It works fine with USB from my PC, but USB out from the Red into May isn't working, which is why I needed to access the web interface to configure. That's why I'm not sure what's up. USB in and I2S out works fine, but not ethernet or USB out.

FYI. I had too old software in my linksys router (from 2014) and the DHCP did not give ip to Red before I upgraded the router firmware. Though Windows and Apple clients were working ok before upgrade. Only Red was affected.

There are PC tools to build new bootable sd card but otherwise works out of the box if you aren’t rebuilding a new OS boot card.

Since this streamer works out of the box with multiple options within the software (setup) menu -- what is the reason someone would want to rebuild a new OS boot card at the get-go ?

I don't quite follow why someone would rebuild an OS Card that works right out of the box ?

I ran my Red in NAA mode only.
Holo is a bit slow to upgrade the NAA.
Jussi provides a dedicated NAA for PI devices.
With Jussi's NAA, the Red only operates as NAA.
I thought that it performed best this way as NAA and I could have the latest NAA OS without waiting for Holo to update.

May the source be with you!

Hi Guys,
Need a bit of help with using Holo Red as a DDC. I have been using it as a HQPlayer NAA and I was able to get all its outputs (HDMI, USB and RCA digital coax working). I now want to use it as a DDC.
I am connecting my iPhone via USB input (USB A via iPhone camera adapter to USB B holo red input). Then connecting the RCA coax Holo red output to the RCA digital coax input. But there is no sound. On my iPhone (in the Qobuz app), I can see that the phone is able to recognize the Holo Red but nothing after that. Do I need to do something additional for it to work as DDC? My DAC only has a RCA coax input.

In case anyone has this brain freeze, the iPhone needs to be unmuted and at full volume for this to work.

New Red OS?

Yes, coming. Said a big step forward in sound quality.

 

[George Hincapie]

I have not heard Red. Any idea how it may compare in terms of SQ with other streamers I am considering, such as Lumin U2 or Rose RS130?

 

[David222]

Yes, coming. Said a big step forward in sound quality.

What do you mean "yes, coming" -

Do the new units ship with the updated OS, or is the update coming soon ? Was not clear by your post and the other post immediately preceding you #1416

Edit --> appears from the website the update is indeed coming soon (not yet out). Stating the obvious for those that already are aware.

From what website? Wildism Audio?

HQP NAA was just updated the other day, but the Holo Red image has not yet been updated to the current version, when last I checked. Perhaps they are waiting on that. Holo is generally slow about keeping up with the HQP updates.

I`m on GentooPlayer with Diretta Targett Protokoll on the RED. To my ears it is a big improvement!.
I have it already for some months - it sounds great.
I think I will try the new OS on a different card to see, if it matches my current system...
My Intell Nuc with HQ-Player is the diretta host and the red is the diretta target. I have a Intell Nuc with i9 – the nuc is able to do 512DSD

The Red is feeding the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE
With this combination, It is the first time, that I hear a substantial soundstage (with Susvara)

Can the RED's outputs have multiple cables plugged in at the same time? Any issue having AES and I2S (out) plugged in simultaneously ?

I've owned other streamers before where the outputs were NOT isolated and the manufacterur recommended only using one at a time.

Has anyone confirmed this with Holo ?

..yes it can. I have hat the USB and I2S pluged in and both are working when I switch the dac to the source (I2S/USB)
