• Pretty sure PI2AES doesn't run 7V like the uR - E-Stat 07:14:15 03/05/21 (4)

  You would not want to run under voltage to the ultraRendu and not overvoltage to the PI2AES.
  
  Might fry the latter.

  • That's the LPS-1 at 5V to the Pi alone - Ivan303 09:54:11 03/05/21 (3)

    with the supplied 24V SMPS to the PI2AES with the jumper (supplying 5V from PI2AES to Pi) pulled.

      Ivan,
      
      Did you find any difference using separate power supplies from the PI2AES and the board?

      Just don't use the 24V setting!

        The PI2AES is designed to operate on the 24V ps. With the jumper in place the PI2AES hat is regulated and will only supply 5V to the pi board. Remove the jumper and the 24V supplies power only to the hat, a separate 5V ps must then be used.

  Yes, if the jumper is in place you can power the whole thing from the 24V.
  
  I just swapped the Allo 5V powering my board only for the ifi iPower X. A very little difference, slightly smoother, less grain, a tiny bit blacker background. Shows how good the little Allo PS is for $11 compared to the $99 ifi, diminishing returns for sure.
