Yes you can. I have thread somewhere in the forum on how to set SD card as the 1st boot device. Let me see and link
How to change default boot option in ALLO USBridge
My USBridge shipped default with Volumio in eMMC. I want to try Dietpi, but Allo boots of eMMC only. The eMMC card is glued to the Sparky board. Can I still safely remove it? Do I need to just pull it upwards? Is there an option to change default boot from eMMc to SD Card so that I can boot Dietp...

Another question. I read from one of your post
https://www.hifivision.com/threads/allo-usbridge.71104/page-2#post-790611
that we cannot install picoreplayer on USBridge because it is based on Sparky.
Is it still the case?. do you know?.
I am interested in picoreplayer because you had mentioned that it is the best for YouTube plugin.
Thanks,
Sivakuru

Further impressions after using allo shanti power supply for 3 weeks.
- Never realized that "linear power supply" on raspberry pi can have such a good impact.
- Music has never been so 'pleasant' to listen to. Its not that in my previous setup i never got goose bumps, but with linear power supply there is something new and something different, which i am unable to clearly articulate further than my previous post comments.
- you can really 'see' into the mix of the recording. This is something i had read many times, but experienced now only.
- Music from speakers is not thrown on you. Rather you will feel that some musical performance is happening in between the space of your speaker and some instruments are being played in that space.
- You are not listening to vocals, rather the singer is singing, and that too singer is singing specially for you, in front of you.
- Some hip-hop songs do not have power. e.g. song from 'war' film. Not sure after further burn-in this will get resolved or not.
- A shift has happened on the list of songs i have started listening. Some songs which I did not find pleasant earlier and used to rarely listen are now sounding musical and i find myself listening more to them. For some songs it has reversed.
- allo digione signature was a step-up already for me. And shanti has brought it to another level. Well ofcourse the change is not a night-and-day difference. However it is a clear improvement which if we hear once, then would never like to go back to the non-shanti setup.
- sometimes when I am not facing my music system, and suddenly there is some sort of dialogue by the singer, my natural instinct is to turn around as if some person in the room spoke.
- Some songs which i used to pleasantly listen before, are not sounding that musical any more. I am not sure whether this is happening if signature / shanti is more revealing thats why. OR if my previous setup which had more warmth, used to hide the unpleasantness inherent in the source.
- Last but not the least.
-> "Noise" / "RFI" / "EMI" I could never hear in my old setup.
-> But after digione-signature & especially shanti, i now realize it was present.

amit11.

@firearm12 : Did you try eneloop pro(2300mAh) or just the regular eneloop(2000mAh)?
I used regular eneloop but i suppose you could use pro also.

How much back up these eneloop batteries provide after being fully charged ?
May be around 24 hrs non stop

I am planning to buy a new Allo DigiOne Signature with Shanti LPSU.
Compared to this, how is USBridge? I have gone through the web but I don't see many videos for their comparison.
If we already have a thread, please share it.

There is a review of the usbridge signature by Hans Beekhausyen on youtube. He compares the 2 devices briefly.
Depends on the dac. If your dac has better usb implementation then get usbridge sig
I dont think it can be integrated with amazon music.

I am using Musical Fidelity M1 DAC which I bought from an FM a month ago.
It has Coaxial, USB Type B, AES XLR, and TOSLINK input connectivity.
I do not think any great advantage would be there except may be the USB bus and Ethernet ports are now separated from the power management I guess in the 4 or 4B versions. In the earlier version they both were sharing the same power and hence noise issues if you were using the USB out to the dac along with the attached HDD.

I use 18650 rechargeable batteries to fed the clean side of my Allo digione signature .These batteries after being fully charged can run nearly 100 plus hours non stop.

Did you buy the 18650 batteries on amazon, any link?

My personal opinion would be stick to coax if the DAC supports that. M1 looks like a reasonably dated DAC, so prefer coax. Unless you have a USB only or a well implemented USB DAC, go with coax.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
