Those evil b*st*rds at Allo have only gone and IMPROVED their disgustingly amazing DigiOne player and have now announced the 'DigiOne Signature'.

This is a 2-board arrangement plus a Pi; with a 'dirty' board running from the Pi's 5V supply and an independently-powered 'clean' output board. They have also upgraded the clocking circuits to bizarre levels.

I hate them and I want one NOW !!! :angry-screaming:

DIGIONE SIGNATURE

That is insane. The DigiOne was already one of the highest SQ Roon EPs I have listened to; it must be a phenomenal performer now. Pair it with an ultra high quality digital server with bridged Ethernet, such as the Innuos Zenith MkII or Vortexbox Prestige and you’d own a genuine ‘Reference’ class streaming source that you’d need to spend at least £10,000 to improve upon.

Do we have any idea which power supply can be used with the clean power input? 100mv seems to be a strange requirement.

They say that batteries (or any suitable clean/stable power source) are okay - I ran a Pi from a powerbank for a while and it was an improvement over a standard wall-wart. Maybe Allo have one (haven't looked).

PM me your address mate. I bought a Mambo ultra cap power supply a while ago I have never really used and have no use for. It’s supposedly the bollocks. I’ll send it over.

Nice plugin for Radio Paradise, including the flac stream, here: https://volumio.org/forum/radio-paradise-t9886.html

The plugin can of course be installed from within Volumio.
