Raspberry Pi DAC Pro
The Raspberry Pi DAC Pro is our highest-fidelity audio HAT, and is compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer that has a 40-pin GPIO header. With the Texas Instruments PCM5242, the DAC Pro provides an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and supports balanced/differential output in parallel to phono/RCA line-level output. It also includes a dedicated headphone amplifier. Previously known as IQaudio DAC Pro.
