Audio DAC Hat Sound Card (Audio+V3) for Raspberry PI5 / PI4 / Pi Zero / PI3 / PI3B / PI3B+ / Better Quality Than USB

Worked great on my Minidexed build. Amazing sound.

The RaspiAudio Audio DAC Hat is a good choice if you’re looking to add mic and audio in small package to your Raspberry Pi projects. I used it to make a voice assistant with my Raspberry Pi 3, and it worked pretty well overall. Getting it set up was fairly easy their website had directions for installing the drivers using the command line. The speaker quality is just okay, but I wasn’t expecting much from it. The mic quality is pretty good. It picks up voice clearly and works perfectly for voice commands, which is what I needed it for. All in all, it’s a nice little addition for Raspberry Pi projects if you’re not super picky about sound quality. Works great for functional stuff like voice assistants. Rating: 4/5

This board works but it has a light crackle when no audio is present. My board may be defective. After several emails to the seller/mfg'r, various troubleshooting efforts were made to eliminate the static. The suggestions I received were either a bad connection on the socket (faulty ground) or a problem with the amplifier/audio system or noise generated by the Pi-Zero. The crackling only appeared when the power is on and no audio was being sent to the board. When my music player Volumio is idle, not playing music, the amplifier plugged into this board would receive a light crackle. Once the music started, the crackling stopped but would return after the music ended. The crackle wasn't present when the player was playing a silent MP3 file or when the volume on Volumio was turned to "0". It's worth noting that the static only occurred when playing through an amplifier, either my audio receiver or amplified speakers, and it occurred regardless of which Raspberry Pi it was attached to or what apps were running on the Pi (it started when it was simply turned on, before the Pi has loaded the OS). I tried running the output through two 1:1 audio isolation transformers and still received the crackling. I finally resigned myself to having the crackle on this board forever and have decided not to use it when building my Volumio player. My player build is currently on hold due to other projects but I haven't decided on the audio for the project yet anyway.

I built a second Volumio-based player/streamer with a 7" touchscreen and used this DAC for simplicity. Although I'm an audio snob, I did not want to spend $$ on a Pi2AES for a backyard system, nor have I found a good I2S hat with optical output. I haven't soldered the RCA connectors on, as the 3.5mm output works great going into an AVR. After setting Volumio to output to 'raspiaudio' via I2S, the hat was recognized immediately and sounds just fine for these purposes. I'll buy another the next time I make another streamer.

Buy something better. Mine broke in 5 days. It is not durable at all. The clip that you plug audio cable into is cheap plastic and not attached to the board. I am returning and buying a better one.

Easy to set up with raspberry pi 4 and volumio. Just plug and play. The sound quality are perfect. Amazing litle thing.

Driver support was easy and the hat sounds great. Additional benefit of powering the pi 3b+ using usb-c. 100w brick powering it all and loud with 60w speakers. Works great. A little wonky in size when using with a non-zero pi, but it all talks nice to the pi. Updated usb port is really nice.

So you can't go wrong trying this out for just $15. I had an old logitech squeezebox go bad and needed a replacement. I already run 3 other picore players, but wanted something in this location that could try running two instances of squeezelite on one pi. So I needed two ways to get quality audio out and this fit the bill. Soldered it up in no time, and just selected "Hifiberry DAC +Light" in picore player and didn't even have to run the script they ask you to run. The first attempt of a different Hifiberry setting failed to load, but I found that by looking in /var/log/ on the pi. Audio sounds great. I can't tell any difference. I use these with Topping TP21 and TP30. The 30 has a usb direct input from the pi, but since I already had the TP21 I needed this RCA output as well for the second instance of squeezelite running on the same pi. Love it!

Eine wunderbare Ergänzung für meine Heimsteuerung, nachdem die meisten USB-Mikrofone sich als untauglich erwiesen haben. Tolle Idee mit dem abnehmbaren Mikrofon, lässt sich sehr einfach lösen und damit verlegen, falls man mit Gehäusen arbeitet. Die Installation auf einem Raspberry Pi 3b verlief ohne Probleme mithilfe der Beschreibung auf dem pinout Diagramm. Leider hatte ich ein Problem, meinen Funksender, der vorher auf den GPIOs war, mit dem HAT zum Laufen zu kriegen. Es wollte einfach nicht. Also habe ich kurzerhand den Hersteller angeschrieben. Der hat innerhalb von 10 Minuten(!!) geantwortet und sich mein Problem genauer schildern lassen. Mit seiner Hilfe konnte ich das Problem lösen und somit kann ich nun die Stimmerkennung laufen lassen UND meine Funksteckdosen steuern :P Ich werd mir vermutlich noch mehr von diesen HATs holen, unbedingt zu Empfehlen.

Für den Preis einfach top. Kurz Pin-Leiste dran gelötet. Treiber und Software wie in der Online-Anleitung beschrieben geladen und Soundtest erfolgreich. Kein Rauschen oder sonstige Störungen über den analogen Port. Auf den ersten Blick bzw. Hör besser als meine USB-Soundkarte. In 10 Min war alles am Laufen. Nutze den PiZeroW als SqueezeClient mit Squeezelite. UPDATE: Auch der zweite Audio DAC funktioniert tadellos am Pi Zero W. TOP.

Arrived on time as advertised. This little item is an awesome add on for a Rpi Zero that I used for my first project.

Shield compatto e funzionale. Si configura rapidamente e fornisce un suono stereo ottimo

bon produit, facile d'installation après mise à jour des pilotes et configuration adaptée . rendu sonore plus que satisfaisant . un bémol, le module consomme quand on monte la "puissance". d'où l'apparition de la petite flèche jaune ou du message correspondant . donc prévoir une alim efficace .
