Allo Boss2 DAC No Native DSD Play Back

[Arun Raj]

Hi All,

I have purchased an Allo Boss2 DAC Acrylic version recently. The DAC is awesome and I am using moOde OS as its player. But the only issue I face is that the player not playing any DSD files in their native state, if I changed the settings to DoP, the player starts to play files up to DSD 64. Why is that? Did I miss any step in the process? Also, How can I play DSD files above 64 (DSD 256 or DSD 512..etc)?

It’s the hardware connection type limit … any HAT do have that constraint.

If you go for a usb connection you’ll be able to play native dsd at any resolution.

With my rpi4 and a Khadas Tone Board usb connected I can play native dsd up to DSD512 that’s the limit of the KTB

Ok, Thanks.

 

May I know how KTB sounds compaire with Boss 2, oru any HAT dac.

I’ve not compared them as I don’t own any hat dac, anyway the KTB is really a very fine dac and can compete with much more expensive dacs.

Ok, Cool.

 

Thanks mate.
