The Raspberry Pi DAC+ is a high-performance audio HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) specifically designed to enhance the audio output capabilities of any Raspberry Pi model equipped with a 40-pin GPIO header. By integrating a high-definition audio codec from Texas Instruments, the DAC+ delivers exceptional sound quality for a variety of audio applications, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles, makers, and hobbyists alike.
At the heart of the DAC+ is the Texas Instruments PCM5122, a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that supports full high-definition audio output. With capabilities of 24-bit resolution and sample rates up to 192kHz, the DAC+ ensures crystal-clear sound reproduction, making it suitable for high-fidelity audio playback. Whether you’re streaming music, playing high-quality recordings, or working on sound design projects, the DAC+ delivers the quality and performance you need.
Audio Output
The DAC+ provides analogue audio output through stereo RCA connectors, delivering a variable output range of 0–2V RMS. This output can easily connect to existing audio equipment, including amplifiers, hi-fi systems, or powered speakers. Additionally, a dedicated headphone amplifier outputs audio through a 3.5mm jack, ensuring high-quality sound for personal listening.
