That is nice!
There are quite a few reports that the Tinkerboard sounds better than the RPi.
Both the new Volumio streamer and the new Pink Faun streamers use one.
So it might be also a benefit for Allo to make sure that all their RPi products are Tinkerboard compatible as well.

From an audio point of view , I dont think there is a real advantage going to thinker. Still , I think , the noise on thinker board is slightly lower than RPI , but its capped at 24/192Khz on I2S
Yet with the better OS RPI has a clear advantage
When I2S of SBCs is restricted for various reasons why not offer an USB interface for Katana so Katana could be used with devices with USB output like Allo USBridge for example.

cdsgames and Allo,
Just so you know, I received a Katana DAC circuit board power cable, the one with a Brown wire for the + and a Black wire for the -, that was reversed. Or, in other words, Black for the + and Brown for the -.
This thread and cdsgames participation herein helped out, and I was on the lookout for it. No harm done.
Just wanted for you to be able to account for these in the field. My order number was 004437.
There are many, many ways Allo support goes the extra mile and here is another example of one. Kundos!

Edit: There is a similar request from the Volumio forum:
"Do you know if we have the chance in the future to get a stand-alone Katana equivalent with classic inputs (USB, coax etc.)?"
Can you PM me your order number ? I want to check with shipping when and where it was sent from
