I’m enjoying Allo Boss (v 1.0) for more than one year, and a few weeks ago I powered it with an iFi Power.
I was wondering if it would make sense to move to the new version 1.2, not having intention to use at the time other better power supplies (linear), nor switch to more complex solutions like Katana (or Kali, isolator, reclocker).
Some things you might need to know:
mostly rock listening
the quality of my music library is for the most part 16/44 flac (no DSD)
I like a lot RadioParadise (thanks marco79cgn)
loudspeakers: Indiana Line Tesi 261
amplifier: Audiophonics PA-S125NC
Should I stay or should I go ?!?
A thousand thanks again to the Volumio community and to Allo.
Thank you very much for the answers, you have convinced me not to make the transition.
I do not doubt that Katana 1.2 is a major step forward, but honestly its complexity and the need for three power supplies (to make the most of it) frighten me a little.
Which PSU’s are you using for your tests? I too am also using the original BOSS and am thinking about upgrading but I’m waiting to see what the final cost will be for a complete Katana set-up with all of the right pieces (DAC, Case, RPi, PSU’s, possibly new isolator). I’m thinking right now it will be close to $500-$600 since I’m using Canadian dollars.
