCs USB output. It's a dumb question I suspect but still nice to know.

No clue about the details of the DDC implementation but Red is a Streamer on top whereas the Singxer is a DDC onlyAny idea as to how this streamer. compares with the Singxer SU-6?

I’m so confused - lol
I had NAA working. Then I upgraded the OS and now NAA doesn’t work. Roon is still working, but its getting a bit frustrating.
I would love to know how to setup the RED (and potentially HQPlayer) so that I can get 1mhz+ PCM or 512DSD to the my Holo Spring 3
I have a Mac Mini running Linux as my HQPlayer and the Red is connected to the DAC via USB.

I find it really concerning this red box is being shilled - covering the true issues here.
This is a 2 in 1 product but it does not work seemlessly, between the two.

When you read a book you should be reading to understand the authors thought process, or else it wont give any sense to the story..
And the long story short is: Holo should have realeased 2 different products, with a thought process behind them.
(A streamer with USB AUDIO, maybe something like Auralic)
