Product details
Description
The InnoMaker Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC HAT is a premium audio expansion board engineered to transform your Raspberry Pi into a high-fidelity, studio-grade music player. Designed specifically for audiophiles and DIY developers, this module addresses common digital audio issues like clock jitter by operating in I2S master mode. Instead of the Raspberry Pi controlling the audio clock, the onboard Texas Instruments PCM5122 DAC chip independently drives the clocks while the Pi delivers the pure data stream, resulting in ultra-clean audio performance.
Featuring advanced engineering, the board separates and filters power across three distinct channels dedicated to the digital stage, analog stage, and clock units. It utilizes high-end low-dropout regulators alongside two ultra-low-jitter oscillators to maintain exceptional signal integrity. The analog stage replaces common ceramic components with premium film capacitors to ensure a quiet direct current background. Equipped with dual gold-plated RCA outputs and an integrated 138 milliwatt headphone amplifier, this expansion board directly drives headphones and studio monitors with incredible clarity. It is perfect for setting up dedicated media centers using popular operating systems like Volumio, Moode, or RuneAudio.
How to use
- Align the 40-pin female header of the DAC HAT over your Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and press down firmly to secure the connection.
- Connect your speakers via the gold-plated RCA jacks or plug your headphones into the 3.5 millimeter jack.
- Flash your preferred audiophile operating system like Volumio onto a Micro SD card, insert it into the Pi, and power on the system.
- Access the software settings page via your network browser and select the PCM5122 or InnoMaker driver options as your primary audio output device.
