I scooped up one of these at allo.com

$169 for an aluminum case or $129 for clear acrylic and there is a 10 pct Black Friday discount through Dec 25
Interested to see how it works! |
Nice! I just want to mention that the Allo Boss is a just an audio input/output. You still need to figure out a receiver and/or power amp set up.
My set up was an Allo Boss plus a 2x100W power amp and some book case speakers I had collecting dust. If the Boss doesn't work great with your ceiling speaker set up, connecting it to a receiver and speakers isn't a bad option.
Mine is somewhat similar to this as I was just going with a budget build.

I have an Allo Boss and I really like it. I like how I can hop onto any computer with a browser and as long as I'm on the same network, type in the ip address and select music from whatever is connected to the raspberry pi (USB etc.) and manage the music/radio/playlists/volume that way. Hopefully you can find a decent receiver option that works for your ceiling speaker set up.
