I’m pleased to announce the new I2S Digital AMP for use with the RaspberryPi - The IQaudIO Pi-DigiAMP+
The Pi-DigiAMP+ builds upon our awesome Pi-DAC+ and Pi-AMP+ products, and using the latest TI devices delivers the first Full-HD audio capable solution for the Raspberry Pi to HAT specification (EEPROM). All at a great cost saving over the previous separate Pi-DAC+ and Pi-AMP+ solution.
Features:
Full-HD 192/24b with 2x20w with 15v DC supply
Uses standard IQaudIO Pi-DAC drivers and GPIO22 mute.
Available now on tindie.com and via our international distributors.
Just add speakers!
The Pi-DigiAMP+ can be seen in the attached pictures within a HiFi project case using external power supply and rotary encoder for volume. This was demo’d at this month’s CamJam driving our favourite QAcoustics 2010i speakers.
The Pi-DigiAMP+ is not only suitable as a complete streaming HiFi solution but for in ceiling / behind wall speaker installations, retro radio rebuilds, in-car, boombox builds, kiosk etc.
At the same time we have re-released the IQaudIO Pi-DAC+, still with the brilliant audio and build quality, but now with IR sensor and rotary encoder headers. The IR sensor header is designed to take a standard Vishay tsop IR sensor.
How about this one? Personally this layout really makes sense, locating the phono/RCA outputs on the same side as the USB/ethernet as it lends itself to fitting in a standard shaped case. You could actually insert it in a nice aluminium enclosure and have some matching alumnium faceplates made. Why aren’t more of the boards like this?
Hi all,
Here is one DAC for someone who can solder SMD parts
Using PCM5122 DAC,I’ve just share the Board on OSHPark (6.95USD for 3 PCB) oshpark.com/shared_projects/MmVdE7fl
This is interesting… do you mind sharing the final schematic you ended up using? I saw some application circuits on the PCM5122 datasheet but wasnt sure which one you used?
Hey hello. I’ve been reading a lot in this post. up and down, up and down. Initially to try to make a good choice DAC wise, but soon came to the conclusion that my first choice would need to be which chip. I tried to open a discussion on this bt so far no go, as you comment to be a serious listener, I thought you could might give some idea’s on the benefits of the major chips. notice you likeing and disliking some here but without any mentioned foundation. personally i kinda feel like i’d be more happy with a sabre es9023 vs the pcm5122 but i really have no basis for this decision. As the two most appealing (to me, just by reading, and one would need to listen) DAC’s both use the pcm5122 (hifiberry dac+ pro and iqaudio pi-dac+) while the dac+ light uses the sabre… so am i wrong as this seems to me an opposite choice. But then again everybody loves the dr dre headphones which i hate. sound is personal isn’t it. So to be clear, i’m not asking you to detemine which to buy, there is no way you could, but just some sharing of personal experience and why…
