HiFiBerry DAC2 HD

HiFiBerry DAC2 HD is the next generation DAC. With a new layout and improved components, HifiBerry succeeds in further increasing the sound quality.

For best sound quality, a Burr-Brown chip is used. The DAC2 HD has its own ultra-low jitter clock, making it independent of the clock on the Raspberry Pi. Especially mid and high frequencies profit from this precise clock with a crystal clear sound.

The HiFiBerry DAC2 HD can control the output volume with the Alsamixer. Other applications that support the ALSA mixer can also be used here.

For operation under Linux, at least Kernel 4.19.97 is required.

The HiFiBerry DAC2 HD is plugged directly onto the Raspberry Pi. No soldering etc. is necessary. The HiFiBerry DAC2 HD is powered by the Raspberry Pi, therefore no additional power supply is needed.

The HiFiBerry DAC2 HD is supplied as standard with the appropriate spacers to connect it to the Raspberry Pi.

The DAC2 HD directly supports the optional DSP module (not included).

Gold-plated RCA plugs provide an optimal connection to the audio cable.

Plug & Play with Max2Play especially for HiFiBerry sound cards

Max2Play offers a browser-based administration interface for Raspberry Pi on a Linux basis. With Max2Play, applications (Max2Play extensions) can be installed and administrated on a minicomputer without any Linux knowledge. The controls can be accessed via smartphone, tablet or computer, without connecting a mouse or keyboard to the minicomputer.
The Max2Play image has been optimized for HiFiBerry sound cards and can be set up easily. It ensures the best support of the HiFiBerry DAC and Raspberry Pi combination. The HiFiBerry DAC can easily be installed with the help of a Max2Play extension. The extension installs all necessary drivers. After activating the sound card, it can be used by the audio players (e.g. Squeezelite) for sound output. The volume settings are then automatically set to the optimal levels.
