It uses the Texas Instruments PCM5122 DAC to deliver stereo analogue audio to a pair of phono connectors, and also supports a dedicated headphone amplifier. ## Pricing - **Price:** $31.40 (inc GST) — $28.55 AUD, exc GST ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 151 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07561:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE07561:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The Pi is an ideal candidate for streaming high-definition audio straight to your HiFi system or headphones, with one critical flaw, the Pi doesn't have a proper DAC! This HAT well and truly fixes that, with a low-noise DAC IC from TI, and the outputs you need to connect to your analog system. This is Raspberry Pi's mid-range DAC board, boasting solid components, outputs, and layout, sitting below their top-tier [DAC Pro HAT](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-dac-pro.html) If you're looking to wrap all this up in a snazzy case, the [HighPi Pro](https://core-electronics.com.au/highpi-pro-case-for-iqaudio-dac-and-raspberry-pi-4.html) case fits around a Pi and this HAT like a glove (other cases have trouble with this HAT) **Features** - Utilises the Texas Instruments PCM5122 DAC to deliver great low-noise stereo audio through two possible outputs: - RCA Line-level outputs - Dedicated amplified 3.5mm headphone port - Pre-programmed EEPROM for plug-and-play recognition by a Raspberry Pi - Good software support with and [Volumio, ](https://volumio.com/en/)[Max2Play, ](https://www.max2play.com/en/)and [Roon](https://roonlabs.com/) **Specifications** - Based on [TI’s PCM5122 DAC IC](https://www.ti.com/product/PCM5122) - Uses the following pins on your Pi's 40-Pin header: - All power pins - All ground pins - GPIO 2/3 for I2C - GPIO 18/19/20/21 for I2S - Outputs to the pins as follows: - ![Table showing output pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/CE07561-Table.jpg) **Dimensions** - 65x57x25 mm standalone - Around 65x57x31 mm stacked on a Pi **What's in the Box** - 1x Raspberry Pi DAC+ - 4x 9mm M2.5 standoffs - 8x M2.5 screws **Documents and Resources** - [Product Brief](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/iqaudio-product-brief.pdf) - [Volumio Quick Start Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/Quick-Start-Guide-Volumio_24684441cc2.pdf) - [RoPieee, a ready-to-rock image for Roon on a Pi](https://ropieee.org/) **Changelog** This product was renamed from IQaudio DAC+ to Raspberry Pi DAC+ in November 2022, a firmware update may be required for the newest revision of the hardware. The full change notice is [available here](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/DAC-rebranding.pdf). ## Guides for this product - [Raspberry Pi and the IQaudio DAC+ \| Volumio and Raspberry Pi OS \| Hi-Fi on a Ras-Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-iqaudio-dac-plus-fix/) ## Videos for this product - [Raspberry Pi and the IQaudio DAC+ \| Volumio and Raspberry Pi OS](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/raspberry-pi-and-the-iqaudio-dac-volumio-and-raspberry-pi-os) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/d/a/dac_1.jpg)
