I can emphatically recommend Allo kit from my experience with the USBridge Sig. Sounds significantly better than my 2019 MacBook Pro for streaming. Many reviews have it rivalling vastly more expensive kit so I wouldn’t get distracted by second hand stuff at similar price points.

TBH there's a sizable element of just not wanting to spend the money. Instead of £13+£40, it's £35+£50... which using manmaths feels like £50 vs £100
Ultimately the weak point in my system is the speakers (ancient Bose acoustimass) and the amp isn't anything special (bottom of the range CA). Unfortunately WAF (and to a lesser extent mini-H) limits me to those speakers.

Thanks.
Frustratingly the zero is out of stock and I'm not keen on paying a premium for it, so wondering about a 3 instead, but then the cheaper Allo hat will put the audio outs in an odd place and the more expensive one is...well, more expensive and drifts into otp 2nd hand options.
Although I've been watching a lot of John Darko on YT and the Allo stuff seems to be well rated.
