For the last four days I've been using this DAC on the Raspberry Pi 2 with 16/44.1 and 24/192 FLAC files.
So far no problems at all.

How is the sound quality? I have here mamboberry dac with the same chip and it sounds very good.

I don't have any other DACs to compare it with, but the quality is certainly as good as playing the CDs on my now elderly Marantz CD46 (using Sennheiser HD598 headphones.) But all this is subjective anyhow.

Hey friends, I just found some problem in my headphones and I want to replace them. I am confused in selecting one of the Headphone brands. I asked from all my friends but everyone has different opinion. Please help guys!

Hello,
Just installed my dac on my raspberry pi 2
DAC is this one : http://www.audiophonics.fr/en/kits-modu ... -9978.html

just plugged the GPIO, and analog output does not apper in runeaudio mpd output list. I only have raspberry digital one and hdmi one.

Is it supported ?
Do I have to reinstall runeaudio ?

I've uncomment device_tree_param=i2s=on in boot/config.txt

Checking the dmesg, I see nothing about it...
Regards,
Rico

I have the same i2s dac but from eBay.(http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audiophonics-DA ... 3f51d98ab0) It was working with a lot of clicks and breaks of silence sometimes.
Now I have the problem that after a week when I switch to Hifiberry DAC there is no sound anymore. When I switch to Hifiberry DAC+ I cannot choose in MPD the I2s. The raspberry analogue is running fine BTW. The config.txt (opened through WinSCP) does not show any configuration of the DAC;
# RuneAudio settings
cmdline=cmdline_linux-arch-rpi_3.12.26-1-ARCH.txt
kernel=linux-arch-rpi_3.12.26-1-ARCH.img

Checked all connections as they were working from DAC to Pi B+ GPIO;
5V to pin2
PWR GND to pin6 (gnd)
BCK to pin12
MCLK to pin34 (gnd)
LRCK to pin35
GND dac to pin39
DATA to pin40

HELP Please!! Did the DAC die on me, is this plain rubbish or is there a configuration issue?? (cheap dac became expensive dac?)

Hi mike,

When I switch to Hifiberry DAC+ I cannot choose in MPD the I2s.

This is OK, because the Hifiberry DAC + needs a I2C connection.
If the I2C chip is not detected the driver doesn't load.

The config.txt (opened through WinSCP) does not show any configuration of the DAC;

As you are on a RP B+ this is also OK, because the kernel on your device doesn't use DeviceTree.

Try to enable I2S (Hifiberry DAC) on the settings page and then post the debug data.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the info. Below debug data with HifiBerry DAC driver enabled in settings and HifiBerry DAC I2s in MPD enabled;
Looking forward to your findings.
