Previously had the Pirate Audio Headphone hat which is brilliant. Decided I wanted to have separate screen and audio. The shim is perfect for this. Running it on a Pi Zero 2W with Moode 10. Fitting it is an easy push onto the gpio. The board feels very thin but it felt really secure on the gpio pins. As the zero already had config for the previous hat, it worked. Audio is great and the gpio is free which allowed me to add a gpio breakout out for patching the screen. Only comment is it wasn't delivered in a box. The postman was a bit brutal putting it into the letterbox. Really love this board and Moode sounds awesome!!

Works fine on a RPi V1.1. Alas, no alsamixer volume control.

Used it to make a piCorePlayer for Home Assistant using a PI Zero 2W - excellent piece of kit!

Installed the shim on a Pi 3A+ set up as a bare metal MT32 sound module. Works great.

Great sound. AirPlay2 with Shairplay and the SHIM works perfectly. Awesome

Rpi3B+ Works very well and very easy to set up in picoreplayer. Sound quality is ecellent. Note: I tried to fit a 3.5" LCD but found GPIO conflicts which could only be resolved by remapping the screen and rewiring. So in that respect my anticipated project failed, best to go for a DSI interface screen in that case

Up and running in 15 mins (with Volumio), into my 1970s Pioneer amp and Celestions. Prog rock heaven.
