Allo Katana DAC

[Onionhead]

Thank you Johan from what you describe I can get by with reasonable inexpensive power supply in the beginning and upgrade from there once I have the funds. I have three streamers with two Allo products Piano 2.1 and Digi Signature, the third is a 2015 Hifi Berry DAC +. From your description I need to make it 3 out of 3 in favor of Allo. Enjoy.... Tim

Hey Tim,

You're absolutely right: at the beginning you don't need to spend precious money to these expensive PS (December is already an expensive month, with all these presents…). In my case (I bought the plug and play version) it came with a PS adapter (5V/3A) which I don't even use. The Katana itself will give you better sound compared to all other RPi DAC's, even without the "perfect" power supply. Start small, grow big....later on you can always improve the sound slightly by getting a better PS.

Besides, if you don't buy the Isolator, one simple PS will suffice (cfr. Tim Curtis).
I'm using a USB charger for now, you can always use a decent powerbank as well.

In any case, if you want to profit from the 10% discount Allo is offering now, I wouldn't wait too long to order.... :-)

With the 10% off and for US customers no VAT how could anyone not pull the trigger.
