“My Pi is running a Lyrion music server, and this HAT means I can plug it directly into my hi-fi receiver. Simply connected the HAT to the Pi, told the piCorePlayer software to output on the Pi DAC Pro and I instantly had high quality audio. Bosh.”
“This works perfectly, plug and play. I was evaluating Moode audio and Volumio and with both of them I had only to select it in the audio options. For Volumio this exact model name didn't show up, i think i went with 'Raspberry Pi Dac+'. I'm running it into a good hi-fi system and the sound quality was spot on.”
“I'm happy with the hat, but I don't think my choice to install on Raspberry Pi 5 was optimum, Pi 4 would have been much easier.
On Pi 5 it's definitely not plug-and-play and took a lot of trial and error to get it working. The key for me was to:
1. Specify IQaudIO DAC Plus in the DAC Model setting of Audio Output under General Playback Options
2. Specify this in /boot/config.txt: dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus”
“Perfect addition to my 2nd pi 4 and the multi room audio player setup.Great sound quality for the money, I have the sound and functionality of far more expensive off the peg network streamer. Swift delivery, good communication from seller.”
