With an Allo Kali I2S reclocker, a pair of nice power supplies and of
course a good OS, my current RPI setup is all I ever wanted.
And all that at below 300$. And no. I don't have sell this setup after 1 year with a huge loss because there's again a new and best ever device popping up.
The Kali delivers an I2S quality that can compare with the best
USB-I2S interfaces (All USB DACs convert USB to I2S!) out there.

The Allo Digione is their newest kid on the block.They pretty much added all the stuff (and more) we've been discussing
over at DIY-Audio related to their other products.Yep. Allo is listening.
Without ever testing it and for sure not going to test it (because I don't use a 2nd class audio interface anymore),
I'd expect they'll keep their promises/goal to build the "Absolut best S/PDIF output" to quite an extent.However.
1. At 99$ they also start pushing their limits. Though, if the device delivers what's been promised it's still more then a bargain.
Especially if you compare it to USB interfaces and the related USB trouble with associated cost to get these fixed.
2. I don't think it's a good idea to let the Toslink go.
Even if it's theoretically worse then SPDIF, it limits the
Digione use cases.
3. Devices behave differently in complex environments
They have to prove that they can cope with this.
4. From what I see on the pics there's no output transformer.
That'll be the best solution with attached devices that come with transformer on the input. Devices without input transformer though
might not be doing that well.
Perhaps a 2nd output would have been the more flexible approach.
5. I don't see an external power option. All Allo devices and other HATs
I've tried have shown better performance by using a separate power supply. You might have to heat up your soldering iron.
Bottom line.If you want to go SPDIF, the Digione is IMO the best SPDIF HAT out there.
A HifiBerry plays in a different league - at least when looking at the architecture and features of the boards.
I'd also expect that quite some USB-SPDIF interfaces will get a tough time
related to performance and for sure related to price.

E.g.
DietPi
PiCorePlayer
Volumio
have the driver already in.
Moode is releasing an updated version soon.
For sure you'll find an OS to play with the DigiOne.
********************
Looking forward to your feedback.
Yes, i had already checked on the picoreplayer support. I noticed that the latest release has support for the digione.
