Currently using a Dragonfly Black with my RPi3 and digging the sound. System is the DF Black into a PSAudio Sprout.....Thing is, the DF is my Laptop travel DAC, so I would like to get a I2s DAC that sounds as good or better.
Thanks.

I now use a Mamboberry LS DAC with the Kali reclocker to great effect, but will be trying a Piano Dac hopefully this weekend.

I am also having trouble choosing between the Audiophonics I Sabre, Mamboberry LS and Allo Piano offerings.
There is seemingly little difference in quality, but what are the subtle differences in sound?
Anyone got any further insights as to the best option for musicality and detail?

Hello, I have these three, Mambo LS, Piano DAC and also Piano 2.1 all paired with Kali Reclocker onto Pi3 supplied by Ifi-I Power

Hi Vita,
thanks for your reply, that's exactly what i was hoping for
Great insights, thanks. You may have just confirmed my slight bias towards the Mamboberry LS.
What are your opinions on the differences between the Piano DACs? Do you notice any benefit in the 2.1 through the Kali, or are the differences minimal?
How do you house your Pi/Kali/Mamboberry? I would be looking for some sort of case to fit them into, but don't know of any that would fit them well...
Would be great to hear from Yatsushiro on this topic too, if he happens to read this...
Cheers,
Luke
