The HiFiBerry DAC+ is an outstanding high - resolution digital - to - analog converter tailored for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, A+ / B+ Models, and it also works with the Pi 3! This special sound card for the Raspberry Pi is optimized to deliver the best audio playback quality. It comes in the Standard RCA version, using the familiar RCA connectors from your regular stereo equipment. Like all Pi HATs, it easily sits on top of your Pi's GPIO pins without extra cables and has an integrated EEPROM for automatic setup. Key features include a dedicated 192kHz/24bit high - quality Burr - Brown DAC for amazing sound, hardware volume control that can be adjusted via 'alsamixer' or ALSA - supporting apps, direct power from the Raspberry Pi (no extra power supply needed), an ultra - low - noise voltage regulator for top - notch audio performance, and four M2.5x12mm spacers to secure the board to the Pi. Note that this board is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Pi 3 Model B, and Pi Models A+ and B+. It might also work with the Pi Zero, though we haven't tested it.
Using the HiFiBerry DAC+ is easy. First, place it right on top of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. Since it has an integrated EEPROM, it will configure itself automatically. There's no need to connect any additional cables. To control the volume, you can use 'alsamixer' or any app that supports ALSA mixer controls. When it comes to power, it gets everything it needs directly from the Raspberry Pi, so you don't have to worry about an extra power supply. Keep in mind that this board is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Pi 3 Model B, and Pi Models A+ and B+. While it might work with the Pi Zero, we can't guarantee it as we haven't tested it. For maintenance, keep the board clean and away from dust. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it if needed. Also, make sure to handle it carefully to avoid any physical damage to the components.
