HiFiBerry DAC2 HD - gold RCA

HifiBerry DAC2 HD, the high-end digital-to-analog converter for Raspberry-Pi

The HiFiBerry DAC2 HD is made for demanding audiophiles, this is the high-end DAC for the Raspberry Pi HAT for High Definition audio output.

Simply plug it onto your Raspberry Pi, without any soldering, and start listening music.

With this HiFiBerry board, you have a DAC with the following features

• Stereo output with Gold plated RCA connectors
• Max Output Voltage: 2.1 V(rms)
• Burr-Brown high-quality DAC upt to 192kHz/24bit
• Custom current-to-voltage output stage with high-end filtering
• Four ultra-low-noise linear voltage regulators for optimal audio performance
• Low-jitter clock for optimised clock performance (independent from Raspberry Pi clock sources)
• DAC with hardware volume control for DAC.
  Can be controlled from "alsamixer" or any apps supporting ALSA mixer.
• Connector for optionnal HiFiBerry DSP add-on module
• Plug on the Raspberry Pi GPIO (no additional cables needed, no soldering)
• Compatible with all Raspberry Pi having a 40-pin GPIO connector (so all recent Pis)
• Powered from the Raspberry Pi (no additional PSU needed)
• HAT compliant: EEPROM for automatic configuration

Please note

• that the actual board might look a bit different. Layout and components might change without further notice. HifiBerry do not guarantee a specific PCB layout or specific components.
• This board requires Linux Kernel 4.19.97 see this HifiBerry tutorial to upgrade your older Pi's.

Content

For each order, you will receive the HifiBerry DAC2 HD board (assembled and tested) and 4 M2.5x12mm spacers to fix the board onto the Raspberry Pi

Configuration

For older Pi, ensure that you have at least a 4.19.97 Linux kernel (see this HifiBerry tutorial to upgrade your older Pi's).

To activate your board, you must activate the dacplushd overlay in your config.txt file and add the following line to active it.
