Unlock True Hi-Fi Audio from Your Raspberry Pi
The InnoMaker HiFi DAC Pro Hat brings studio-quality audio to your Raspberry Pi. Featuring the acclaimed ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip, it supports high-resolution playback up to 384kHz/32bit PCM and DSD512, delivering a 129dB dynamic range and -120dB THD+N. Its independent dual clock design minimizes jitter for pristine sound accuracy, while three Texas Instruments op-amps provide a robust 2.1Vrms output via 3.5mm and balanced connectors.
This HAT is designed for seamless integration. It mounts directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header of Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, 3B, and Zero models without requiring soldering or extra cables. It's fully compatible with popular audio distributions like Volumio, Moode Audio, RuneAudio, LibreELEC, and Raspbian, making setup straightforward for audiophiles and tech enthusiasts alike.
Experience superior sound clarity and detail for your music server or headphone amplifier projects. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, with delivery via ExpressBox tracked shipping within 16-18 days. This imported component offers a significant upgrade over standard Raspberry Pi audio outputs.
Reference Audio Quality for Your Pi
The InnoMaker HiFi DAC Pro Hat integrates the ESS ES9038Q2M, a converter renowned in high-end audio, into the accessible Raspberry Pi platform. This board offers a significant leap in audio fidelity, providing a dynamic range of 129dB and ultra-low distortion (-120dB THD+N). Its independent dual-clock design ensures precise timing, crucial for accurate soundstage and detail retrieval, outperforming standard Pi audio outputs. This imported component is ideal for audiophiles seeking professional-grade sound from their DIY music servers or streaming projects.
Ideal for Audiophiles, Not for Basic Audio
This HAT is designed for users prioritizing high-resolution audio quality, DSD512 playback, and balanced outputs for demanding headphones or professional audio equipment. It requires a Raspberry Pi (5/4/3B+/3B/Zero) and compatible audio software like Volumio or Moode. If you only need basic audio output for simple tasks or do not plan to use high-fidelity audio software, a standard sound card or the Pi's built-in audio may suffice. This is a specialized component for serious audio enthusiasts.
