Used on RP3b, RP4 and RP5. Used with power conditioner and without. A tad better with conditioner. Works flawlessly with Moodeaudio ### ⭐⭐⭐ Ok *by A***C on 28 October 2025* Good...Ok.... 3.5 mm output only working. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 音質は大変良いです。 *by S***N on 13 August 2026* raspi5とのi2s接続で、音は大変良いと思いました。電源は以前に作製した自作の5V-3Aの安定化電源を使っています（トランス使用。当初、RASPI 5に慣れない間は電圧低下の問題もありましたが現在は問題無く使えてます）。これと、中古で購入した ifi DAC Signature （raspi usb出力）と比較してみましたが、あまり差を感じられませんでした。しかし、現在は、なんとなく良かったifi の方を使っています（これも自作電源）。ただ、このDACの難点はGPIOの抜き差しが以上に固く、基板が壊れないかと思うくらいの力が必要なことです。注意してください。 ## Frequently Bought Together - Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC Pro Hat ES9038Q2M Audio Card PCM DSD Lossless High Resolution Digital-to-Analog Converter Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 4 3B+ 3B Zero w Zero - InnoMaker Aluminum Case for Raspberry Pi 4 with 3510 PWM Fan Passive Heatsink Aluminum Alloy Case Suitable for DAC/DAC PRO/AMP/AMP PRO/RS485&CAN Hat and Most of Raspberry Pi Add-On Hat - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/785290597-innomaker-hifi-dac-pro-hat-with-es9038q2m-chip-for-raspberry](https://www.desertcart.is/products/785290597-innomaker-hifi-dac-pro-hat-with-es9038q2m-chip-for-raspberry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
