“Easy to use, very nice form factor, support for Phono (optional addon) is great.
Sound is clear, very low noise floor (high SNR)
Seems to have no Hardware Volume Control so you are restricted to using software which has Software Volume Control (reduces SNR)
Sounds Fantastic, Line Level output so will not work well with earphones or other Audio outputs without an Amplifier. Simple to follow guide on set-up.
Great little addon!
only uses 3 GPIO (+ Power/GND) so can be part of a stack of multiple HATs+pHATs without much issue!”

curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/phatdac | bash”
“With the Raspberry Pi Zero and the pHAT DAC it is easy to extend a existing multiroom music system:
