DAC suggestions for ALLO USBRIDGE SIGNATURE
Mortsnets replied to mattpitts74's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I don't have a Modi 3 but do have an original Modi and a multibit version. I would guess the KTB is more detailed and lively sounding. The KTB sounds good to me with either usb or spdif input. -
There is a used Denafrips Ares for sale at HeadFi for $550.

DAC suggestions for ALLO USBRIDGE SIGNATURE
Mortsnets replied to mattpitts74's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
+1 on the Khadas Tone Board - a great value. I would want to check out the Metrum Flint, Soekris 1321, Schiit Bifrost 2. These may stretch the budget a bit unless buy used. I have the Schiit Modi Multibit and like it but much prefer it using SPDIF input. Other affordable dacs I like: Halide HD (no longer made so used), Starting Point Systems (Non-oversampling) DAC3. -

Some people like Diet Pi for this. https://www.dagogo.com/allo-usbridge-signature-review/

Volumio has a plugin for Spotify Connect. I use Moode and it supports Spotify Connect too and sounds good.

Use ethernet cable instead of wifi. I've read good things about the Klein, what could be improved sound quality wise? If I had the cash I would probably spring for a Holo Spring DAC.

I think the usually suggested alternative to WiFi is wired headless instead of using a monitor. What distro and DAC are you using? I think a affordable upgrade might be to get a better dac? I'm using Volumio and spotify connect with a Allo Boss I2S Master DAC, https://www.allo.com/sparky/boss-dac.html

I think only Firefox supports the the decoding of the BBC3 lossless audio stream within mp4. http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/radio-3-concert-sound2
