Independent power supply and compatibility An isolated power supply design separates the Raspberry Pi performance from the DAC circuitry, and the unit is sized to fit a Raspberry Pi HAT with gold coating to ensure signal integrity. Negative charge pump for lower noise Built in negative charge pump provides DC blocking and helps suppress noise for clearer audio output. ARC wire design and infrared receiver ARC wire design reduces signal reflection for more stable signal transfer, and an infrared receiver interface is included for convenient remote control integration. PCM5122 DAC for high end sound Uses the PCM5122 chip to deliver superior sound quality, with support for 16 to 32 bit data formats, making it suitable for demanding enthusiasts. 2-3 practical use scenarios - Build a compact Raspberry Pi based music streamer or digital audio output in a home audio setup, achieving higher fidelity than standard Pi audio. - Upgrade an existing Raspberry Pi HAT audio project in a home theater or media center to reduce noise and improve signal integrity, resulting in clearer dialogue and music. - Create a high resolution audio interface for DIY audio experiments, leveraging 16 to 32 bit data formats and PCM5122 performance.
