Product Description
🎶 Experience True Hi-Fi Sound on Your Raspberry Pi
Standard Raspberry Pi boards suffer from audio jitter due to inaccurate I²S clock signals, especially affecting 44.1 kHz sample-rate audio files.
This RPI HiFi DAC Hat completely resolves the issue using I²S Master Mode, where the DAC chip—not the Pi—controls the clock.
With two independent low-jitter crystal oscillators, the PCM5122 DAC achieves exceptional timing accuracy, ensuring stable, synchronized, and high-purity audio output.
