RPI HiFi AMP HAT TAS5713 Amplifier Audio Module 25W Class-D Power Sound Card Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi 5 4 3 B+ Pi Zero Nichicon Capacitor

I can't speak to the longevity of this yet but performance wise it's quite good. I bought this to drive a low power in-wall speaker. I also have a hifiberry AMP2 that I am using to drive a pair of bookshelf speakers. As a test, I hooked one speaker up to the AMP2 and the other to this board and couldn't detect much of a difference. I didn't exhaustively compare the audio quality as these aren't being paired up with audiophile grade critical listening speakers, but for typical consumer grade bookshelf speakers and low to medium volume this board performs quite well. I paired this with a raspberry pi zero W running piCorePlayer and got it working in about 5 minutes.

I had accumulated some spare parts here and there and felt like making a little HiFi project. I had a Pi/SD card, 7” touchscreen, speaker wire, and banana plugs/fittings on hand as well as a 12V 3A power supply with a DC barrel plug. This Hat brings a 25W amp, and a decent DAC, so that was all the hardware needed other than speakers.It went together as expected and I decided to try the open source moOde as a streamer solution. This, Volumio, and others are included specifically in the online setup documentation. I 3D printed a simple case to house all this stuff (the back cover is still printing) and am presently listening to it as I write this.

This hat has cost me about 32hrs. of troubleshooting only to realize it is incompatible with GPIONext. I think the documentation is wrong about what pins it uses. Edit: Turns out the software is incompatible. The documentation is among the worst I've ever seen BTW. If you're building an arcade and insist on using this hat, you can have audio or a GPIO joystick; not both. The first photo is before; the second photo is the after picture. This project is ruined for now and possibly forever.

I'm using this for a Raspberry Pi media player. I'd already purchased a Dayton bluetooth amp which worked well enough, but needed a USB soundcard to get decent sound from the Pi. Unfortunately that solution also required 12V to the amp and 5V to the pi. I wish I would have seen this earlier. The fact that this is the amp, DAC, and powers the Raspberry Pi makes this ridiculously simple to set up. The downloadable install guide has the information you need to set up Volumio and other media players. I have it hooked up to some bare speakers right now until I can build a cabinet, but I'm not hearing any noise. When I first set it up, I picked the wrong HiFiBerry option, but after reviewing the settings and my selection, I was quickly able to get this working.There's information in the docs on eventual IR support, pinouts showing which pins are in use. It's very thorough.

There are two issues with this amp HAT that made me return it. First, the description is vague regarding how many watts it outputs. The description says 25 watts. I assumed it was 25 watts per channel, but after using it, I'm sure it is only 25 watts total, so 12.5 watts per channel. There is no real reason why this could not have been made clear in the description. Secondly, the headers for attaching the speakers, power supply (if elected) and ground are way too small. I would guess that only wire about 18 AWG would fit in the screw headers, certainly not 14 AWG wire which is a common speaker wire size. Using undersized wire, I did listen to the output and it didn't sound bad, so I give it three stars instead of one.

Wow! Super happy with this. Couldnt imagine it driving even heavy bookshelf speakers but it does that and then some!! This thing is amazing. Get the matching acrylic case! Allows you to turn a RPI 2 into one heck of an audio endpoint. Using LMS and running PiCore Player. Absolutely worth every penny and then some!!! Well done!

I got this working on ropieeeXL on my pi4 after consulting with the roon community forum. You can select 'HifiBerry AMP/AMP+' as your Audio HAT for your raspberry pi on the ropieeeXL General settings page. Works just as it should.

I recently purchased the Innomaker DAC and AMP product, and unfortunately, I must say that I am quite disappointed with my purchase. While the product itself seems to be of decent quality, the lack of information in both the manual and product description has made it difficult for me to properly use and enjoy the product.Firstly, the manual that comes with the product is incredibly sparse and lacking in detail. It does not provide any clear instructions on how to set up the DAC and AMP, leaving me to fumble around with the product for quite some time before I was able to figure out how to properly use it.Additionally, the product description on the manufacturer's website also lacks crucial information about the product. It does not provide any information on what types of headphones are compatible with the product, leaving me unsure if my headphones would work with it or not.Overall, I am disappointed with my purchase of the Innomaker DAC and AMP product. While the product itself may be decent, the lack of information in the manual and product description has made it difficult for me to use and fully enjoy the product. I would recommend looking for a different product that provides more comprehensive instructions and product details.
