Power supplies
#1
I built a nice linear power supply using two 7805s, one for the Raspberry Pi and one for an Allo DAC. The DAC side worked fine, but a 7805 can't supply enough current for the Pi. So, I built a separate, well-filtered linear supply for the DAC and bought a 2.5 amp SMPS for the Pi. That's in place now and sounds great. I didn't think that I would like this streaming business that much, but I do. I haven't tried any of the other DACs or drivers but the stack listed below is quite musical.

Raspberry Pi 3 with 2.5 amp with SMPS
Allo Boss DAC 1.2 with regulated linear power
MoOde Audio 4.1 using the IIR filter
Lenovo Tab 3 as a controller
KT88 SE amp (ultralinear)
Transmission line speakers
Powered subs

I plan to redo my original supply with LM317s, which should deliver enough current to run th Pi.

This was fun!

Thanks,

      John
