Pushing Innomaker DAC Pro to DSD1024 on RPi5
Just wanted to share my feedback on this brilliant piece of hardware — I’ve already picked up two of them ![]()
They’re both powered independently via LPS, deliberately bypassing the RPi5’s 5V rail to maintain a pristine signal path.
Running Volumio V4.015, and with a few surgical tweaks to /boot/userconfig.txt, I’m now streaming up to DSD1024 DoP (PCM) via I²S. It’s rock solid!
