Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Audio Experience with Allo DIGIONE Player Streamer - Double Relocking, Outstanding Sound Quality, BNC Audio Output Compatibility for RPI by Jack Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

the sound is quite good for its price

This item is very good for what it offers. You need to buy a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (not 4B), a linear power supply for Raspberry and a micro SD card in addition to this HAT board. Total cost for this project is about $260 including all items. Now for the sound: DigiOne + LPSU is actually very good. It's actually better than the Blue Sound Node 2i, which is twice the price on Revain. DigiOne + LPSU is about 90% MicroRendu (not the Ultra version). Note that I'm also using LPSU with MicroRendu for comparison purposes. The wireless option can be used for the DigiOne but this will greatly reduce the SQ. So, I suggest you just use an ethernet connection. Using Bluetooth with the DigiOne also significantly reduces the SQ. Instead, you can use Apple AirPlay as a better alternative solution. The total time it takes me to assemble the DigiOne is about 2 hours: 30 minutes to install the HAT and case. 1 hour to install the software (in this case I use Moode) 30 minutes to configure SqueezeLite and Airplay. At first I could hardly distinguish the DigiOne from the MicroRendu. and after careful comparison I found the MicroRendu to sound a bit more relaxed and open than the DigiOne. But the difference is not big at all, but I have a very expensive and open audio system. My conclusion: For the price the product is quite decent.
