Great little addition to our existing amplifier in the office - working on a Raspberry Zero Wireless with Raspotify installed, without an issue with excellent audio quality.

Arrived just as advertised in nice packaging. The playful spirit of Pimoroni continues in their packaging.

Excellent product: easy to install physically, software bundled is amazing and just works. The sound quality is really very good. The small lcd screen is really sharp and bright. Pimoroni and Pirate audio have excellent support. This is pertinent to the review as the first pirate audio line out board i purchased developed an intermittent issue about 8 months in and it was replaced without question and the cost of postage for the replacement was covered. Overall, the value of the board coupled with the aftersales support from Pimoroni makes this an absolute no brainer if you need line out from your pi. (I am a customer of Pimoroni. I do not receive any benefits from leaving positive reviews.)

I added a battery board a raspberry pi zero and added the pirate audio line out connected with a bluetooth transmitter to create a portable music player. the screen and buttons on the pirate audio board are perfect for this use. I also added SMB support as well as using this as a wireless access point. this all around device build would not have been possible without pimoroni.

Managed to get it working with Moode Audio - it shows up as Hifiberry DAC for anyone using Moode. The display does work with Moode but you need a workaround from here https://github.com/rusconi/TFT-MoodeCoverArt which seems to work but is a little flakey ... But yes, nice good quality DAC - trouble free for what I need to use it for.

The packaging was great to be dropped directly into the mailbox and the product itself works and sounds great. Display is small but just enough to show album art and track info.
