Introduction:
- This is a DIY I2S DAC HAT for Raspberry Pi. Without the need for USB / COAXIAL / TOSLINK signal conversion, this DAC is driven by the I2S signal pins from Raspberry Pi directly, simple yet effective.
- TDA1387 is a 16-bit multibit DAC. Although this DAC was introduced in the 90’s but the sound quality can beat most of the modern DAC with proper design.
- The components of this DAC HAT are carefully selected and of high quality. With proper power supply, this DAC HAT sounds warm, transparent, musical, rich, detailed, relaxed, and analogue. The bass response is surprisingly deep and punchy.
- This DAC HAT can work with Raspberry Pi alone and is natively compatible with STEALTH V3. LPS is recommended when used with Raspberry Pi alone.
- Select HifiBerry as the output device under the device setting.
Changes of ProtoDAC V2:
- Power filtering changed from LC to CLC
- Upgraded to Nichicon MUSE caps
- Upgraded RCA sockets
- Smaller PCB footprint
Specification:
-Accepts 16/24/32 bits*, 44.1kHz ~ 384kHz
-Output Level: 2Vpp
*Only the most significant 16bits are processed, other bits are truncated.
