    Separate supplies to the RPi and Boss are the way to go in my opinion. I don't think I would spend more on the psu than on the DAC itself though.

    Ive heard some good word of mouth recommendations about the supplies from ReelAudio anyone else used them? Agree about the costs though, it's easy to spiral out and spend more on DIY than an off the shelf product.

    Is this what the Allo isolator does?

    No, the Isolator is not a power supply. It isolates the supply to the Pi from that to the DAC, and hence stops the transmission of noise, leading potentially to improved sound.

    I'm currently using a Pi/Boss v1.2 with an Ifi Ipower connected to the USB C connector on the Boss which then feeds the Pi.

    I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on a Longdog Audio Linear PSU, but have some reservations on whether this is likely to be a worthwhile and cost effective improvement on the Ifi.

    Anyone in a similar situation who has gone this route?

    Yes, except the Allo isn't 'as' configurable as the Mezzanine, there's more user selectable options and the ability to output much more current from the Mezzanine. At a cost of course... I'd imagine performance is broadly similar.
