Raspberry Pi DAC Pro

Experience professional-grade audio with the Raspberry Pi DAC Pro, the highest-fidelity audio HAT in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. Designed for audiophiles, sound engineers, and multimedia developers, the DAC Pro delivers premium 24-bit/192kHz sound quality through its Texas Instruments PCM5242 DAC — making it the ultimate audio add-on for any Raspberry Pi computer with a 40-pin GPIO header.

Whether you're building a hi-fi streaming system, developing media applications, or simply upgrading your Raspberry Pi's sound capabilities, the DAC Pro provides exceptional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and supports both balanced (differential) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs. It even features a dedicated headphone amplifier for private listening without compromise.
