Important notes for those who just received their Red:

note: RedOS is preloaded on the include TF card included!!! do not lose this! The TF card will have RedOS pre configured and can be updated when connected to Ethernet and updates can be downloaded directly to TF card. DO NOT remove or insert TF card when unit is powered on, damage could occur to the card. Be sure unit is always powered off/unplugged when inserting or ejecting card.  We do not ship the Red with the TF card pre installed because they can possibly eject during shipping. The Red manual has instructions on how to create a new TF card incase you damage or lose the one included.

DSD Native Support notice: Red can support up to DSD512 and PCM768K by I2S. USB is limited by linux kernel and also support DSD512 and PCM768K right now we are working on a new kernel that should support DSD1024 and PCM1536K in future release. It actually does work very well on most setups now, it’s just being improved in future releases. Works well with RedOS, and also RopieeeXL.
