the justboom digihat is a great sounding “hat” for raspberry pi, producing great sounding digital audio to connect to your dac. comparable to allo digione at half the cost. allo digione gets the hype, but i extensively compared the two in the same system and the digione had only slightly more resolution, at the expense of some smoothness. the justboom had a warmer more cozy and less analytical sound. it is immensely satisfying. i used picoreplayer and squeeze server as my client/server and it worked fantastic. but you can geek out trying all the different software setups out there. also tried volumio etc for a while but picoreplayer was the most rock solid as it ran entirely in memory. included is a raspberry pi(v2.2), basic power supply, external wifi antenna. Free shipping!
