Simply stack the plug-and-play add-on board (HAT) onto your Raspberry Pi A+, B+, 2B or the new 3B, and it will be ready to use immediately. The JustBoom Digi HAT produces an unmodified, high-quality digital audio data stream for bit-perfect transmission to your hi-fi system.

JustBoom designed the Digi HAT to be simple to install and use. With no soldering required and all the mounting hardware already provided, this product is suitable for beginners and seasoned professionals alike. Just connect your Digi HAT to external DAC or amplifier/amplified speakers and you can be up and running quickly, enjoying flawless high-quality audio playback within minutes.

The Raspberry Pi Digi HAT uses the I2S interface for its audio input, which reduces CPU load on the Raspberry Pi compared with USB solutions. It is also powered directly from the GPIO header, so no extra cables or power supplies are required to connect to the Raspberry Pi. All of the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are still accessible on the Digi HAT for easy customization of your project. Add additional sensors, buttons, LEDs, rotary encoders or anything your heart desires.
