Name: HiFi DAC HAT for Raspberry Pi
SKU: 963
Availability: InStock

HIFi DAC HAT integrates TI’s professional-grade audio decoding chip PCM5122 and adopts the I2S interface standard to create a complete Raspberry Pi-based hardware audio decoding system. It supports powerful playback software such as Volumio, MoodeAudio, and OSMC, making it the ideal choice for quickly building a Raspberry Pi HiFi system!

This product is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B, 3A+, 2B, and Zero series, as well as future Raspberry Pi models that comply with the same standard. For optimal usability, we recommend using it with a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Wi-Fi module.

Features

Professional-Grade Audio Decoding
Equipped with TI’s PCM5122 DAC chip, supporting up to 32-bit/384kHz sampling rate, 112dB dynamic range, and -93dB THD+N for pristine audio quality.
Ultra-Low Noise Power Design
Utilizes low-noise voltage regulation and ferrite bead isolation to eliminate ground loop interference, ensuring a hiss-free listening experience.
Flexible Output Options
- 3.5mm headphone jack for direct headphone use.
- Pre-soldered RCA jack for easy connection to amplifiers and speaker systems.
Direct I2S Interface (Not USB DAC)
Plugs directly into the Raspberry Pi via I2S bus, bypassing USB for lower latency and higher fidelity digital-to-analog conversion.
DAC Status Indicator
Built-in LED shows real-time decoding status—on when active, off when idle—for easy monitoring.
Modular GPIO Pin Headers
- Supports both long and short pin headers for flexible installation.
- Allows stacking with other HATs or connecting via jumper wires for expanded functionality.
Premium Components & Build Quality
- High-end imported components ensure durability and performance.
- Gold-plated PCB with optimized trace routing for consistent impedance and minimal signal reflection.
Raspberry Pi HAT Compatibility
Fully complies with official Pi HAT specifications, ensuring seamless fit with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B/3A+/2B/Zero and future models.
