Did you try the Aux power input on the intona?
Maybe the RED isn’t supplying enough juice to the Intona + DAC?
Good idea but as far as I know, the Aux power on the intona feeds the isolated/output side of the Intona, and is separate from input side. The Intona can connect to an input without having an output/dac connected to it. And that has it's own handshake protocol that one can observe via the green LED. Similarly on the output side. Point being that the RED cannot lock onto the Intona properly with or without a DAC on the other side.
One thought I had is that the RED USB output is 3.0 compatible and with the Intona being 3.0 compatible they are trying to make a 3.0 connection with a 2.0 cable. For giggles, I am going to get a $7 3.0 USB cable with the taller 3.0 Type B connector and see if that enables connection. Doubt it, but you never know.
[edit - Intona 3.0 of course connects fine to a USB 3.0 output on a pc with a 2.0 cable so that's not likely the issue]
Alternatively, it would be interesting to know if anyone can get a 2.0 Intona to work with the RED.
