Product Description
InnoMaker HiFi DAC Pro Hat
This Hat is based on a high performance audio DAC chip ES9038Q2M. The ES9038Q2M handles up to 32-bit/384kHz(PCM), DSD256 and DSD512 data in master or slave timing modes. It use the critically acclaimed ESS patented 32-bit HyperStream II DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator and delivers a DNR of up to 129dB and THD+N of -120db, a performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.
On-board two low jitter oscillators(45.158M and 49.152M) to support ES9038Q2M master mode, support more exact sample rate clocks of ES9038Q2M. Different from other DAC hat that forced user to use the IIS master clocks from Raspberry Pi which comes with a lot of jitter, just for save cost and design time.
On-board three Texas Instruments SoundPlus High-Fidelity Audio Operational Amplifier, afford 2.1vrms output. The best output level for most of device.
A lot of high-end music mobile phone, digital music players, digital music workstations were based on the ES9038Q2M chips and same designed. So we are very pleasure to take it to the Raspberry Pi player. No soldering, no additional cables. Just plug it in and do some simple configuration, You can get a same high-class low-cost music player.

(The manual is on their website. The software alternatives are all open source or freely downloadable, and can be had from their respective websites).
Pros:
+ Comes with instructions for various software, making it easy to set up.
+ Hardware installation is straightforward, with a user-friendly design.
+ Provides high-quality sound with PCM and DSD lossless formats.
+ Can be powered directly from Raspberry Pi
+ Can use XLR for cleaner sound
Cons:
- Software installation requires some involment, which is typical for these kinds of HATs, and may require some technical knowledge.
- XLR cable is non-standard due to smaller size, but easy to find
Installation of the DAC is straightforward, as it simply plugs into the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi. Once connected, the adapter is automatically detected by the Raspberry Pi's operating system, and the necessary drivers are loaded. This makes it easy to get up and running with high-quality audio in no time.
In terms of sound quality, the Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC Pro Hat ES9038Q2M Audio Card delivers excellent performance. The DAC is capable of producing highly detailed and accurate sound, with a wide soundstage and excellent clarity. It is particularly well-suited for high-resolution audio, and can handle both PCM and DSD formats with ease.
Overall, the Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC Pro Hat ES9038Q2M Audio Card is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade the audio capabilities of their Raspberry Pi. It is easy to install and use, and delivers outstanding sound quality that is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophiles.

I tested the DAC using two power options, jumper removed (powering the boards separately) and with jumper (powering both boards with one supply). My meter showed the boards didn’t use much power and I never heard any crackling. I will test this more later when I connect a bench power supply.
Setting up the software was easy enough. High resolution FLACs from the NAS on my Ethernet sounded good. I listened to local radio stations over the Internet.
I found that more powerful computers did better with Volumio’s Web Interface. Intel NUC Core i5 and Chromebook did fine, Galaxy Tab S would only perform half the functions and Fire 7 (2019) did nothing but play a song that had already been selected with another computer. The system requirements for the complex Volumio Web Interface doesn’t detract from the quality rating of the DAC.
While Ethernet did fine, I had problems with WiFi. It wouldn’t start the DAC (got page not found message) but would work if I started the DAC connected with Ethernet cable then removed the cable and continued on WiFi. I don’t know what I could be doing wrong. There is likely a WiFi discovery setting that I have missed somewhere and doesn’t detract from the quality of the hardware.
I like this DAC. I will try to run it with the Tinker Board. Try different software. I might try to come up with a portable power source, I have some 5v battery options. I would like to see what it does on the Pi Zero W.

Deze kaart heeft 3 manieren om voeding te krijgen. Twee werken niet in deze combinatie en een aparte 1A voeding voor deze kaart is noodzakelijk. Dit is overigens een pluspunt.
Ik heb mij ietwat verkeken op de audio aansluitingen; vanwege het ontbreken van XLR op mijn versterker deze nu aangesloten met een phone-jack to RCA kabel. Ik kwam erachter dat de service van inno-maker uitstekend is; een vraag hierover was de volgende ochtend beantwoord. Citaat: "Get single end signal from headphone to RCA is the correct way to use it. it wouldn't cause any quality degrade." Het heeft dus geen zin om moeilijk te doen met extra conversie kabels XLR to RCA (scheelt weer minstens €30).
Het geluid is in eerste instantie wel zacht. Dit kan worden verholpen met een correcte instelling van de Salsa Mixer door deze op 0db te zetten. Tip zet wel eerst het volume van de versterker weer terug.
Hoe is het geluid? Goede vraag dat laat ik aan de deskundige over. Ik gebruik deze combi voornamelijk voor Internet radio. Wellicht overkill maar een goede basis voor de toekomst.

I only added two things, this DAC and 5V/1A power supply, on my RPI 3b+. The cheesy cable and speakers are still through yet. But the change is dramatically amazing!!! If you were same as me, you could never go back without this. Definition and quality of sound improved, the clarity is so satisfying much.
