Datasheet Digi2 Pro

Overview

The HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro is a high-resolution SPDIF interface for the Raspberry Pi (newer models with 40 pin GPIO connector). This is a special sound card for the Raspberry Pi, optimised for one specific use case: affordable high-quality audio playback.

Facts

  • SPDIF output 2-channel
  • can be equipped with an additional Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for flexible audio processing
  • No volume or sound controls, just passes digital audio as it is sent from the application (“bit-perfect”)
  • Output isolation transformer
  • Connects directly to the Raspberry Pi, no additional cables needed
  • No soldering, comes as a pre-fabricated kit. You just plug it onto the Raspberry Pi, it is conform to the Raspberry Pi hardware-attached-on-top (HAT) specification.
  • Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models with a 40-pin GPIO connector
  • Directly powered from the Raspberry Pi, no additional power supply
  • Low-noise linear voltage regulator
  • Low-jitter dual-domain clock for optimised clock decoupling from the Raspberry Pi
  • HAT compliant, EEPROM for automatic configuration
  • Comes with all components required to mount it. We include 4 M2.5x12mm spacers to fix the board onto the Raspberry Pi
