Hi all,
My current raspberry pi setup consists of a Justboom Digi pHAT going into their standalone DAC. Is it worth purchasing an ALLO Boss Mini DAC to go on the rpi rather than using my current setup?
Cheers,

I had the RPi 3 with Allo Boss DAC HAT and it was very good but I have sold this on and now use a JustBoom Dac with LPSU and I prefer this. The Allo Boss was good but maybe a tad bass heavy for my liking.
I have done reviews of the Allo DAC's on my website.
I currently use the Revolution DAC and its amazing.
Check it out on my website:

I also know someone who has a full Revolution DAC setup for sale.

Many thanks for your kind words. Well... In my opinion the Rev is superior. And it's more flexible.
The ability to change settings on the fly with the remote control is really great too.
Pm me if you want to know anything further.

I've a Pi3B and I bought a Topping D10S recently it's excellent with the Pi, £99 delivered from Amazon.
The D10s can be used as a USB to SPDIF converter BTW.

I have a Boss 2. I've tested Moode, DietPi AlloGUI, and Volumio. Volumio sadly does not yet fully support this DAC and only has Air Play 1. Moode is okay but for my use the DietPi and Allo GUI is awesome.
Cheers,
