Review: Excellent sound quality - Im using this DAC for the last 2 weeks along with raspberry pi 4. The sound quality is excellent, and sounds like it covers most of the frequency range. No noise is not heard which is good while connected to the amplifier. Satisfied with the sound quality. Standoffs, screws, are not included in the package. We need to source them separately. For me, it opened the doors to hi resolution music world.
Review: This is a high quality DAC with inbuilt master clock. - Amazing sound quality. And since this contains the master clock, there is no need for a reclocker. It is superior than other DACs that have a slave clock which works on the on board RPI clock.

## Features

- RPI-HIFI-DAC Module is made to solve the problem of Raspberry Pi with audio files sampled at 44khz and multiple, too much jitter on i2s clocks.
- We enter the master mode for i2s instead of the RPI giving the clock on the line, the DAC itself sends the clocks and RPI sends the data (file to be played).
- RPI-HIFI-DAC is unique for we have implemented the design. First we separated the power on 3 channels and filter it: one for digital side, second for analog, third for the clocks.
- We use some good brand LDOs on the market. In addition, we used two oscillators with very low jitter for clock units. On the analog stage we are using a film capacitor (not ceramic) for a quiet DC to

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Innomaker is not an i2s option in Volumio. Which should be selected or entered into config.txt?**
A: Just made this card work with RP 4 Model B with Volumio. When running the Config Wizard, I had to answer the question “I have an I2S DAC” with an answer “No”, then under “Select your audio output”, you have only three choices: HDMI Out, Headphones, and Allos Boss. Select Allos Boss. It works great!
However, when I kept answering yes to the question “I have an I2S DAC”,  then I was still able to select “Allos Boss” within a long list of different DAC cards, like HiFi Berry, etc. But this card didn’t work with this way of selection.

**Q: Can you leave a 3.5 mm jack extension connected and still be able get output through the rca? can you select the output through the interface?**
A: I do not try to connect both cable, but on the operating system (raspi) it gives option to choose audio output between 3,5, RCA and HDMI with left click on sound symbol. My Raspi see 3,5 and HDMI, but I have to add some lines to config file for Inno HiFi card to make it see.

**Q: Will this work with Le Potaoe?**
A: I couldn't get my raspberry pi streamer to work at all. After dozens of attempts I finally gave up and bought a Yamaha lol see R N393 network receiver and am happy with all it's features.

**Q: Can you share a link to that plastic case in the picture you attached during your review?  I like the looks of it.**
A: You can buy from our Amazon shop.It's in stock.
