Product Description
InnoMaker HiFi DAC Audio Hat for Raspberry Pi
- The Innomaker HiFi DAC Hat maybe the best optimized partner for Raspberry Pi audio output.
- Used on-board PCM5122 as the IIS clock master, instead of the clocks from RPI which comes with too much jitter.
- Added dual low jitter oscillators(45.158M and 49.152M) to support more exact sample rate clocks.
- No soldering, no additional cables. Just plug it in and do some simple configuration,
- You would get a high-class music player which is low-cost.

Installation was a bit tricky for me; my Raspberry Pi 3 would not recognize the card with my 2.5 Amp power supply.
I tried the card with my Raspberry Pi 2 and it works great!
I'm very happy with the performance and surprisingly low noise floor.
The only issue I ran into was that the manufacturer/vendor did not include any specific instructions for running this streamer with Pi-Core-Player. However, after reviewing the other setups that were described, I was able to pick a setup option that worked very nicely.
This DAC HAT has good sound output, is easy to set up, and works quite well.
Great for heavy metal
Nice sounding DAC, better than built-in audio on rPi but not as good as quality USB DAC.
Case well built, works for rPi 3 and 4 but has poor quality soft metal fasteners that can strip or be easily damaged.
---------------
Now the longer details for those who might be interested.
We have a music and video streamer on a small server (Zimaboard). Using Jellyfin for video and Logitech Media Server (LMS) for audio. LMS connects to local media (FLAC, opus, mp3) and qobuz streaming high def audio.
We have a rPi 3B+ and a rPi 4 connected to stereos in our living room and family room. The 3 was connected to an old FiiO e10K USB DAC and the rPi 4 to a Topping E10 Lite DAC also via USB. The rPi 4/Topping sounded incredible using moOde. The rPi 3/FiiO, also running moOde, sounded ok, but not nearly as clear or detailed as Topping.
Wanted to upgrade the rPi3 and rather than pay $99 for another Topping to pair with the old rPi, decided to go with the InnoMaker HAT and case. Both came well packaged. The case needed to be assembled after getting the paper wrapping off the pieces. Took some time and patience, but they came off. Instructions for the DAC and case were online at the URL in the DAC box. Very detailed and helpful especially since you get 3 different sized standoffs. Only negative was the quality of the standoffs and screws. Very soft metal. The threads either arrived damaged on one of the screws, or else they got damaged when I put the screw thru the hole in the rPi board. Simple contact with the hole in the board should NOT have damaged the threads but they were damaged and with no spares, I had to force thru the bad threads using needle nose pliers and a pair or regular pliers. Unlikely I wll be able to unscrew it when/if the board or DAC ever dies and needs replacing. Would have preferred nylon screws or some of type of fastener. But other than that, with care, it all got assembled and looked pretty good.
Plugged it in. Went to moOde and changed the audio source to Allo Boss DAC and rebooted the rPi 3. It sounds really good. Not as good as the rPi 4 with the $99 Topping DAC but still really good. And much better than with the old FiiO USB DAC. Didn't mention the change to my wife and she remarked last evening that the music sounds better, much more clear. I took that as a good sign as she rarely comments about the quality of the music so for her to notice says something.
All in all happy with the purchase. If I had been using a rPi 4 I might have gone for another $99 Topping E30 Lite or the similar quality $79 S.M.S.L SU-1 DAC instead of the Pi HAT for the minimal price difference but I decided to give these a try and am glad I did.
I hope this helps.

8. enjoy.
Sound quality is very good. It seems more musical and more power than my another DAT HAT Hifiberry DAC2 Pro, It is installed on RPI 3A+ powered by Hifiberry OS. Both of these DAC are using headphone jack as output.
Highly recommanded RPI DAC hat, worth for every penny.
The only complain is no stand provided with the DAC hat
The case, while easy enough to assemble, took me nearly an hour just to remove the protective paper coating. It was also missing one of the top brass nuts, so only three are presently holding it all together, which does not seem to be a big problem. I wonder how I could get a single replacement brass nut for this?
Anyway, awesome product! Will be purchasing more of them soon enough.
