Product description: Raspberry Pi DAC Pro - IQaudIO sound card for Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi DAC Pro is based on the Burr-Brown PCM5242 32-bit/384 kHz DAC, capable of playing Full HD 24-bit/192 kHz audio. The PCM5242 is the bigger brother of the PCM5122, which is used in the IQaudIO DAC+ , providing balanced output, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and THD. The module is equipped with two RCA connectors, a mini jack connector, and supports balanced/differential XLR output . The communication shield uses the I2S interface to reduce the load on the Raspberry Pi processor. The iQaudIO has been acquired by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, providing ongoing support for Raspberry Pi users.
IQaudIO DAC Pro Shield for Raspberry Pi.The sale includes the shield, the Raspberry Pi minicomputer can be purchased separately.
The DAC Pro is equipped with a headphone amplifier, with software volume control and shared with the line output. A goldpin XLR connector allows for connection to studio equipment or speakers powered by a longer cable.
The board has soldered goldpin pins, allowing you to connect additional accessories to the Raspberry Pi GPIO.
The drivers required for the sound card to work properly are built into Linux, including Raspberry Pi OS.
