The Raspberry Pi DAC+ is an audio output HAT for all generations of Raspberry Pi from Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ onwards, and supports 24‑bit 192kHz high-resolution digital audio. 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.

## 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/)
