pHAT DAC

by Pimoroni

If music be the food of love, play on. But make sure you use this super little DAC to get the best out of your Raspberry Pi audio!

This pHAT provides a super affordable high-quality DAC for your Raspberry Pi. It pumps out 24-bits at 192KHz from the Raspberry Pi's I2S interface on its 2x20 pin GPIO header.

Use pHAT DAC to build a tiny, lush-sounding streaming music device, or use it with Scroll pHAT to make a beautiful spectrum analyser!

Features

  • 24-bit audio at 192KHz
  • Line out stereo jack
  • Optional landing for dual RCA phono connector
  • PCM5102A DAC over the Raspberry Pi's I2S interface
  • pHAT DAC pinout
  • Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models
  • Female header requires soldering 

Software

pHAT DAC doesn't require a Python library like most of our other HATs and pHATs, but does require configuration to work properly. We've put together a slick one-line installer to get everything set up just right. See the tutorial here for more details.

Notes

The kit has a 3.5mm stereo jack pre-assembled but doesn't include a dual RCA phono connector. If you need one then grab it here.
N.B. Pi, micro SD card and Pibow case not included.

When you are dealing with a display-less Pi, make the things really easy to start/stop scripts/programs with a touch responsive button. I also love it that when the button is pressed it will blink it's LED

This is a great pHAT, one of my favorites. I have one just for controlling Kodi and another on a Mini Black HAT Hack3r with a Scroll pHAT HD for displaying stats of all my other Raspberrys. Very useful, very easy to code and affordable, just perfect! Keep up the good work Pimoroni!

I originally got this to make a status system for the car that i could use to email when i was leaving and arrived at a destination but after playing with it thought it would actually make a great robot controller.
