This dedicated DAC lets you enjoy high-quality, distortion-free, artifact-free, low noise, and high-bitrate audio playback from your Raspberry Pi single-board computer. A DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) is a device that takes digital audio (like an MP3 or WAV files) and converts it into an analog audio signal that can be readily understood by headphones or external speakers. A HAT is an anagram for Hardware Attached on Top, it refers to boards that easily plug directly on top of and improve the capabilities of the target board. A Stock Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer has Audio Output that comes out through the Headphone Auxiliary Port or through any of the HDMI Ports (which are visual and audio interfaces). This is perfectly fine for everyday use. However, if you are building a slim device that can deliver immersive media to high-quality speakers or headphones then these two default audio outputs are not up to scratch. That is where the IQaudio DAC+ HAT swoops in for the rescue. The IQaudio DAC boards (there's more than one type!) are the simplest and Raspberry Pi Foundation Officially Supported way to add crispy, refined, honey-dripped audio to any Pi project. In combination with Volumio, an open-source Audiophile Media Player OS, you can be up and running with a high-quality music playback system really quickly. Volumio officially supports the Official 7 Inch Raspberry Pi Screen, providing a great UI. It also provides remote control through the WIFI and Volumio Phone Application. Long live Zyzz. If you just want to use Raspberry Pi OS with your IQaudio DAC HAT the configuration will be explored here too.
