Bit of a long shot, but if you don't ask an all that.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

Are you still looking to sell the Boss player? Is it v1.0 or v1.2 of the Boss DAC?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

It's version 1.2 but I've decided to keep it as a spare. Just not worth taking the financial hit.

Sorry.

No worries. How do you find the Katana in comparison?

The Katana is not necessarily a leap of faith better. It's just far more refined.

Unfortunately, I've had one Katana overheat which destroyed the MC board... But God bless Allo, they replaced the whole unit without argument. FOC.

Just for a bit of info... I've tried the Boss player with the isolator board and to my ears, was not much different to the Katana.

Both players were configured with dual linear power supplies.... Which I personally think makes a massive difference.

However, I guess many would disagree with my assessment.

Still, I do consider both these little DACS.... Extreme value for money.

My main DAC is the Myteck Brooklyn & the Microrendu at 6 times the cost.... But hard pressed to decide which is ultimately better.

@beermaniac, yes I'd be interested.

This is for a system I'm putting together for a friend.

@bourneendboy I have a Khadas tone board already, however I don't have a case and yours looks pretty smart, will reply on your thread.

@Boyse6748, I'm a fan of Allo, they really seem to be pushing the boundaries of sound quality for DIY solutions. Interested to see what their upcoming Revolution DAC is like.
