The combination of great sound and great value proved very successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 years Allo felt the need to upgrade the Boss. The only questions was, how could they make the Boss2 sound \u003cem\u003eeven better\u003c\/em\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sound quality, they decided to use the new Cirrus Logic DAC CS43198 as a master (another first from the Allo team). Unlike the PCM5122, it has excellent THD (-120 vs – 83). Unlike Ess, the sound is “darker” (not bright, low out of band noise).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllo are using over 30 LDOs (as usual), two super caps and countless filters. They also upgraded the power input filtering with common mode chokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Boss2 Player Basic comes with an acrylic case along with an OLED screen and IR remote (no PSU included). Whilst specialist low-noise power supplies are the ideal power source, standard USB-C power supplies are perfectly compatible (may degrade the THD by 1-2db).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Boss2 Player is a meaningful upgrade over the original Boss in terms of sound quality (measurements, THD \/ Jtest) and value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes acrylic case with OLED display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote control included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC CS43198 (192 kHz\/32bit )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC output is selectable (1.7Vrms or 2Vrms) .\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSampling Frequency 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Ultra-low Phase noise NDK SDA oscillators are used for master\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClock generation.(MCLK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoss2 Player DAC board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylic Case with OLED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote (batteries not included)\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaspberry Pi and power supply not included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual including setup and software configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Allo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46039366762556,"sku":"fvc1787258184671","price":63.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6985\/2220\/files\/allo-boss2-player-basic-discontinued_1.jpg?v=1787258193","url":"https:\/\/luxecladstore.shop\/products\/allo-boss2-player-basic-discontinued","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
