Used on RP3b, RP4 and RP5. Used with power conditioner and without. A tad better with conditioner. Works flawlessly with Moodeaudio ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good and good value *by A***R on 1 November 2025* pretty good, It has 5 PCM filters to choose from. The manufacture did not document the different filters so choose wisely. Theres also a deemphasis option under alsamixer that's also undocumented. There is one big problem, the GPIO header on this board is way too tight, it takes a lot of force to put on or take off and can damage your board if you're not careful. this dac also sounds different (at least to me) on pi4b and pi5, the manufacture uses dtoverlay from another company, so it's hard to say if the firmware is working correctly or not with different board models there was another review that said it sounds worse than Motu mk5 ultralite, I have several MOTUs including mk5 and it sounds pretty close when you use the auxiliary power port. I would say it sounds identical to Motu's implementation of the ESS sabre dac. make sure you order the matching cables from Innomaker ## Frequently Bought Together - Raspberry Pi HiFi DAC Pro Hat ES9038Q2M Audio Card PCM DSD Lossless High Resolution Digital-to-Analog Converter Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 4 3B+ 3B Zero w Zero - InnoMaker Aluminum Case for Raspberry Pi 4 with 3510 PWM Fan Passive Heatsink Aluminum Alloy Case Suitable for DAC/DAC PRO/AMP/AMP PRO/RS485&CAN Hat and Most of Raspberry Pi Add-On Hat - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/523918107-raspberry-pi-hifi-dac-pro-hat-es9038q2m-audio-card-pcm](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/523918107-raspberry-pi-hifi-dac-pro-hat-es9038q2m-audio-card-pcm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
