PYP Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Really enjoyed reading your review. Interesting selection of music! Thank you.

Thank you very much for the nice words !! Actually, the setting ist our dogs favorite place for a swim outside the canine-deadly cyanobacteies season (July-September). As Frisby loves to be an early bird (contrary to his sister), I took him with me that morning. The session was between 06:30 and 08 o'clock. He was so remarkable cool with me being busy and not throwing disks for him that I took some pics from him as well. Here is my favorite one from that morning - for your wife only 😉 blue2 and PYP 2 Link to comment

Lizard_King Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I just received my Revolution Dac with the remote Control and Flex cable. For the meantime i am using my RPI 3B+ with Moode Audio and not the Boss Dac . I have a n RPI4B on the way and getting wired soldered underneath the GPIO pins ti bypass the USB=V power input. I use Moode Audio. The flex cable is short so the Pi and case and next to each other. I placed the original Audioquest Jitterbug to reduce noise from the USB port. The cable i use for my external hard drive has the power cut ad I use an external power supply for it. Within Moode, I changed (from the Boss 1.2) the hardware Volume mixer to Zero so Moode does not Control the volume. So far so good, more to come.

Popular Post DuckToller Posted December 8, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2023 Thanks @The Computer Audiophile North seems to be a proper keyboard warrior. He was invited to private conversation but didn't come, perhaps he's kind of timid otherwise when it isn't late in the evening? His facon of counting - too - has quite a strange connotation for me, perhaps he was only mentioning posts in relation to the Allo Revolution DAC ? I tried to fill in at times for the services that the users couldn't get from ALLO, as far as I could with my knowledge about the device. About Allo: Their team in India was decimated by Covid, and I have no idea if Allo were able to compensate the loss. My heart goes out their families. Imho, for most people the time frame for the Allo Revolution (and Part 2) has passed - according to this source the model is discontinued, and I had infomed Johan from Allo already in Spring 2021 when my mother was dying slowly during the COVID lockdown in Europe that I may not finish the second part of the review due to 2much private occupation in these dark times. After his latest remark North will follow Frank on the ignore list ... The Computer Audiophile and Jud 1 1 Link to comment

Where did you get that? No, not at all. I asked if there was an article follow-up and was "greeted" with an emotional reply as to why it didn't happen. Then when I see that his personal life didn't keep him off the forums he shifts blame to Allo and suggests I am too timid.

North Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I said, "Interesting that you had dozens of forum posts between 2020 and 2022." It meant it was interesting that the missing Allo follow-up was due to some personal issue yet he was still able to write and post elsewhere. Again, had he clearly mentioned that the Allo was discontinued instead of hinting that I post in the darkness of night he wouldn't be in this situation. For the record, duck: not everyone lives in your time zone. It was an invitation to discuss other things on this forum. "Oh sure, North. yeah, did you see the post about this or that. You should hear this thing." Etc. Link to comment
