The HiFiBerry DAC+ DSP is a high-resolution audio HAT for Raspberry Pi computers with a 40-pin GPIO connector. It provides a stereo analog output with up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback, stereo optical digital input supporting up to 96 kHz, and optical digital output supporting up to 192 kHz. Its 300 MHz DSP can execute up to 6,144 instructions per sample and includes FFT and FIR acceleration, enabling programmable processing such as loudness control, FIR filtering, and dynamic equalization. An onboard EEPROM allows the board to boot and operate without a Raspberry Pi in suitable standalone applications. The board is compatible with Raspberry Pi models having a 40-pin GPIO connector, including Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3, and Zero variants.
