RED Streamer and DDC

DESCRIPTION

HoloAudio “RED” is a Network Streamer with I2S HDMI output supporting up to DSD 1024, plus can be used as DDC (USB to I2S or SPDIF converter).

Employing a Pi Compute Module 4 the RED only uses the Pi4 as core system. It differs from a standard Raspberry Pi because it does not have all peripheral components on board, but has been developed by HoloAudio for optimized audio reproduction. The advantage is that it can be used with a lot of software and is therefore versatile.
