Holo Audio RED Streamer and DDC
HoloAudio RED Network Streamer & DDC
Official Australian HoloAudio Dealer
Supplied by Audiophile Shop Australia — an officially authorised Australian HoloAudio dealer, with genuine local stock, local support, and a full 3-year warranty.
✔ Premium network streamer and DDC in one
✔ I2S HDMI output supporting up to DSD1024
✔ Built for Roon, HQPlayer, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect & more
✔ Internal linear power supply integration
The HoloAudio RED is a highly versatile network streamer and digital-to-digital converter designed for audiophiles who demand exceptional digital signal quality without unnecessary complexity.
Built around HoloAudio’s heavily optimised Pi Compute Module 4 platform, the RED takes the flexibility of modern streaming ecosystems and combines it with a purpose-built low-noise audio-focused hardware implementation, creating one of the strongest digital front-end solutions in its class.
Why the RED Stands Out
- Milled from a solid aluminium chassis for excellent shielding and thermal stability
- Optimised Pi Compute Module 4 implementation for improved audio performance
- Integrated internal power supply for cleaner signal delivery and convenience
- Rock-solid ethernet network stability
- Extremely flexible streaming and endpoint compatibility
- Can also function as a high-performance USB to I2S / SPDIF DDC
Multiple Ways to Use the RED
Network Streamer Supports popular platforms including Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect for simple high-quality music streaming directly from your favourite apps.
Roon & HQPlayer Endpoint Fully compatible as a Roon Endpoint and HQPlayer NAA, making it ideal for serious high-end digital systems.
UPnP / AirPlay 2 / Squeezelite Offers broad compatibility for flexible playback across multiple software ecosystems.
High Performance DDC Use the RED as a dedicated digital converter, taking USB input and outputting via I2S, AES/EBU, BNC, RCA, or Optical for optimised DAC connectivity.
Sound Performance
The RED is designed to minimise digital noise, reduce jitter, and preserve signal integrity before it reaches your DAC. Compared to generic streamers or direct USB connections from a noisy computer, the RED often delivers noticeable improvements in black background performance, timing precision, imaging stability, and overall refinement.
When paired with high-end DACs — particularly HoloAudio DACs such as the Cyan 2, Spring 3, or May — the RED forms an exceptionally strong digital front-end capable of unlocking significantly greater performance.
Key Features
- I2S HDMI output up to DSD1024
- USB, Optical, AES, BNC, RCA digital connectivity
- Supports PCM up to 768kHz and DSD512+ depending on output mode
- Internal PSU design
- Browser-based control via red.local
- Solid billet aluminium chassis
- 3-year manufacturer warranty
Who Is It For?
- Audiophiles wanting a high-quality dedicated streamer
- Users wanting to improve USB signal quality into their DAC
- Roon and HQPlayer users
