Raspberry Pi DAC+

Raspberry Pi DAC+ – High-Performance Audio for Raspberry Pi

Experience crystal-clear audio with the Raspberry Pi DAC+, a high-fidelity digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) designed to bring premium sound quality to your Raspberry Pi projects. Powered by the Texas Instruments PCM5122 DAC, this audio HAT delivers 24-bit/192kHz stereo audio output via gold-plated RCA (phono) connectors — perfect for audiophile-grade applications, media centers, or sound-based projects.

Previously known as the IQaudio DAC+, this official Raspberry Pi accessory is compatible with any Raspberry Pi model that features a 40-pin GPIO header. It connects directly to the Pi with no soldering, no external power, and no extra cables required.

Whether you're building a high-end Raspberry Pi audio system, streaming setup, or want better sound from your Pi-powered project, the DAC+ offers plug-and-play performance with pro-grade audio fidelity.
