Is the Raspberry Pi with Allo DigiOne the Ideal SPDIF transport?

I am convinced the ideal endpoint for a home LAN Music Network is the Raspberry Pi with the Allo DigiOne SPDIF Transport, powered by the iFi Audio iPower 5v PSU.

By eliminating runs of USB cable between components, you eliminated USB Noise.

USB isn’t the issue as much as the power and ground loops, which I hope most DAC’s now properly isolate.

Still, I’m all for inexpensive streamers. The advantage of USB however is still bandwidth.
