The Raspberry Pi DAC Pro sound card’s Texas Instruments PCM5242 chip provides top-level signal-to-noise ratio and enables 24-bit / 192 kHz high-resolution audio playback.

The card fits all Raspberry Pi models that have a 40-pin GPIO connector. The card connects to the Raspberry Pi computer directly without soldering or separate cables. DAC Pro supports both RCA line-level output and balanced (differential) audio output, and also includes a separate headphone amplifier.

No external power supply required, as the card draws its operating power directly from the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO connector.
