Raspberry Pi IQaudio DAC+ HAT | High-Resolution Audio Output Board | 24-bit/192kHz PCM5122 DAC | RCA & Headphone Output | Compatible with Raspberry Pi 2/3/4

The Raspberry Pi IQaudio DAC+ is a high-performance audio expansion HAT designed to deliver superior sound quality for Raspberry Pi-based systems. Built for audio enthusiasts, developers, and hobbyists, this DAC board converts digital audio signals into high-quality analog output, enabling professional-grade audio performance in compact embedded systems. At the core of the DAC+ is the Texas Instruments PCM5122 digital-to-analog converter, capable of supporting high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. This ensures accurate sound reproduction with improved clarity, depth, and detail, making it ideal for Hi-Fi audio systems, music streaming setups, and media centers. The board features stereo RCA (phono) outputs that allow direct connection to external amplifiers or powered speakers. It also includes a built-in headphone amplifier with a 3.5mm audio jack, enabling users to connect headphones directly without requiring additional hardware. Designed for simplicity, the DAC+ connects directly to the Raspberry Pi via the 40-pin GPIO header and is powered entirely by the board itself. This eliminates the need for external power supplies or extra cables, resulting in a clean and efficient setup. The HAT includes onboard EEPROM, allowing automatic detection and configuration by the Raspberry Pi operating system. This plug-and-play functionality makes installation quick and easy, even for beginners. Additionally, the board includes a pass-through GPIO header, allowing stacking of other compatible HATs if required. Its compact form factor and robust design make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including DIY audio projects, home theater systems, multi-room audio setups, and embedded audio solutions. The Raspberry Pi IQaudio DAC+ is an ideal solution for users looking to significantly enhance the audio output quality of their Raspberry Pi while maintaining ease of use and reliability.
