Allo DigiOne Player

more_vert
Is there any interest in the Allo DigiOne Player? It's the ready built version of a well reviewed Raspberry Pi based S/PDIF out network audio player (Pi 3 B+, DigiOne board, case, preloaded SD card, power supply all included and assembled). Add it to your network and hook it up to an S/PDIF capable DAC (coaxial RCA or BNC only, no Toslink), and it will function as a uPnP/DLNA audio renderer (can stream Tidal to it, for instance). I had been thinking about building a Pi/HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro, and at least with the parts I was looking at, it wouldn't be much more to buy the Allo built and ready to run (and the reviews I've seen rate the Allo better).

I second aurthurKRM's thoughts. I have the digione and its really impressive. w/my topping e30 dac there is a noticeable improvement throughout the whole frequency range, furthermore a spacious 3d quality now. I've finally bought in to how power and its proper implementation/management can make or break a system.

The Allo is limited by its os, especially for Roon. I’d love to see a nicer Pi based thing with a clean hat, running Ropiee, which is flawless and turnkey. I’ve built a few myself — but I am sure a good industrial unit can package the whole thing in an attractive case. A perfect opportunity for Drop.

I bought the standard version and it works great. Given the rest of my system (Modi MB, Vali 2, Yamaha AVR, Pioneer/Andrew Jones speakers) I didn't think the extra expense of the Signature version was justified.

I agree with Hans on the preference for an enhanced version of the Digi One Signature with a better solution for the linear power supply than the battery pack from Alo; however, not so expensive that the power supply defeats the purpose of an inexpensive, but high quality network audio streamer.

There is an Allo DigiOne Signature, which seems to be a better option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkukJLIolw
