Bipra ES9038Q2M DAC Hat 384kHz 32bit DSD512 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-WZ6W-DZK3D

High-resolution DAC HAT adds 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD512 audio with 129 dB DNR to Raspberry Pi via 40-pin GPIO

  • Flagship ES9038Q2M chip delivers 129 dB dynamic range and -120 dB THD+N
  • Dual 45.158 MHz and 49.152 MHz clocks eliminate jitter for accurate sample rates
  • 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD512 support provides studio-quality bit-perfect playback
  • Plug-and-play 40-pin GPIO fits Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, 3B, Zero W and Zero
  • Three TI SoundPlus op-amps drive 2.1 Vrms via 3.5 mm jack and balanced outputs

ES9038Q2M DAC Hat for Raspberry Pi

This new Bipra accessory adds a high-resolution audio card to any Raspberry Pi model from Zero through Pi 5 via the 40-pin GPIO header. The ES9038Q2M chip delivers 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD512 playback with 129dB DNR and -120dB THD+N for studio-quality sound. No soldering or extra cables are required for installation.

Ideal for audio projects, not video

Makers building a Volumio, Moode Audio, RuneAudio, LibreELEC or Raspbian music streamer get plug-and-play high-fidelity output through a 3.5mm jack and balanced X+/X- terminals driven by three Texas Instruments op-amps at 2.1Vrms. Builders who need video capture, sensor interfaces or additional GPIO breakout pins should look at a different accessory board.

ES9038Q2M chip with dual ultra-low jitter clocks

Independent 45.158MHz and 49.152MHz oscillators replace the Pi's internal timing to eliminate jitter and ensure bit-perfect sample rates. This clock architecture is the specification that determines whether the hat meets the fidelity requirements of a high-end headphone or balanced audio system.

Questions about this item

Which Raspberry Pi models does this DAC Hat fit?

It plugs directly into the 40-pin GPIO header on Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, 3B, Zero W and Zero without soldering.

What does 384 kHz 32-bit and DSD512 mean for playback?

The ES9038Q2M chip decodes PCM up to 384 kHz at 32-bit and DSD512 natively, delivering bit-perfect studio-quality audio.

What interface does the board use and what limits apply?

It connects via the 40-pin GPIO header and is driven by dual 45.158 MHz and 49.152 MHz clocks for precise sample rates.
