JustBoom DAC Zero pHAT

Description

The JustBoom DAC Zero pHAT is a plug and play, high resolution, digital-to-analog converter for the Raspberry

Pi and is by far the easiest and neatest way to add an audio output to your Raspberry Pi Zero. The JustBoom

DAC Zero pHAT has been designed with a super-compact form factor matching that of the Raspberry Pi Zero

but still features a considerable amount of functionality. It will work with any version of the Raspberry Pi, but

with the larger versions we recommend its bigger sibling the JustBoom DAC HAT.

We've designed the JustBoom DAC Zero pHAT to be simple to install and use. With no soldering required and all

the mounting hardware already provided for you this product is suitable for absolute beginners and seasoned

professionals alike. Just connect your DAC Zero pHAT to a set of powered speakers, headphones or an audio

amplifier and you can be up and running quickly, enjoying flawless high quality audio playback within minutes of

setting up this Raspberry Pi pHAT.

We also include an optional IR receiver to allow remote control operation of your Raspberry Pi. Includes a

384kHz/32 bit DAC chip with hardware volume mixing as well as a 25mW headphone amplifier. Outputs are line

level over 3.5mm jack cable and headphone amplified over 3.5mm jack cable (both stereo). There is an option for

users to add line-level, stereo RCA jacks to the board as well as a playback LED should you need them. The pHAT

uses the I2S interface for its audio input which reduces CPU load on the Pi Zero compared to USB solutions. It is

also powered directly from the GPIO header so no extra cables or power supplies are required to connect to the

Raspberry Pi.
