Anybody here got one?
From what I have read, it is a serious upgrade on the Raspberry PI.
I am wondering if one of these may be the best DAC Route for me.

Yes, it would require a DAC Hat.

Yes, it would require a DAC Hat. I would stick a PecanPi on it. It's so hard to argue with the performance Vs price. It was better than the Katana IMO. I had the Allo Boss, Allo Katana and PecanPi here at the same time and it was easily more transparent than that of the Allo stuff. |

Spoke to Leo yesterday and the pecan doesn't have compatibility with the Tinkerboard at the moment but will soon.
However he states it's not going to improve the DAC so it's pointless to go that route.

If the dac hat isn't fed power from the pi and has suitable fifo buffering/reclocking the the sbc/pi shouldnt make a difference.
