    I have various other good streamers too that I won't get into here.

    What has me curious is - can a fully pimped out and Pi attached to an Allo Shanti be as good as 'anything' irrespective of price out there?
    No.

    Agreed.

    However try our Usbridge Sig . Its a RPI (compute module) that its feed using 30 LDOs. Using a Shanti + Usbridge Sig we are confident to be " the best of the best USB streamers"

    Yes we are biased but we also know from testing that there is almost no noise on each rail .

    I think that a few reviews are coming up

    could Tidal be streamed via the Usbridge? (I'm currently using Katana).

    I'm currently using a Powerbank with my DigiOne and am getting excellent results. I am curious however to find out how it sounds with a regular linear PSU and a Supercap. I'm put off the Shanti by the sheer physical size of it and will look for a neater solution.

    Thumbs up

    Just installed the Allo USBridge and Shanti LPS.

    Good step up from a Pi4, feeding Ian Canada FIFO with NDK clocks and his dual mono DAC with transformer output, fed from his LiFE P04 supply.

    Neurochrome amps with 0.00045 % THD+N into naked Quad 989's in custom steel frames.


    Less noise = more music.

    I have just bought a Shanti LPS to use with my Allo Digione player . Will use the second supply to power a MiniDSP DDRC 22D . Does anyone know where the advice on using the earth lead on the Shanti is ? Where on the Digione would you attache the earth lead ?

    This is the thread for the Shanti/USBridge/Revolution DAC.

    I connected the Shanti ground to my USBridge ground but heard no difference.

    If there is no ground on the Digione you could cannibalise a USB plug to just utilise it's ground.

    Where is the best place to buy the Allo Shanti LPS in the UK?

    Are there any plans to produce just a 5V 3A output? as that's all I require.

    It's not available in the UK afaik. The new Nirvana SMPS will give 2.85A at 5V. Available from the Allo website, EU shipping.
