About the ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8

The ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 is a DIY digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed as a HAT for Raspberry Pi. It utilizes eight Philips TDA1387 multibit DAC chips in parallel, offering a non-oversampling (NOS) design without a low-pass output filter. This setup allows for 16-bit PCM conversion at sample rates up to 384 kbps. The DAC is simple to construct and is compatible with various Raspberry Pi configurations, including native support with STEALTH V3 and recommended use with a linear power supply (LPS) for optimal performance. The components are carefully selected for high-quality sound, which is described as warm, transparent, musical, and detailed with deep bass response.
