Wow! It is very interesting!
Can this DAC be used with Odroid c2?
Well, why not just try it and we will know.
Why does this particular post seem familiar to me, where did I see those identical pictures?
But posted under another name?

Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce my new DAC:
24bit 192kHz
Burr Brown PCM1793
Sound-Plus High-Performance, JFET-Input Audio OpAmp
Susumu thin film resistors
Nichicon audio capacitors
WIMA FKP for filtering
Low-Noise regulators
This DAC works with an external power supply, it requires ±15V
The supply for this DAC is completely independent from the Raspberry. This is one of the reasons for excellent audio quality
It can be purchased at my webshop:
dial-audio.de/shop/diy/
I have also kits for the powers supplies, send me a pm for prices etc.
Can you please post the specs of your DAC.
• 24-Bit Resolution
• up to 200kHz sampling frequency
• Dynamic Range: 113 dB
• THD+N: 0.001%
• Full-Scale Output: 2.1 V rms
• 8× Oversampling Digital Filter
• Power supply +/- 15V
i just found a DAC diy board with PCM 1794A at elektor magazine.
elektormagazine.de/labs/aud … /labs/1206
elektormagazine.de/news/aud … id=1&pid=1
with additional volume control and line input /output board.
A 3.5" touchscreen is made for volumio 1.55. in 2, it’s not implemented right now.

GY-PCM5102 is a tiny purple i2s DAC with a line out stereo jack, and costs as little as $4. It can be found on Aliexpress, eBay and Amazon. I wired it to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, as in the photo, and selected the HiFiBerry DAC device setting in Volumio. It appears to be working well!

New I-Sabre ES9028 :
Here :
Any help on how to make this work on the raspberry?
I’m trying to use the hifi-berry dac+ overlay on osmc. The card turns up fine, but there’s no sound. Also dmesg gives me this line:
pcm512x 1-004d: No SCLK, using BCLK: -2
Any help?
Cheers
Hmmm you’re not on the right place …
but have you tried to use a “generic driver” (RPI DAC / Hifiberry DAC / ES9023 etc …) this board is a slave.
Pi 2 Design 502DAC - PCM5122 DAC w/WM8804 Digital, Isolated AES/EBU Single Ended and Balanced out, Toslink
http://www.pi2design.com/502dac.html
502DAC Pro - Same digital section, but PCM1792 DAC and LME49600 Headphone Amplifier
Do you know for sure that this DAC works with Volumio? Was having nothing but problem with their ES9018k2m DAC. No open source driver.
Hi,
I’ve just sent an email to Audiophonics site about using this DAC (audiophonics.fr/fr/dac-diy/a … 12105.html) with VolumIO, and the answer is yes it’s possible as this DAC product has been designed to run without any driver thanks to it’s embedded hardware.
On the product page at Audiophonics, you also have one customer feedback saying:
“Perfection - Amazing soulfull clear and strong sound
Took some time before rebuilding an RPI dac macine based on volumio. According to Audiophonics advices (David, many thanks) i took this DAC with a Kali and an IFI power supply. My Hartley S150 never sounded so soulfull with numeric music. Best DAC ever tested. Recommended with high end HIFI.”
David is the guy who answered me (full name is David AUBERT) and the less I can say is he answered me very, very quickly 
So I’m going to buy a set of pieces at Audiophonics: RPI 3 B, this famous Sabre DAC, and the ALLO KALI Reclocker (audiophonics.fr/fr/raspberry … 11433.html).
NanoSound DAC is a TI PCM5122 based DAC which integrates many convenience features, made by NanoMesher - http://nanomesher.com
It features:
- Switchable Power Option (Independently power DAC & Pi or Shared Power)
- Raspberry Pi Power switch
- Turn on and Gracefully shut down Raspberry Pi System
- 6 GPIO buttons for Media Control
- Infrared Receiver and Remote Control
- 1.3" OLED display with multi-language support.
We have also built a headphone & speaker amp for it, just plug the Amp^2 under the NanoSound and with a single 5V Power supply you will add the capability to drive 2 loudspeakers and a demanding headphone set

There is also a complete kit available with 3D printed case:

I used the IQaudIO case from modmypi.com
(modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/ca … case-clear)
very beautiful - the only thing is to make the DAC power connector hole bigger…
Hi I’m new to this with the raspberry and DAC…
I don’t if it’s any good beside any dac that coat 500$ and more…
I bought on ali express the aluminium case raspberry pi3 b and u geek aoide dac II and want to know if you have the extension for the output for it and id someone have listen to it…my friends that are ““true audiophile”” smile at me and think this is shit because it only cost 136$ Canadian.
Thanks to reply
Chris
Since this one is not listed and I got one recently so I will post.
http://www.raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/RPI_HIFI_DAC
It is like an Allo BOSS clone so it uses the Allo BOSS device tree. Master clocked PCM5122 with two oscillators. Sounds better than the PIFI DAC+ and not much more expensive (£19). I do recommend powering it separately and not use the Raspberry 5V which is extremely noisy. You can really hear the differences. I use a TPS7A4700 Low Noise LDO Regulator (linear power supply is expensive 
) to supply the DAC and it works really well since it is LDO (307 mV at 1 A) I can use that on a USB power supply and still get good enough voltage.
