ALLO USBridge Signature

[Judelow]

Hi Allo team,

 

Without getting into subjective questions, why was the reason moving from the "old" usbridge (which was already very good) to the "signature" version? Is there any performance difference between the old and the new (noise, speed, heat...)?

First , we moved to RPI compute module that has the latest kernel (compared with Usbridge that had a very old kernel)

 

 Second , we felt that from a hardware point we viwe we could do match better (in terms of filters , LDOs)

 

  Third , the new USbridge Sig has a RPI connector making it compatible with Digione or any other DAC hats.

Thanks for your answer.

One more (probably stupid, I have not searched), it works with Roon right?

Hi

 

 I just got word the driver will be included in the 6.27 (next release) on DietPI

Great news

Would you mind reminding us the right process to update drivers properly?

Regards

Hi allo!

I just received my usbridge sig today! It works perfectly fine out of the box. Thanks!!

One question: in allo GUI, I see that I have v6.18.14 version and the gui suggest that an update is available. As everything is working fine, should I press the update buttons?

4.14 solved issues on my Chord Qutest. 

 

May I ask on which Matrix DAC there were issues?

FWIW I have just purchased my USBridge Signature & Shanti LPSU and looking forward to it arriving and seeing how DSD performs via SqueezeLite (with the Diet Pi/Allo GUI O/S).

I knew something was missing in your signature

I have also read that there is a problem with using USBridge Sig with Chord Qutest due to Qutest not supporting native DSD on Linux and the problem causes some popping sounds even when not playing any DSD files?

 

 

Right. I had these issues with my Qutest. Allo provided a software based on kernel 4.14 which solved the problem (but I am not on the last 4.19)

do you know if there is any solution on the horizon apart from using outdated kernel?

Ask allo team🤠

[Judelow]

Why could not you? 

[Judelow]

Does it work with roon? 

[Judelow]

The RPi4 USB bus does not have the issues that the RPi3 did.
