“excellent piece of kit for my Music streamer project .. easy to configure do remember you need a PI wirth version with the head soldered on to use HATS”
“Amazing little DAC. Tried with a pi 4 and then a Pi Zero 2W, connected to a hifi amp. The sound quality is a vast improvement on the standard audio and very simple to setup.”
“Excellent sound quality. Works well with Apple Airplay and Bluetooth with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fitted with a GPIO Hammer Header, and an external Kinivo USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC BTD400 and USB converter instead of internal Bluetooth. Performance OK with Bluetooth only on Pi Zero WH with WiFi disabled, sound very choppy with WiFi.”
“Bought to improve the audio quality of a R-Pi 3B. A vast improvement to the default headphone socket. Just need to come up with an enclosure to house the combo.”
“This DAC came with the 40 pin header already soldered on, despite what the manufacturer's website says. The DAC produces decent sound with my modest Klipsch Fives powered speakers through the AUX input using an RCA to 3.5mm audio cable. I have set this up with Volumio and the orginal Raspberry Pi W. Seems to cope well enough without much lag. PLEASE NOTE: To get it working with Volumio I set it up as a Generic I2S DAC - none of the HifiBerry optiosn worked for me. I also 3D printed a case for it from thingiverse, giving a nice portable music player solution.”
“Perfect for my purpose! I had to remove the phono (RCA) sockets so that the board would fit (with the Pi Zero2) into a small diecast box. The card has no problem generating complex waveforms at 192 kHz and provides a "line level" output signal with low noise. Configuring the card was trivially simple, and the output could be considered to be "hi-fi". The photo shows how small the combination of the Pi Zero2 and this soundcard is - it was taken during configuration, before I had removed the RCA sockets and added the external WiFi aerial to the Pi.
Highly recommended!”
“After soldering the header onto my Pi Zero, I popped this HAT on, installed Volumio, and updated the /boot/config.txt file. It's now sitting in the battery compartment of my 90s-vintage Panasonic boombox, letting me play Spotify and cast music to it and sounding great!”
