The HiFiBerry DAC+ is a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and the A+ / B+ Models. This is a special sound card for the Raspberry Pi, that is optimized for one specific use case: the best audio playback quality.
This is the Standard RCA version which uses RCA connectors that you know from your normal stereo equipment. The HiFiBerry, like all Pi HATs, sits right on top of your Pi’s GPIO pins with no additional cables needed and integrated EEPROM for automatic configuration.
Features:
Dedicated 192kHz/24bit high-quality Burr-Brown DAC for best sound quality
Hardware volume control. You can control the output volume using “alsamixer” or any application that supports ALSA mixer controls
Directly powered from the Raspberry Pi, no additional power supply
Ultra-low-noise voltage regulator for optimal audio performance
x4 M2.5x12mm spacers to fix the board onto the Raspberry Pi.
This board is ONLY compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and the Pi Models A+ and B+! While we haven’t tested it with the Pi Zero, it likely works with it!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
