Hi, Last night I put together a new player, a Raspberry Pi 3 with Allo Boss DAC, running piCorePlayer. The plan was for this to be a small player that would feed an Audio Pro Addon T3 in the bedroom or study. This would be a nice compact player giving decent enough sound for casual listening.
I was a little short of time after putting the case together (should have watched the video properly rather than assuming I could just fudge my way through) so I quickly hooked it into my main system to check it was all working. The main system is an SB3 -> analogue out to Onkyo A 9010 amp -> KEF LS50 speakers Therefore the pi + Allo Boss was a simple drop in replacement for the SB3. It turns out (to my ears anyway) the pi + Allo Boss combination outshone the SB3! It's now going to be the source for my main system with the SB3 relegated to feed the T3. One question I do have, with the SB3 I always set volume to 100% and let the amp take care of volume adjustment. Should I be doing the same with the Allo Boss to give the cleanest output or am I better finding a volume sweet spot for the Allo Boss (around say 75%)?
