## Description

desertcart.com: InnoMaker HiFi DAC Pro Hat with ES9038Q2M Chip for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B+/3B/Zero - High-Resolution 384KHz/32bit & DSD512 Audio Card, DAC Converter for Volumio, Moode, Headphone & Balanced Output : Electronics

Review: Great DAC, Fun Build - The Innomaker DAC Pro is an exceptional value, offering impressive sound quality for a fraction of the price of other DACs using the same ES9038 chip. It features an upgraded 3.5mm gold-plated jack and performs seamlessly with Volumio on a Raspberry Pi 5. Paired with an I²C display for song info and a meter, the setup offers a satisfying DIY experience, even for beginners. The DAC delivers an excellent soundstage with comfortable highs and a full, dynamic sound, even at high volumes. Using a vintage Yamaha receiver and budget Sony speakers, the performance is remarkable, leaving room to imagine how much better it would sound with high-end equipment. Tracks in 44.1kHz/16-bit sound great, but the warmth and clarity of 192kHz/24-bit truly stand out, evoking the feel of vinyl with depth and precision. Even my kids love the music this DAC produces! I also plan to build a custom enclosure for the setup, making it a perfect long-term addition to our home. Highly recommended for an affordable entry into DIY HiFi audio.
Review: Outstanding sound for Raspberry Pi 5 - This is the ultimate DAC HAT for the Raspberry Pi. Another reviewer stated it does not work with the Pi 5, but look at the pics posted and you can see the HAT was one pin offset to the right. It works flawlessly on the Pi 5 when properly connected to the GPIO using Volumio. I connected the XLR outputs to my vintage Kenwood Basic C2 preamp. To do this order the Inno Maker XLR cable set of 2, order the Emotiva XLR to RCA adapter (it is properly wired for the conversion) and a set of short male to male RCA cables. Works perfectly and literally blows away the Hifi Berry DAC HD for less $$. I’m very impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ InnoMaker Upgraded DAC HAT is a monster performer!
*by R***2 on September 1, 2025*

I own both DAC HAT's that InnoMaker has for sale here on Amazon, both a great sounding options for Rspberry Pi owners/users. The upper model here is unquestionably a clone card but in its own right is doing everything right in my opinion. With the design and parts implemented the sound quality is top tier again in my opinion. I bought the InnoMaker Balanced and RCA Un-balanced cables that come up in recommended items and everything works as intended. I have mine installed with a Pi4b 4GB, an Anidees heatsink case, with a USB 1TB SSD and my own ripped music FLAC files, with Volumio OS working flawlessly! I bought if before the price increase, but it's still a value even today. Just remember to buy the needed cables for your system as I did and you'll be extremely happy and ready to go.
