After adding Holo Red to my system I am now getting a 3 sec delay in the song start when the DAC is acquiring PLL for a change in sample rate. My Holo Red is using UPNP with Audirvana on Mac mini via ethernet. Holo Red is connected to Holo May KTE via I2S. All info suggests adding a pause prior to t…

Thank you. That is what I am looking for. However, that option does not appear on my Audirvana options under device settings. I am not using the Holo Red as a bridge device. It is set up with UPNP. This screen does not show with UPNP. Do you have a Holo Red and how do you have it set up? Are you usi…

When Holo red is connected to my mac mini using ethernet it becomes a network device. Audirvana sees it as the end point. When you look at the output device in Audirvana it lists Holo Red via UPNP. It does not see my Holo May DAC. When you connect Red via USB it becomes a bridge device. It is simply…

Have you tried connecting the Holo May via USB to Holo Red? :musical_notes: :eye: :nose: :eye: :musical_notes:

I suggest that the both the Holo Red and Holo May have the current OS installed and to re-read the User Guide(s) so to insure the paring is properly configured to support the UPnP streaming connection. I²S is a direct synchronous signal path to the DAC component architecture clock and is not asynch…

I switched the I2S cable over to USB. Everything connected correctly, the song started playing without delay, after about 10 seconds the sound suddenly went to White Noise. So there is some kind of communication problem using ethernet on the front and USB on the back. Audirvana and Holo Red are up …

My recommendation would be to not employ the PLL option… I highly doubt that you would be able to discern any tangibly audible difference in a blind comparison… Most likely this is best used with a CD/SACD player or other devices… but is superfluous in the context of Holo Red. The same holds true f…

[image] rjuhala: What do you think about the clock difference? Unless the clock in the May is terrible, with USB input using it will give you better results than using PLL. Why? Because when you’re talking about femtosecond clocks, the communication time involved with a PLL will introduce s…

I would guess that if you have any signal processing or plugins you might see some buffer processing lag by a few seconds… Or you may have too large of a buffer space set aside which would also take a few seconds to get started… Especially if you are going Upnp…
