Meet the PecanPi DAC
25612 25613

The PecanPi DAC is the only DAC for the RapsberryPi that utilized dual DACs in monaural mode. It also features true balanced dual differential output stages along with full HW digital volume control and re-clocking using a Crystek femtosecond jitter oscillator.

Specifications for XLR Output:

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): 130dB (A-weighted)
Dynamic Range (DNR): 125dB
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N): -110dB or 0.0003%
Output Voltage: 5Vrms

Specifications for RCA Output:

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): 127dB (A-weighted)
Dynamic Range (DNR): 121dB
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N): -110dB or 0.0003%
Output Voltage: 2.5Vrms

Specifications for Headphone Amplifier:

390mW peak power into 32 ohms
780mW peak power into 16 ohms

General Specifications:

Sample Rates: Up to 192kHz
Bit Rates: Up to 24-bit
Compatible Rpi Models: 1B+, 1A+, 2B, 3B, 3B+ Zero, ZeroW
Optional Case Size: 125mm (5") x 125mm (5") x 70mm (2.8")
Bi-amp speakers by using XLR and RCA at the same time.
