Excellent Audio
Much better audio quality compared to other PI DAC Hats I have tried. The IR receiver component is not fitted.

The Innomaker DAC Pro is an exceptional value, offering impressive sound quality for a fraction of the price of other DACs using the same ES9038 chip. It features an upgraded 3.5mm gold-plated jack and performs seamlessly with Volumio on a Raspberry Pi 5. Paired with an I²C display for song info and a meter, the setup offers a satisfying DIY experience, even for beginners. The DAC delivers an excellent soundstage with comfortable highs and a full, dynamic sound, even at high volumes. Using a vintage Yamaha receiver and budget Sony speakers, the performance is remarkable, leaving room to imagine how much better it would sound with high-end equipment. Tracks in 44.1kHz/16-bit sound great, but the warmth and clarity of 192kHz/24-bit truly stand out, evoking the feel of vinyl with depth and precision. Even my kids love the music this DAC produces! I also plan to build a custom enclosure for the setup, making it a perfect long-term addition to our home. Highly recommended for an affordable entry into DIY HiFi audio.

Good...Ok.... 3.5 mm output only working.

It sounds somewhat cold and harsh compared to the Iquadio dac pro on my Genelecs with 3.5mm to XLR balanced input. I tried linear powersupply and powering the dac standalone.

In gebruik als PiCorePlayer in combinatie met een Pi 3 Model B Plus. Spacers worden geleverd om deze HAT stevig op de Pi te monteren. Deze kaart heeft 3 manieren om voeding te krijgen. Twee werken niet in deze combinatie en een aparte 1A voeding voor deze kaart is noodzakelijk. Dit is overigens een pluspunt. Ik heb mij ietwat verkeken op de audio aansluitingen; vanwege het ontbreken van XLR op mijn versterker deze nu aangesloten met een phone-jack to RCA kabel. Ik kwam erachter dat de service van inno-maker uitstekend is; een vraag hierover was de volgende ochtend beantwoord. Citaat: "Get single end signal from headphone to RCA is the correct way to use it. it wouldn't cause any quality degrade." Het heeft dus geen zin om moeilijk te doen met extra conversie kabels XLR to RCA (scheelt weer minstens €30). Het geluid is in eerste instantie wel zacht. Dit kan worden verholpen met een correcte instelling van de Salsa Mixer door deze op 0db te zetten. Tip zet wel eerst het volume van de versterker weer terug. Hoe is het geluid? Goede vraag dat laat ik aan de deskundige over. Ik gebruik deze combi voornamelijk voor Internet radio. Wellicht overkill maar een goede basis voor de toekomst.

Works well and I can recommend it. I plugged it into the Raspberry Pi 3 and installed Moode. Configuration was easy and it worked immediately. The sound quality I found very good although audiophiles might want something better.
