I did place an order on the Allo website.   Just so no one feels bad,
there was a $28 shipping fee (with the cheapest option).     It took
about 9 days to arrive.   All parts arrived...nice not to have to
scrounge for power supply (wall wart with different international
faceplates).   I substituted max2play for the volumio card, in part
because you can then configure the pi zero W without a cable.  

Only minor  hardware complaint is that the micro sd card in the pi is a
push-pull and not a push-push with a spring ejector.   For me, at least,
this meant I had to disassemble the case to switch the card.  My
solution ws to leave that face of the plastic enclosure out of the
reassembly.

The only small software problem is that the max2play allo tab is a bit
cryptic and there are settings that are a bit unclear
23667

I have only had a casual chance to listen, and am not one for subjective
impressions, but I find it to be quite adequate and maybe better.   More
serious listening later, but for US $79 + $28 =$107 for essentially a
complete squeezeplayer, I am, to date, happy.
