Yes, exactly, you've got it! The DacZero board is the PCM5122 DAC. The DacZeroHP (that stacks on top of it) is the headphone amplifier. Both of those boards combined, equals a full-size DAC+ board. I don't want to turn this into thread into me trying to "push" a product at you. I have no interest in this, other than passing on the details of the IQAudIO offer to you guys, but £10 or £11 (soldered header) is a great deal for a PCM5122 DAC board. ISTR, the 'Pimoroni pHAT board' (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/phat-dac) is £12. That sports the "lower spec" PCM5102a. With the PCM5122, you at least have the capability to use the hardware (on-chip) volume control and select filter from ALSA mixer.

Sure, you can! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018
