Important notes for those who just received their Red:

Note: Red requires a small amount of general computer knowledge to setup and understand your local router and ethernet settings. It’s like most any PI4 streamer and if you have set one of these up before this one will be easy too. There will be limited support for the device only, not your personal computer or networking setup.

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.

I have had this unit for a couple of years. It works great. A real workhorse. What is truly wonderful is the customer service. I got an email back from Tim very shortly after posting my repair request. It was fixed under warranty just two days after receipt and all I paid was for shipping the unit to them. I am delighted with the company and will be buying my next DAC from them. Thank you guys!

I have had this product for a couple of years now. It is excellent. No need to add to that. What is exceptional is the customer service this company provides. I had a problem with my unit not holding the SD card in. Not only was it fixed under warranty, they did it within 2 days of recieveing the unit. Tim wrote me back within a couple of hours ove me posing my question about the unit. I was only out of pocket the cost of mailing the unit out. Could not be happier. I have a denafrips DAC. I bought it before I knew about Kitsune. I know my replacement witll come from these guys.

Excellent Product A++

Amazing streamer!
