ADAU1701, ADAU1452, PCM5242 & Volumio

Hello everyone,

I really want to share our projects. They are not DIY, but I did not find a more suitable place, so I am posting here.
We are a small engineering company «ChipDip.» has released three complete HAT projects for the Raspberry Pi. These are expansion boards for high quality sound. When we started we were inspired by Volumio.
The driver and overlay for Raspberry Pi OS is called ChipDip DAC
To build a streamer, you can use any Raspberry Pi. The microcomputer is installed on a 40-pin audio card connector. As software, use any player or OS image that is recorded on a microSD card for Raspberry Pi. Operating systems automatically detect the ChipDip DAC audio card and configure sound output to it.
All CAD files are published on PCBWAY. You will also find the firmware there.

We really want you to make any of the projects and share your comments.

I will answer any questions and support you in assembly and programming.

The first project is DSP Machines 1.
