“Used this to setup a PiZero based web radio player in a afternoon. I started from a fresh, current Jessie Lite image. The installation instructions worked with no problem and even provided a audio test. After installing mpeg321 mp3 files played right away. Getting mdp/mpc to run was reasonable easy (manually adding the card by name to the mpd config did the trick.
Compared to the trouble of getting a Wolfson/Cirrus audio card to run this was really painless.
Now if only there was a line input phat...”
“HI.
A very good DAC for RaspiZero, with a specific form factor. Very nice. The only problem is that for generate a goog image por Zero, you need a lot of time, another Raspi (B+) and is a little complex (update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, raspi-update, etc, so you get a Jessie Linux ...... ): https://volumio.org/forum/#p18306
I have put a image of Volumio1.55 specific for Raspi Zero with PhatDac with WIFI config for Edimax dongle (Network Name:volumio/No Security) on my drive google (i cannot put the link here, if you want it, contact me jimenoma3 gmail).
You only need to put this image in a SD (2 Gigas minimal) with dd, config your Wifi (you can, for facility, use your mobile as a Access Point) with Network Name "volumio" and NO Security, and boot the RaspiZero with the PhatDac and a wifi Edimax dongle connected, et voilГЎ.
Your Zero will connect to the mobile Wifi, so now yo can config the Network on Volumio for your real home wifi, so in your mobile navegator go to: 192.168.43.3:80 (put the IP address of your Raspi, yo can see in the mobile) and change the Network parameters to your Home Wifi settings.

“Neat little board, easy to connect, easy to set up. Sound is good - about the same as a modestly priced CD player Like with the Pi Zero, not having the header soldered means you can just use the lines you need and are free to pick whatever layout you like. I put mine beneath a zero (a pHAB-dac?) so I can save even more space by having the output socket between the boards.”
“Andrea's advice is spot on about adding dtoverlay=i2s-mmap which is needed to run sonic pi, on Jessie anyway.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
and add the line: dtoverlay=i2s-mmap
Sound quality is so much better than the default, which is, frankly, unusable.
Wish I'd got the long pins female socket to be able to stack hats:
