His issue has nothing to do with the Red. Personally, I've had zero issues - I find it quite easy to use.
Probably the loud minority that have put a lot of their issues on this thread and/or unrelated issues. That said, it doesn’t instill a lot of confidence because there isn’t a lot of user feedback or reviews of the device on the internet/youtube with the exception of this thread.

Mine runs since many months with zero issues - why write about it here then? Guess this might be true for many other happy users…. :wink:

The loud minority seem to have self inflicted issues, it's not the Red. Not liking or not understanding the capabilities doesn't necessarily mean its a product issue (IMO) . . .

Mine runs, and runs, and runs… no issues so far.
What do I wrong?
:deadhorse:

Sorry guys, my apologies. I didn’t mean to derail the thread. I’m just contemplating the device for myself. Carry on.

My Red has been FLAWLESS, with HQP/NAA and with Roon direct. I’d highly recommend the Red if you’re after a highly optimized Pi based streamer.

To use the I2S output do I need to adjust any of the pins underneath the unit or should it work with those at default?
Thanks.

Can this upsample to DSD 512 with HQ Player? I wouldnt think its internal processor is powerful enough for that, though i read somewhere about it playing hqplayer dsd512.

Edit. I see it is just connected via ethernet to the HQplayer machine.

I got my red yesterday, tried to connect the node x to it as a ddc did the turn off and on with usb in and I couldn’t get a signal out of the spdif coaxial. Tried it as a streamer with tidal connect and wow it sounds amazing, I still want to use it as a ddc because I use the node x with hdmi for watching anime. Did anyone else face any issues with using the unit as a ddc?

Hi all,
I just jumped in this thread a sec ago so maybe I say something covered already, anyways here it goes:

Updated to latest version 2024.04.21

Initially to shift from DDC to streamer one had to connect/disconnect the usb input lead in combination with a off/on restart.

I noticed the restart is not necessary, just connect usb-in lead and it becomes DDC. Just pull the usb-in lead out and it immediately becomes streamer. No switching of the on/off switch, let in ON. The transfer from ddc-streamer happens on the fly as you use the usb-in socket, or not.

Sorry if that is known already 😁
