Hi all,
I currently stream Apple Music from my iPhone to an Apple Airport Express via Airplay2. The Airport is connected to my Topping D30 via optical. This works very well, however I am limited to 16/44.1 and all those hi-res files are being downsampled.
I’d like to upgrade my streamer and try out Qobuz, and make use of my existing D30 DAC. I see the Allo units are very well reviewed and affordable, however I am not sure which one I need.
I don’t need to DAC, so it seems like the Boss players are not necessary. The Digione Player looks like a good option, and has coaxial output, not sure if that is good or bad for my D30? It does still have the RPi3, whereas the newer units are using the RPi4.
I could get a Boss 1.2 player with RPi4, and the acrylic case for less than the digione, assuming it can act as just a streamer without issue?
I would select Moode as the OS for either one as I believe that lets me stream Qobuz using UPnP. On this note, does this let you stream from the Qobuz app, or is there a Moode app I need to use instead?
Thanks!
