Allo DigiOne

Product Information

A whopping ten minutes was required by yours truly in removing the protective film from each case piece. Allo claims there is no need (and they are probably right, considering the DC regulators and galvanic isolation) but I think this is anyway a Nice to have feature. It sounded better and more pleasant than the Breeze, but it was all almost at the same level of better. I've looked at the Pi a few times but I'm not sure how well it'll handle streaming services such as deezer etc.

The latest iteration of the DigiOne product line, the DigiOne Signature, does this in a number of ways. It will connect directly to the GPIO of your Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 / 4 to improve the performance of your system, lowering the jitter to a minimum.Isolate each stage of the signal path: there is a galvanic isolator separating the Raspberry PI from the clocks, and the clocks themselves are isolated from the WM8805 (which is the S/PDIF transmitter).

Much like what a traditional CD player does when you use the digital audio output signal to your Home Theatre AVR or integrated amplifier. So, my first step was trying to understand why Allo released an S/PDIF transport that costs about 3 times than similar gear: I know them too better to think they are overpricing, or adding useless components to their boards, so I was curious to see the rationale behind their choice. It sounds smoother, richer, more easeful and offers a slightly taller and deeper soundstage than its less costly UK rival. In our quest for digital perfection, we asked how we can improve the design and give you the ultimate DigiOne.This mini computer is equipped with capabilities perfectly suited for audiophile use with its Quad Core 1. I have been using a DigiOne (not Signature level) with my Naim UnitiQute for almost a year, to provide Roon endpoint support. if I’m honest, I think I would have needed an A/B test to tell the two Dragonflies apart - at least when listening through the speakers. Wrapping Allo’s dynamic duo is a custom clear acrylic case (black also available) whose form factor will be familiar to Raspberry Pi enthusiasts.
