Another clue, maybe...
As soon as I hit Play, the MoOde AP disappears from the list of SSH 'devices' in my Android tablet's wireless network settings. I think that means the Allo Boss v1.4 DAC is knocking out the RPi3's built in WiFi adapter. That's why the UI becomes unresponsive; it's not receiving anything from the Android because MoOde is running headless with its WiFi knocked out.
The only more powerful 5V supply I have is another wall wart rated for 3A instead of 2.5A. I don't know if that extra 500mA of capacity should make a difference, but using it didn't change the behavior I'm seeing.
I hope there's nothing wrong with this Boss DAC I just got. I've posted to Allo's support forum over on Computer Audiophile about this.
Now that I have two DC adapters working, perhaps I can try powering the DAC separately from the Pi. I'll read up on how to configure the jumpers on the board, etc. [Edit: Their USB C adapter doesn't fit the 2.1mm barrel plug on my second power supply, so until I get a 2.1mm to USB C adapter that fits my supply, I can't test the separate power supply hypothesis.]
We'll see what happens...
