Audio DAC Hat Sound Card (Pi Audio Drive) for Raspberry PI4 All Models Pi Zero / Pi3 / Pi3B / Pi3B+ / Pi2 / Better Quality Than USB

Fantastic value for money. You do have to solder the header socket on yourself, which must be how they keep costs down as everything else appears to be surface mount / reflow soldered.The sound quality is very good. Subjective quality tests where done with my reasonably high end system, comprising Musical Fidelity DAC / preamp, Audiolab amplifier and JBL Studio Monitors fed by a RPi2 with HifiBerry Digi+ and also a Marantz CD player. To my ears this card produces a slightly 'softer' sound with a little less precise rendering of leading edges of notes and some of the highest frequencies seem harder to pick out. Again, one must not lose sight of the fact that this card is only £9 pounds. Connect this to a pair of amplified speakers and install Volumio or MoOdE audio on your RPi and you have can have a great little multi-room audio system for minimal outlay.The card causes the speakers to thump a little when powering on a RPi3 / Volumio build. No RCA sockets, only 3.5mm jack socket so look elsewhere if you must have that or you can solder your own on. These are minor niggles and overall this is a great product at a very attractive price point.

I needed an audio DAC for my raspberry pi zero Internet radio project to add an audio output. The audio output volume is loud but not saturated, I tested with a flac file and the sound is great. The build quality is simple and seem robust. Installation is explained in the product description, it is just one command to type in. This one is the best bang for bucks I found on Amazon, I recommend it. To my opinion it make no sense to buy a more expensive audio card for a low cost raspberry pi.Ps: I also tested the Dac on my raspberry pi 3 and it works the same

I try to use this in a raspberry project. And so mean, depends of you want to do can works well... the setup is ok and easy, just a little time and it’s done. Otherwise everything is different if you want to do something more specially, if your intention is do something different for Google Assistant or Alexa Pi will stay difficult because the docs focus a lot in that and at same point I start to get lost because the configuration for other assistants are different and the board start hiding the project... in the end, after lost some hours trying to put the project in the Alexa model because of the board I just give up and bought a microphone and a speaker. But if you want a simple project with Alexa Pi or Google Assistant the board works well and have informations!

Great little Audio Hat for the Raspberry Pi - get your soldering iron out if you buy this but reap the rewards as it's good for its price. Two phono outs feeding my Hifi here and sounding lovely!Doesn't work with RuneAudio but performing fine with Volumio as a 'Generic I2S DAC' for me.Scarce info on the product website - info on the reviews here helped more!Cheap and cheerful and works!

I just couldn't get this to work with a Raspberry Pi 4 B running latest Raspbian, tried all sorts, but either the Pi completely failed to boot with this fitted, or no sound... I've given 3 stars for benefit of doubt as it might be something I've misunderstood, and plenty of others have had success but I'd urge caution if you're a new user and running a Pi 4 - a HifiBerry DAC+ isn't much more expensive in the grand scheme of things, and I had immediate success with one of those...

Bought this to use with snips satellite. Unlike the seeed studio 2-mic respeaker hat, this one has a speaker, and was easier and faster to setup.I am really satisfied with the purchase.I have reused the hat for volumio, and it has been a great investment

The raw Raspberry Pi is not very good a sound and has no real music player. Enter the Audio DAC HAT.It fits the Pi perfectly. Has an extension to the Pins it plugs into allowing additional use of the Pins.Was very easy to set with very clear instructions on the website.All I need to do now is to find a case that takes the Pi, this audio hat and the 7inch touchscreen and I have a brilliant mobile device.Well done, Great product

I waited eagerly for this to arrive in order to scare some people for Halloween. I tried to download the custom image but failed to unzip it using standard tools. The alternative says: 'just use the standard Raspian and install sox'. And then what???I found some other instructions on the website which had links to some other code. The wget function hung each time as 443 couldn't be resolved (SSL problems with the website hosting I guess). Eventually, I got the code and when running the 'test' program, only the right speaker worked initially. At one point, as if by magic, the left speaker worked as well. Now, neither works. I have reinstalled the software a few times, etc. Nothing - just dead.Even if it was working, I wouldn't know how to use it properly with the microphone as there is no sufficient documentation or sample programs to work from. Hence...Stay away. It's too expensive for 10 secs of fun.

Driver support was easy and the hat sounds great. Additional benefit of powering the pi 3b+ using usb-c. 100w brick powering it all and loud with 60w speakers. Works great. A little wonky in size when using with a non-zero pi, but it all talks nice to the pi. Updated usb port is really nice.

Köptes till bare-metal projekt på MiniDexed. Kortet funkar som HAT men jag har svårt att få korrekt information om hur det skulle kopplas på breadboard. Det slutade med att jag skickade tillbaka det och köpte Raspberrys egna DAC.

Sur un pizero2 avec Squeezelite et LMS coté serveur, ça fonctionne très bien.Config du fichier boot, tout ok du premier coup.Sans réglages, le son m'a semblé correct. A voir après optimisation

Funcionó perfectamente para el proyecto que tenía

Raspiaudio Audio+ v2 (PCM5102A). Zainstalowana na Pi 3 A+, działa z marszu pod Moodeaudio (jako HiFiBerry DAC), nie koliduje z WiFi, nie szumi ani nie trzeszczy, gra dobrze. Za te pieniądze - super.
