Allo Katana Dac

Unread post by montechristo358 »

Anyone know if this is still available?

been struggling for months to locate one and even Allo's website redirects you to something else when selecting the Katana

have they discontinued it?

Allo have supply problems at the moment due to the Lockdown in India.

I gave up waiting for a a USBridge SIG to be delivered.

Maybe someone has a Katana in stock.

The Katana was I believe discontinued last September by Allo citing it was too difficult to manufacture economically. They have since brought out a standalone USB dac called Revolution ( only 1 PSu needed ) to good reviews so far -

But Allo are apparently working on a new HAT dac for the USB Signature streamer.
