Raspberry Pi5 + DSD DAC HAT / Roon Endpoint / Integrated Headphone Amp - $225 (Pleasanton)
QR Code Link to This Post
Class-leading stereo audio DAC PCM5122, sample rates up to 384-KHz/32-Bit.
Paired with stereo high fidelity headphone amplifier TPA6133.
The Pi5 has an integrated cooler, high-end aluminum case with options to install additional HATs on top. The top cover can be removed easily.
Built a large number of these to equip all rooms at a high-end home in Atherton and have about 8 left over from the project.
We compared against all available streaming endpoints (WiiM, Sonos, Airplay) and other proprietary streaming protocols and it outperformed all. You do need a descent speaker system to get the best audiophile experience.
Can be demoed at my storage unit.
PS: No power supply ($10 on Amazon)
