Audio DAC SHIM (Line-Out) Pimoroni

DESCRIPTION

A super-simple, slimline way to hook up a hi-fi amp or powered speakers to your Raspberry Pi! Output punchy digital I2S audio whilst leaving your GPIO pins conveniently accessible.

This addon has been designed with a clever friction fit header which slips handily over your GPIO pins to be sandwiched between the Raspberry Pi and a HAT requiring zero soldering making it easily removable.

The PCM5100A DAC chip takes high quality digital audio from your Pi and pipes out crisp, line-level 24-bit / 192KHz stereo audio through the 3.5mm jack. Because Audio DAC SHIM adds no extra bulk to your Pi it’s perfect for fitting inside sleek cases or hiding inside hi-fis, media centres or radiograms – letting you play music or stream digital radio through that still perfectly good sound system. It’s also a handy way to add an audio output to your Pi Zero or Pi 400!
