Instead of blowing hundreds of dollars on hi-fi streaming equipment, some audio fans rely on a Raspberry Pi. That\u2019s right; you can revolutionize your home audio with an affordable Pi computer\u2014all you need is a DAC. And there are plenty of official options to choose from.<\/p>\n

The Raspberry Pi Foundation began selling DAC HATs two years ago. These HATs, which were originally designed by IQaudio, add analog audio components to a Pi computer. You can use a Pi DAC+<\/a> to connect your Raspberry Pi to an amplifier or A\/V receiver, for instance.<\/p>\n

And if you want to pair your Raspberry Pi with passive speakers, there\u2019s always the\u00a0Pi DigiAMP+<\/a>, a HAT with an integrated amplifier. These components are quite effective, and they\u2019re often utilized in music streamer projects. (One of my favorite projects turns the Raspberry Pi into a touchscreen music streaming interface<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Here are the hi-fi HATs offered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation:<\/p>\n

These HATs received a small redesign<\/a> on December 2nd, which is why we\u2019re highlighting them today. Of course, this redesign is mostly superficial. The hi-fi HATs now use a green circuit board (instead of black)<\/a> and are ever-so-slightly reengineered to streamline manufacturing. (Functionally speaking, the update changes nothing about these boards.)<\/p>\n

According to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, you may receive a redesigned hi-fi HAT when ordering from a retailer. But this isn\u2019t guaranteed. I\u2019m sure that retailers like CanaKit are still carrying the old black boards, which may take some time to sell out.<\/p>\n

You can find all of Raspberry Pi\u2019s hi-fi equipment on the company\u2019s products page<\/a>. Note that the Raspberry Pi Foundation doesn\u2019t sell directly to consumers. You need to purchase this stuff through a retailer like CanaKit.<\/p>\n
