Nirvana PSU PCB revision 4 is being tested.
Katanas will start shipping from tomorrow. The first batch will go to preorders etc and only then we will ship to reviewers .
Thx you all for your patience.

Katana has 2 order options on the website, first is plus isolator and acrylic case but NO Pi B+, second is as the complete player bundle(including Pi) but without the isolator. Will you update the player options to include the isolator in the build, and how much difference does it make to sound quality?
It would be very nice if there is the option to order the KATANA PLAYER without any case.

Is it possible for Indian users to buy Katana/Allo products in INR currency as allo products are being manufactured in India which will help saving unnecessary currency conversion charges and cost else we have to rely on other retailers which might not offer all the configuration options as Allo does and Katana is not yet listed on their sites. Thanks.

Hi,
Did you altezdy sent katana 1.2 to reviewers?
Really curious about the two output stages.

Hi
we are sending every day Katanas , you will be notified when your order is sent. Meanwhile some reviewers were sent new Katanas. We are clearing all backorders. It takes time.

Received my new replacement Katana today and will start listening to it tonight after the doorbell stops ringing when those little trick-or-treaters have gone home. Thank you.

Good. Let us know what you think. You need a bit of burn in but I would say 2-3 days will bring it to a good level.
I'm still waiting for Katana V2. I wrote email to your colleague, Mr Andre, but nobody reply or answer me. 😕
@cdsgames.
Slighty off topic: While waiting patiently for Katana, I'm still playing around with my Kali/Piano21 setup...
... and it's not that I dislike that setup - - not at all.
I actually recently managed to squeeze a little more out of it and really enjoy that setup.
While doing so...
...I was wondering if the outptut filter mod you introduced to Katana would also apply to the other Allo dacs such as Piano2.1/Boss ?
If I recall it correctly you just lowered the cutoff frequency on the Katana filter, didn't you!?!?
If so -- since we're t DIY-Audio over here -- you might want to share which parts at what values and types would have to be swapped for a little upgrade on e.g. the Piano21.
Thx

Digging up a really old post, from when cdsgames first started talking about the Katana...
Emphasis mine. I was just wondering if you or anyone else can elaborate a bit more on what is meant by "[AKM DACs] need specific voltage to work at full potential".
