It's really worth trying to battery power the HAT separately from the Pi3, only needs 3.3v, it does things to the sound, reinforces every note gives more dynamics and just makes the whole image more believable, much better bass with more slam......amazing really.

Should think the 2b will respond to the same power supply treatment, I'm trying to get the Pi3 setup to as far as I can and have to say it has surpassed my expectations especially with Tim's Moode Player. The Advanced LL (low latency) seems to give slightly more realism than the RR setting but I'll have to play some more. Spdif output via the Justboom Digi HAT works better than USB directly from the Pi, less noise/glare more clarity, believability. I'm using a Chord Mojo directly into my valve power amps as it has an excellent volume control, better than my passive preamp.
Haven't listened to as much music as this in years, that about says it all.

If you add up what a decent preamp will cost as well as an external DAC then it is good buy, if a little painful when handing over the £400. The Mojo is a remarkable bit of kit, makes music. Doesn't seem to change in sound terms whether plugged into charge or left on battery power either - I use a LPS to do this which might be OTT. BTW I got the very nice case thrown in for that, Frank Harvey Hi-Fi - it's normally £60!
Cheers
Rod
