Allo DigiOne

Product Information

After some time, I realized that the DigiOne Signature Player came with the latest Raspberry Pi 3B+. Allo themselves quote that the DigiOne, in fact, is “a master codec with digital/electrical/ground isolation from RPI AND wm8805 and a reclocker”. Many different digital cables were used too, again ranging from a few bucks to few hundred bucks (on both USB and SPDIF side of things) so there is no cable-infused bias either.

Because it proved very difficult to do quick switching comparisons between two separate coax sources, when you use the same DAC with only one coax input, I had to rely on a secondary source playing perfectly in sync, feeding my headphone amplifier, so that I can just flick between two inputs with one taking input from the DigiOne DAC and the other input from a stable “reference” DAC. At this point you take out your mobile phone and use an app like Squeezer or Orange Squeeze on Android to select music on the LMS server to play to the simulated Squeezebox (via PiCorePlayer) on the DigiOne Signature Player. In our quest for digital perfection, we asked how we can improve the design and give you the ultimate DigiOne.I have also used Volumio in the past, which works like a Squeezebox, supports DLNA/UPnP, and has a rich web-based user interface.

To honor these points, a daily technological watch is carried out by our team composed of passionate and specialized people. They are completely different designs, but I would expect the better R1 DAC to be more resolving or indicative of the differences.There’s still a lot of misinformation floating around, some of it is old wives’ tales (never true) and some of it was once true but is now obsolete.

Another big reason for using a Raspberry Pi is that it is MUCH cheaper than any full-sized computer.In my tests, the USB output of the Raspberry (and of the Raspberry only; on a x86 PC it sounds good) sounds bad. Devices and software solutions compatible with Raspberry Pi are no exception to the rule and you will be able to easily change the software installed on your network drive if you wish to experiment with other solutions and functions. The latest iteration of the DigiOne product line, the DigiOne Signature, does this in a number of ways.

It extends the capabilities of the Raspberry pi card and allows it to output the digital audio stream via a BNC output and an RCA output.This version of the Allo DigiOne Player is based on an SBC (Single Board Computer) Raspberry Pi 4 B. Recapping, if the JustBoom HAT’s coaxial is the equal of the AURALiC Aries then the Allo DigiOne surpasses it; a polished ease making more agreeable work of listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Teenage Lust” or Throwing Muses “Bright Yellow Gun”, just as Wyred4Sound’s souped-up Sonos Connect does. I’d always wanted to “do something” with a Raspberry Pi (being reasonably IT literate) but never got round to it. It knows what’s in your music files, what your DAC is, what DSP you’ve asked for (if any) – and remember that Roon volume control is DSP – and it figures out what bits your DAC should be seeing. I have to confess to never having learned anything I trusted to be true by watching one of Hans’ videos.
