Allo Boss Dac
#1
I just got my Allo Boss Dac and I had some questions.

1.  I have a Rasperry pi 3b and 4. Which one should I use?
2.  Do I need to power it with a separate USB C power source.
3.  Any other hints?

I have both, personally I prefer the Pi 3b as player.
The Pi 4 becomes fairly hot without cooling measures and you really don't need the performance.

Use the Pi 4 for somehting more usefull like developing moOde ;-)

A second power supply feeding the BOSS HAT separately would help (the better the PSU the better the sound)... but the perceived gain in playback quality will depend on the quality of the downstream audio chain (headphone amplifier + headphones or amplifier + speakers) as well.
